Soldiers in a large army may feel rather unimportant being identified as a member of the 103rd Orbital Magic Fighter Group or the 486th Combined Rapid Assault Platoon or whatever. To make themselves feel more distinct, they or their commanders come up with a more colorful nickname for The Squad. This might just remain a private joke, or it may eventually come into use among the higher-ups. In some cases, the name may be officially attached to the squad. Standard issue for any regiment with a particularly fearsome reputation. Compare Nom de Guerre for individual combat nicknames. This has been Truth in Television since at least the days of the The Roman Empire. |

Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) used the Team suffix from Sonic Heroes to name a three-man team of heroes. Beyond Team Dark (which is the only Sega-canon group formed), there was Team Rose (Amy Rose, Cream and Cheese, and Blaze the Cat), Team Hooligan (Nack the Weasel, Bean the Dynamite Duck and Bark the Polar Bear), Team Fighters (Sonic, Tails and Amy) and Team Freedom (Rotor, Cream and Cheese, Big, Heavy and Bomb) | |

According to some of Starcraft's fluff, Jim Raynor once belonged to the 321 Colonial Ranger Battalion, Heaven's Devils (probably a sort of reversal on the Hells Angels' name). The back cover of the art book is the fancy version of their unit emblem, and features The Grim Reaper holding a a machine gun in one hand, and a hammer in the other. Their name came from a POW saying "They fell from the heavens, and fought like hell to free the Confederate POWs held deep inside KM territory. No one else could have done it. No one else did. That's how the Heaven's Devils earned their name". According to the book Heaven's Devils, young Raynor had his Powered Armor painted black with a skull on the visor. In Starcraft II, he still wears it to battle. Mercenary squads are beefed-up versions of units, from War Pigs and Devil Dogs for Marines and Firebats to Hel's Angels and Siege Breakers for Vikings and Siege Tanks. The Thor doesn't get one until the sequel, which breaks away from the Norse Mythology by being called the Blackhammer. Emperor Mengsk's Praetorian Guard at his palace on Korhal in Heart of the Swarm are known as the Sons of Korhal (in reference to his former revolutionary movement), and include such sub-units as the Prometheus Company firebats, Sky Fury and Night Wing fighter squadrons, and Bulwark Company goliaths. In the manual for the original game, the blandly-named Confederate military units all have more impressive-sounding nicknames, e.g. the "Blood Hawks" for Alpha Squadron and the "Death's Head Legion" for Omega Squadron. |

A staple in the Ace Combat series. Practically every Player Character will be part of a named squadron with a distinct name, and the enemy squadrons often get a nickname or two: The Mercenary Scarface Force (officially: 92nd Special Tactical Fighter Squadron) in Air Combat, Ace Combat 2, and Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy. The Mobius Squadron, alias "the Ribbons" (officially: 118th Tactical Fighter Wing), and their arch-nemesis the Yellow Squadron, alias Aquila Squadron (officially: 156th Tactical Fighter Wing), in Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies. The Wardog Squadron, alias the Demons/Ghosts of Razgriz (officially: 108th Tactical Fighter Squadron), in Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War). The Galm Team (officially: 66th Air Force Unit of the 6th Air Division) in Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War. Zero also takes the cake for featuring eleven named enemy ace squadrons. The Gryphus Squadron (officially: 207th Tactical Fighter Squadron) in Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception. The Garuda Team (officially: 28th Fighter Squadron) in Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation. The player character, Trigger is assigned to three different squadrons over the course of Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown. First, the 508th "Mage" Squadron assigned to the IUN's Peacekeeping Forces. Other Squadrons that accompany Mage Squadron include Golem Squadron, Gargoyle Squadron, and Skeleton Squadron. Second, the 444th "Spare" Squadron, which consists entirely of convicted criminals, where they live under prison-like conditions and as the name implies, are treated as expendable pawns by their superiors. Last is the 124th "Strider" Squadron, which with the 122nd "Cyclops" Squadron, they make up the Air Forces of an elite division of the Osean Military known as the LRSSG (Long Range Strategic Strike Group). |

In Star Wars: Allegiance, the five defecting-but-still-Imperial stormtroopers liberate a spaceport from corrupt officials. The grateful natives want to know who they are, and the leader of the stormtroopers, who hadn't intended to call attention to them, panics and says, "Mostly, we're known as the Hand of Judgment," and instantly regrets picking the name. As soon as they're alone, the other four stormtroopers mock him vigorously. | |

