: ―Chester Phillips and Steve Rogers[src]
The team was formed during World War II out from various Allied P.O.W.s after they were rescued, along with 394 other soldiers that were held prisoners at the HYDRA Base Camp C3, by Captain America, who infiltrated the base after learning that the 107th was held captive there. Though loyal to the American Strategic Scientific Reserve, the unit consisted of fighters from the United States Armed Forces' 107th Infantry Regiment, the British Military, and the French Resistance.
==== HYDRA Raids ====
The new unit, led by Rogers and Bucky Barnes, traveled around Western Europe to eliminate every HYDRA base they could find. Their operations were some of the most successful of the entire war. The team was responsible for the capture of Arnim Zola during a raid on a train in the Alps. It was on this mission that Bucky Barnes was lost and presumed dead.
They also participated in attacking Johann Schmidt's last base along with other U.S. forces led by Colonel Chester Phillips. The battle was eventually won. However, despite Schmidt's apparent death and foiled plans, Captain America was missing in action after crashing Schmidt's plane to save the mainland United States.
