Blood Gulch Outpost Alpha

Red Army Personnel Roster

3rd Squad, 1st Platoon, Delta Company, 103rd Regiment, 504th Division

Capt. Cameron Marks (001) the kind of dumb and kind of brilliant platoon leader of the small force stationed at Blood Gulch in the war against the Blues. He was originally part of Echo Company but when Donnings was transferred he was also transferred to look after him and make sure Donnings didn't kill anymore of his own men. He also teleports to other Outposts manned by Delta Company which include Sidewinder Outpost Bravo and Death Island Outpost Charlie and Battle Creek Outpost Zulu. He is an expert with the pistol and grenades and sometimes good with snipers.

Lt. Roger Donnings (008) was transferred from Death Island Outpost Sierra when he accidentally crashed a tank with several warthogs causing most of his ammo to explode killing a passenger on his tank. He was court-martialed but found not guilty because on close inspection the tank was malfunctioning. He is an expert with Covenant weapons and vehicles and a certified Banshee pilot.

First Sgt. Kendrick O'Harris (002) is the second in command of the squad despite the fact that Donnings is a Lieutenant. He likes reading and writing and keeps a secret dairy in his C: drive. He is the rocket launcher and Fuel Rod expert and uses Camouflage when assaulting the enemy. He was promoted to First Sergeant by Capt. Marks for bombing the shit out of a warthog and rendering it useless to the Blues. When one needs heavy artillery, radio O'Harris.

Master Sgt. Lane Peterson (003) is the Squad's radio man. He calls in artillery from O'Harris, Pelican evacuations and sets up dates for Mic with girl stationed in Battle Creek Outpost Zulu of 3rd Platoon. He is an expert with shotguns and God with the M41 LAAG. He is also deadly in close combat with his unexpected use of melee.

Sgt. Mike "Mic" Donald (004) is the communications specialist of the Reds and also the oldest NCO in the platoon. He is an expert with microphones, warthogs and tanks. He enjoys tampering with the com link system of the Blues and eavesdrops on their activity. For this reason when moving out Mic is usually point and when on stand down, the intelligence officer.

Corp. Matt "Donkey" Kennings (005) is the only corporal in the squad and the only certified to use a sniper rifle and a custom scope. People refer to him as Donkey (because they are too polite to call him "ass") due to his obvious stupidity and cocky ways. Despite his stupidity in combat Matt proves himself in times of need by actually hit the enemy, once in a while.

Pvt. Carl Sanders (006) is a green recruit from Reach. Fresh out of basic training, he is here to replace Richard Millers who died in an accident. No one on red is willing to talk of this matter. Sanders is good with the AR and running things over with the Tank. He enjoys talking to Liana in the Blue army over the com link tampered by Mic for personal and recon reasons. He is also expert with the flamethrower although rarely needed and never used.

Medic George "Doc" Turner (007) is the only medic on the squad. He is more a mechanic than an actual medic for there are rare fatalities and casualties so he tends the warthogs and tanks. He is referred to as Doc and has the Red Cross Symbol painted on his arm. He often calls base to patch through to his girlfriend on Reach who is finishing basic training.

Larry "Gomer" Pyle (1-03) is called Gomer because of his slight chubbiness and stupidity and unstable state of mind that all resemble the character from the Stanley Kubrick film "Full Metal Jacket" on the Vietnam War that only Liana, a classic movie freak would ever know.
