"Ever Watchful" 3rd Squad (Infantry/Rifleman), Alpha Platoon, 1st Cochrane Company

"Fair-play" 4th Squad (Infantry/Rifleman), Alpha Platoon, 1st Cochrane Company

Patch: a book with 'rules' written on it, crossed out.

Motto: All is fair in love and war

Beta Platoon

"Father to All" 1st Squad (Infantry/Rifleman), Beta Platoon, 1st Cochrane Company

This squad has one of the highest Sergeant rates in the entire Division, nearly every member is at least a buck sergeant. Due to that, it also has men of the highest age in the Division.

Motto: Savage is he that saves himself

"Starlight" 2nd Squad (Infantry/Rifleman), Beta Platoon, 1st Cochrane Company

The SquadXO actually named this squad, as he is light-sensitive and never goes into open sunlight without his BDU or other appropriate clothing. Their first squad meeting was held after sunset on Earth, where they generally agreed upon the name Starlight

Patch: A Field of Stars

Motto: By the light of the moon, we come.

"Nightfall" 3rd Squad (Infantry/Rifleman), Beta Platoon, 1st Cochrane Company

Named by a woman whose race comes from a very dark planet, with a slow rotation. She (and likewise, her squad) operates best in the dark, and it is only the stupid MCO that doesn't let them have their head come Nightfall.

Patch: A Starscape

Motto: The Night Always Comes.

"For Love of Peace" 4th Squad (Infantry/Rifleman), Beta Platoon, 1st Cochrane Company

The name is a joke, the Squad CO originally chose the name 'Flop' as his squad name, but nearly every member of the squad said No. He changed the name, so that at least the initials would be F.L.O.P.

Patch: A picture of a world, with F.L.O.P And the Motto revolving around it.

Motto: Stand Fast!
