In military terminology, a squad is a sub-subunit led by a non-commissioned officer that is subordinate to an infantry platoon. In countries following the British Army tradition (Australian Army, Canadian Army, and others), this organization is referred to as a section. In most armies, a squad consists of eight to fourteen soldiers, and may be further subdivided into fireteams.
The equivalent to squad is the Gruppe, a sub-unit of 8 to 12 soldiers, in the German Bundeswehr, Austrian Bundesheer and Swiss Army.
Standard NATO symbol – squad (7 or 8 – 12 soldiers) – in NATO armed forces:
Historically, a "squad" in the US Army was a sub-unit of a section, consisting of from as few as two soldiers to as many as 12, and was primarily used for drill and administrative purposes (e.g., billeting, messing, working parties, etc.). The smallest tactical sub-unit being the section, which was also known as a half-platoon (the platoon itself being a half company).
In computer and video gaming, a clan, guild or faction is an organized group of players that regularly play together in one or more multiplayer games. These games range from groups of a few friends to 4000-person organizations, with a broad range of structures, goals and members. The lifespan of a clan also varies considerably, from a few weeks to over a decade. Numerous clans exist for nearly every online game available today, notably in first-person shooters, massively multiplayer games, role-playing video games, and strategy games. There are also meta-groups that span a wide variety of games.
It is commonly argued that a "clan" or "guild" becomes like a family, and that all opinions and decisions represent each single member in the "clan" or "guild". Clans also tend to have a "try outs" initiation system established to weed out those who might not share common interest. A variety of methodical initiations are user-generated challenges ranging from jump courses, in-game achievement hunting.
Squad is a tactical first-person shooter video game being developed by Offworld Industries. It is set to be self-published through Steam and is a spiritual successor to the multi-award winning Project Reality modification for Battlefield 2. Squad is available on Steam Early Access starting December 15, 2015.
The goal of Squad is to create a "tactical first person shooter built around teamwork and cooperation".
The game features infantry combat and will be expanded to include various land vehicles and rotorcraft with fixed-wing aircraft a likely addition.
Development of Squad was announced in October 2014 when Project Reality developer Sniperdog (known as Merlin on the Squad forums) made a post on the Project Reality forums. The announcement carried the news that the team of fifteen was making a spiritual successor to Project Reality on Epic Games' Unreal Engine 4.
After Squad's announcement, select YouTubers and trusted community members from Project Reality were given Closed Pre-Alpha Access. They were used as Offworld's testing team for Squad. Game servers were only run for select media and testing events.
