Team Rose

"And then there's Team Rose.. they consider themselves family to each other. During the Fall of Reach, they lost one of their members, Yuzuru. They were broken down but Rose Squadron carried on and did not let his death be in vain."

- An unknown UNSC Navy Commander on Team Rose

Team Rose, nicknamed as Rose Squadron by its members in honour of an UNSC Air Force squadron and called Fireteam Rose by the UNSC Naval Command, was originally part of SPARTAN-III Alpha Company. It is a fireteam comprised of SPARTAN-III supersoldiers and led by SPARTAN-II Jenkins-115. Rose Squadron is considered an elite team of SPARTANs under the UNSC Navy's Naval Special Warfare department later transferred to the Spartan Operations branch.

Members
The members of Team Rose were all close to each other as family. Although Jenkins never really admitted to them that he saw them as family, they all looked up at him as somewhat of a father-figure in a way.

After the death of Yuzuru and due to unknown reasons, Jenkins didn't accept any of the replacements for him.

Trivia

 * Kanade-A150's armour appearance is based on Kanade Tachibana from the Japanese anime Angels Beats!. How this is based is that her visor colour is a shade of yellow similar to the character's eye colour as well as her armour colour which is tan and hints of black, the same as the character's school uniform.
