After the mission New Alexandria, Jun asks Carter if it's true that Gauntlet, Red, and Echo Teams are assigned to civilian evac ops.
Carter retorts saying those are senior level communique. Kat responds, "I hear what I hear. Point is why put Spartans on defensive deployment."
No wait. Who are Gauntlet and Echo Teams? Are they Spartan IIs? Unlikely, as Spartan II squads (generally) had color designations (Blue, Red, Green, Gray etc). I'm assuming they are other Spartan IIIs on the planet, but that is speculation.
But what struck me was Red team. This is clearly a Spartan II team. There's no way Bungie couldn't have realized that there was a Spartan II team if they named a Spartan III team Red Team.
Red Team wasn't deployed onto Reach until August 30, and this cutscene takes place on August 23.
Any explanations here guys? This doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Who are these teams, and why is Red among them?
