TOW, Tester of Weapons, are Private squads that ROW, Reconstruction of Weapons, use to test the Weapons ROW makes, but they share the Same Public owner, a nod to the fact that they are basically ROW, just on field.

Creation
TOW wasn't created just like that, it took Leo Luther and his son, Lucas, Nine years to convince the UNSC to allow them to create it, asking for Soilders and a few Spartans to join one squad so they could test the Weapons they created and customized. The UNSC ageed on March 23rd, 2556, a Month after Lucas took Control of ROW. Some say Lucas threatened the UNSC, after all, he was a Luthor, but the People didn't matter to Lucas, he was here to make money, Build the Luthor empire.

Alpha platoon
This platoon was the first squad, the platoon  that Lucas demanded, hand picked fighters, all with at least 5 years in combat, and found 32 people he wanted to join the Alpha platoon, 2 of those being Spartans, 15 were ODSTs, and the Rest were Marines who had fought in the Human-Covenant war. The squad was taken away for advanced Training, Medical Check overs, to make sure they would be fit in combat and not Die when the UNSC borrowed them. The platoon was nicknamed "Luthor Dogs" by those who hated the Luthors, but hated Lucas the most.

By 2564, the platoon suffered only 2 KIA, 1 too wounded to continue Active Service. The platoon was Refused medals as being classed a PMC by UNSC, but Lucas tried to bargin with them to give them medals, the platoon  was losing Morale, and Lucas thought that giving them Shiney things would raise Morale of the squad.

The UNSC agreed, quite quickly for people to believe, so the public thought that Lucas had Bribed most of the Board, but what they couldn't prove went ignored by the Officals, and Alpha platoon Became one of the most well known platoons, but still known to everyone by the nickname "Luthor Dogs."

Creation of Smaller Squads
In 2564, after a quick disscussion (And a Bribe), Lucas Luthor created smaller squads to test out other products of the Growing ROW. Bravo Squad was to test out rifles that ROW had made, but soon was dropped as the Rifles needed actual Snipers, not some rejects that Lucas' board hired. Charile Squad was the Same, but in Zero-gee combat, soon dropped for lack of Zerogee Combat. By the Time Lionel Luthor took over, 3 Squads remained, as well as the Orignal Alpha Platoon. Delta, Foxtrot and Sierra. Delta took the Job of Testing the Rifles and Grenades, Foxtrot Transport and Ships, and Sierra Hogs and the Like. The Squads and Platoon had the Nick name of "Luthor Pests" no matter how much help they gave the UNSC, they would always be called that.
