Alpha Squad
From Gears of War
Alpha Squad is a COG infantry unit that has currently been disbanded.
Alpha Squad was an eight member squad of Gears[1], from the Coalition of Ordered Governments, who were assigned to deploy the Sonic Resonator. This device was intended to give out a sonic pulse that would map the locust tunnels, so that the data could be used for the Lightmass Bomb. However, it malfunctioned, and the data was incomplete. This squad's status has been disbanded, since half of the members were killed, while the other two were reassigned to Delta Squad.
Delta Squad were assigned to find Alpha and signal for Evac by King Raven helicopters. Delta Squad stumbled across a group of dead COG soldiers, originally thought to be Alpha, outside the House of Sovereigns. Further into the House of Sovereigns Delta met up with Cole who was single-handedly holding off a group of Drones. Due to the loss of Anthony Carmine, Cole Joined with Delta Squad to take his place and help rescue Alpha. After killing Seeders Alpha got a clear radio signal to Delta notifying them of Troika machineguns on top of the House of Sovereigns that were pinning them down outside the Tomb of the Unknowns.

[edit] Known Members
[edit] Augustus 'The Cole Train' Cole
Current Status: Reassigned
(Pictured Middle Left.) Cole is an adrenaline junkie and former professional Thrashball player. He craves action and prefers to take the most direct path to the Locust Horde in any situation. What he lacks in finesse he makes up for in raw energy Cole and Damon Baird have served together for years. Marcus, Dom, and Kim save him shortly after the death of Anthony Carmine. Cole is reassigned to Delta Squad when every member of Alpha dies besides Baird and himself.
[edit] Damon Baird
Current Status: Reassigned
Despite being a reluctant and cynical soldier, Baird excels in military life thanks to his noticeable intelligence. Baird is perfectly capable of being a successful officer, but has never been promoted due to his poor attitude, short temper, and disrespect for authority. Augustus Cole and Baird have served together for years. Baird is among the three Alpha Squad members that are still alive when Delta Squad arrives to help, and he is the only one to survive. Soon after, Baird is reassigned to Delta Squad with Cole.