Macross has several: First and foremost, the famous Skull Squadron, the most elite Valkyrie pilots of the UN Wars and the Zentraedi War. Macross M3 has Max's and Miria's personal squad, the Dancing Skulls. Macross 7 had Sound Force, the rather unique squadron made up of members of the band Fire Bomber. 7 also had the Jamming Birds, an almost completely unsuccessful attempt to replicate Sound Force. A more conventional squadron from 7 was Diamond Force, made up of the most elite military pilots on the 7th Fleet. Over the course of the series it loses some members, the survivors of which are re-organized into Emerald Force. Macross Frontier has another Skull Squadron (named in honor of the original). Macross Delta has Delta Squadron and the Walkure (who are a cross between a combat unit and an Idol Singer group, using songs in combat rather like Sound Force did). There are apparently Alpha, Beta, etc. Squadrons as well but so far they haven't been relevant. |

Starship Troopers: Mobile Infantry units usually have Alliterative Name nicknames, based on the commanding officer. Protagonist Juan Rico is assigned to Lieutenant Rasczak's "Rasczak's Roughnecks"; other units with similar names are mentioned, like "Anton's Apaches" and "Smith's Centaurs". After Rasczak dies early in the novel, the men decide to rename the unit "Jelly's Jaguars" after acting C.O. Sgt. "Jelly" Jelal, but Jelal vetoes it—they remain the "Roughnecks" to the end of the book when Rico takes command, and they become Rico's Roughnecks. |

Star Wars gives us squadron names such as Rogue Squadron, Wraith Squadron, Twin Suns Squadron, the Tierfon Yellow Aces, or the Screaming Wookiee Squadron. The Rebel Alliance seems to eschew numerical designations altogether, and the most generic they get are color-based names (Red Group, Gold Squadron) for ad-hoc starfighter organizations. (In contrast, most individual pilots have numeric callsigns such as Rogue Two or Red Five instead of a Nom de Guerre.) The Empire usually avoids this, or at least we don't hear about it very often, but the 501st Legion Division is commonly known as Vader's Fist. The 181st squadron was called the One-Eighty-Worst until Fel shaped it up, at which point it was usually called "One-Eighty-First" in respectful tones, by Imperial and Rebel pilots alike. | |

One trailer for Mass Effect 2 refers to Shepard's team as the Dirty Dozen, although no one in-story ever invokes this. They probably don't have a squad nickname because saying "Shepard's Team" is scarier than anything else you can make up. | |

During the mission to the Citadel Archives in Mass Effect 3: Citadel, the two fireteams that aren't with Shepard dub themselves Team Mako and Team Hammerhead after the series' two iconic combat vehicles. They then proceed to rib each other on the strengths and weaknesses of their respective namesakes. Javik later declares himself Team Prothean, and would like to let the other two fireteams know that he has a higher bodycount than both combined. | |

Gundam: The Black Tri-Stars from Mobile Suit Gundam may count, though they are a bit small for a squad. UC Gundam in general tends to arrange Mobile Suits in squads of three. See also the White Dingo team in Rise from the Ashes. Gundam ZZ's Gundam Team of three Gundams, the golden Hyaku Shiki and a giant hoverbike. F91 has Zabine Chareux's Black Vanguard squadron. Crossbone had the Jupiter Empire's Death Gale squadron, and later the ThouCus ("Thousand Custom") team. Victory has the ill-fated, all-female Shrike Team. Turn A has the militia's Jalopy Team, lead by Joseph, and Gavan Gooney's "Suicide Squad" (which is not actually a Meaningful Name). Also maybe, Phantom Pain from Gundam SEED Destiny (their official designation is "81st Autonomous Mobile Group"). In Gundam AGE, the Diva's MS squad is named after the leader—Woolf and Seric, respectively. On the enemy side we have the Magicians 8 in Gen 2 and the Phantom Three in Kio's time. |

