"I've given you evidence that points that Blue Team's roster no longer has Master Chief listed by the time of Ghosts of Onyx."
No, what you gave me is something from Halopedian that has no canon value. Just because some person went online and posted that on the page does not mean that it is correct. Hell, the Halopedian says that Onyx was destroyed, which in fact only the crust of the planet was removed, revealing the true Onyx.
A word to the wise, don't ever cite Halopedian. If you want to prove a point, use quotes from the books as your source.
A hint, a squad roster reflects who they have with them. The squad leader MUST be with the squad. Therefore, in Ghosts of Onyx, John-117 cannot be officially on blue team's roster as squad leader.
So, as described by somebody who did JROTC-ROTC, and knows military, for John to be listed as a member of blue team post halo 2 opening cutscene means they won't be acting as a military would.
For example, is Kaiden in ME2 considered part of Shepard's squad? Nope. Is Cole train in Gears 2 considered part of delta squad prior to meeting up? Nope.
In short, blue team is indeed Fred's team now.
Edit: Besides, if he was listed as part of blue team, that'd clutter the roster with useless information (as he isn't around).
edit2: If wanted, I can ask somebody who actually was in the US military about this stuff.
1)Except Blue Team is the designation of Master Chief's squad regardless of who is in it. So technically the Blue Teams are different from eachother, just like how Master Chief designated the S-IIs that went to Reach as Red Team, while Red Team already/still exists. Another thing, how exactly is the UNSC supposed to know that Fred outranks MC? As far as the UNSC is concered MC is still the leader of the SPARTANs. If Blue Team and Master Chief return, Fred would be recognized as the rank he was given by Kurt, and MC would almost without a doubt be promoted.
Also, your ME analogy is horrible. Shepard was actually dead, and then was part of an entirely different orginization from the Alliance. Kaiden/Ashely was also actually reassigned aswell, unlike Chief and the rest of Blue who were separated due to circumstances and not squad reassignement.
