Whiskey-04

Formation
When war broke out with the Covenant, the Spartan-II supersoldiers were deployed against them. Among them was Sigma, then a team of 8 Spartans that had been secretly recruited by ONI from the 75 candidates not chosen by Dr. Catherine Halsey. These Spartans would be used as personal Agents and Assassins by ONI members such as Dr. Calvin Roe, who had them abducted and trained. They would be sent on crucial missions throughout the war to recover various important assets from warzones. However, they could not afford to leave battlefields where Spartans were desperately needed to take away data, so Whiskey-04 was formed.

A go-between for Sigma and ONI, Whiskey was an 8-man team made up of talented ODST's, who would be able to quickly move in and extract critical data or VIP's from the frontines and allow the Spartans to return to combat. The initial team was commanded by Major John Ackton, a veteran of many battles. Also in the Team was then Private Richard Mack Jr, the son of Lt Colonel Richard Mack Sr, who helped train Sigma alongside Roe. Mack Sr Had actually had his son placed in the team to keep him away from the frontlines.

Whiskey participated in many battles throughout the Human-Covenant War, more often than not fighting alongside the Spartans in open battle. However, Whiskey proved to be a far more formidable fighting unit than first thought, rarely losing a member. They had even saved the lives of the Spartans they were supporting from time to time.
