History
Gentry Team is credited for being one of the few teams to survive and operate throughout not only the insurrection, but the great war and it's eventual cleanup efforts. Comprised of S-I's and ODST's,Gentry team started out as an Office of Naval Intelligence Naval Special Warfare team, tasked with combating the Insurrection. Utilizing a variety of methods, mostly concerning counter-insurgency operations, assassinations, and eliminating high value targets.

As the Human-Covenant war began and progressed Gentry team was disbanded and wouldn't be started up again until 2547, near the height of the great war. It would then be comprised of S-II's, mostly class II's, and take on a variety of tasks such as Raids, intelligence defense, force-recon, and shock-and-awe procedures.

At this point in the war, due to the need for more and more spartans in the field, Gentry team had split into two three-man teams; Gentry Blue(which participated in the battles of Reach, and Earth), and Gentry Red(which participated in The first And second battles of Yggdrasil.)

2553-2574
After the supposed death of Gareth-113, Gentry Team was replaced completely with S-III Headhunters and a single S-II class II serviceman. No longer used solely for the betterment of the UNSC, this new Gentry Team was harsher and prone to in-team fighting due to the solo mentalities that they had all recieved as headhunters.

By far the largest team, and once again commanded by Gareth-113, this Gentry Team, Comprised of Spartan-III Zeta personel, would be more akin to the headhunter comprised team of '53.
