Flurry Troop is a strategic field detachment of UNSC Naval Special Warfare Group Six (NAVSPECWAR Six), attached to the UNSC Progressive Warfare Division (PROGWARDIV), UNSC Special Operations Command and the UNSC Navy. It would participate in UNSC special warfare operations during the Human-Covenant War and the following Memory Crisis.

Flurry Troop was commanded by a headquarters element consisting of troop commander CMDR Kawika Son, Commander (O-5) and troop senior enlisted SCPO Chandler Danial, Senior Chief Petty Officer (E-8), and underneath them, was comprised of three sixteen-man functional platoons, codenamed "Flurry One", "Flurry Two", and "Flurry Three".

During the Second Battle of Earth, Flurry Troop, led by Commander Son and SCPO Danial, would deploy to Cambridge, Massachusetts, a city in the former United States of America on the Eastern Seaboard, to reinforce a Marine reconnaissance element under attack in Cambridge and to defend the Harvard and MIT academic research laboratories in the area, which containing classified technologies pertaining to the UNSC Office of Naval Intelligence, including biological and chemical weapons of mass destruction (WMD). There, Flurry Troop would suffer substantial casualties, being overrun by superior and reinforced Jiralhanae forces while disorganized in the urban battlescape.

Later, Flurry would be reinforced by Ranger operators from Ranger 38/6 C, an airborne platoon led by CPT Kishi, Captain (O-3). UNSCSOCOM forces in Cambridge would struggle to reorganize and mount an effective defense, but Son would realize that the tactical situation was too asymmetrical; staying in Cambridge would only result in the death of all the UNSC special forces. Commander Son would hand command of Flurry Troop to SCPO Danial, and together with NAVSPECWAR sniper PO1 Katrina Woodbury, Petty Officer 1st Class (E-6), Son and Woodbury would stay behind, covering the NAVSPECWAR extraction and fighting a rear-guard action to ensure that their comrades could escape.

Woodbury would be mortally wounded by Hunters, and wounded, she would struggle to fend off surrounding Covenant forces before an overhead reconnaissance satellite would witness her capture by a Brute pack. A Brute Chieftain would tear off her fingers before decapitating Katrina.

Son would be wounded, but would manage to evade capture until they were reinforced by Sangheili special warfare soldiers from Covenant Special Operations.

Both Son and Woodbury would be awarded the Medal of Honor for staying behind and laying down their lives to ensure the successful UNSC retreat from Cambridge.