Several squads in Girls' Frontline have their own nicknames: AR Team, comprised of M4A1, M16A1, ST AR-15, and M4 SOPMODII, with Colt RO635 joining later on. While AR officially stands for "Anti-Rain" (the significance of this isn't explained yet), it also references the fact that all members use guns based on the AR platform. Squad 404, taking their name from Common HTTP Status Code. They are a group of covert specialists who wipe out any traces of their existence, up to wiping out the memories of other Dolls they encounter. Task Force DEFY, "those who dare defy destiny". Originally called the "Wolfpack" after the Wolfpack Initiative that commissioned them (and their Animal Motifs), the squad was renamed after their creator's philosophy: that a Doll will become closer to humanity by giving them "the right to defy". It is implied that RPK-16's status as the only T-Doll who openly betrayed her comrades is connected to this. RO635's previous squad is called Palette Team, likely alluding to the vibrant colors present on each members' uniform. |

Pumpkin Scissors: Imperial Army State Section III, a.k.a. "Pumpkin Scissors". Rather subversive, seeing as they're a war relief unit rather than a combat force, not to mention how silly it sounds. Squad leader LT Alice Malvin, who came up with the name, pictures it as a metaphor of the unit acting as a pair of scissors to cut through the thick pumpkin rind-like corruption in the Empire. | |

Warhammer 40,000: The original twenty Space Marine legions started with mere numerical designations like the Roman Legions of old, but quickly picked up a more evocative name as they participated in the Great Crusade, then usually another name after the legion's Primarch was returned to them. For example, Legion XIII was known as "The Warborn" until they were reunited with Roboute Guilliman, after which they became known as "The Ultramarines." Meanwhile, Legion XVI was known as the "Luna Wolves" for most of the Crusade, were renamed the "Sons of Horus" in honor of their leader's victories, but then after their defeat in the Horus Heresy, their new leader Abaddon rebranded them as the "Black Legion" to break from their past failures. Individual Imperial Guard regiments can pick up names like this. The Tanith 1st Reconnaisance Regiment is better known as the "Tanith First-And-Only," or simply as "Gaunt's Ghosts" after their commander, while the 13th Penal Legion is infamous as Colonel Schaeffer's "Last Chancers." Some Imperial worlds also become so famous for their soldiers that their troops get a descriptive name - Cadian Shock Troopers, Mordian Iron Guard, the Death Korps of Krieg - regardless of whatever an individual regiment from that world specializes in. |

The 502nd is known as the "Brave Witches," and goes further with "Break Witches" as an extension of the original nickname due to their penchant for destroying Striker Units. The 503rd is called the "Typhoon Witches"; the 504th "Ardor Witches"; the 505th "Mirage Witches"; the 506th "Noble Witches"; the 507th "Silent Witches"; the 508th "Mighty Witches"...plus "Glorious Witches" for HMW, "Storm Witches" for the Afrikacorps, and "Shinigami" for Fuso's 42nd Joint Fighter Corps. | |

Macross 7 had Sound Force, the rather unique squadron made up of members of the band Fire Bomber. 7 also had the Jamming Birds, an almost completely unsuccessful attempt to replicate Sound Force. A more conventional squadron from 7 was Diamond Force, made up of the most elite military pilots on the 7th Fleet. Over the course of the series it loses some members, the survivors of which are re-organized into Emerald Force. |

In the Anita Blake book series, the police squad the titular character works with is the Regional Preternatural Investigation Team (RPIT), nicknamed "Rip It" or simply "The Spook Squad". | |

Star Wars Legends: Star Wars gives us squadron names such as Rogue Squadron, Wraith Squadron, Twin Suns Squadron, the Tierfon Yellow Aces, or the Screaming Wookiee Squadron. The Rebel Alliance seems to eschew numerical designations altogether, and the most generic they get are color-based names (Red Group, Gold Squadron) for ad-hoc starfighter organizations. (In contrast, most individual pilots have numeric callsigns such as Rogue Two or Red Five instead of a Nom de Guerre.) The Empire usually avoids this, or at least we don't hear about it very often, but the 501st Legion Division is commonly known as Vader's Fist. The 181st squadron was called the One-Eighty-Worst until Fel shaped it up, at which point it was usually called "One-Eighty-First" in respectful tones, by Imperial and Rebel pilots alike. The Wraiths are a curious example. As a fighter squadron, "Wraith Squadron" is their official title, but after their transfer to Intelligence, they don't appear to have an official name (Intelligence assets being much less flashy than fighters, after all) but are always and only referred to as "the Wraiths" because of their exploits. In Star Wars: Allegiance, the five defecting-but-still-Imperial stormtroopers liberate a spaceport from corrupt officials. The grateful natives want to know who they are, and the leader of the stormtroopers, who hadn't intended to call attention to them, panics and says, "Mostly, we're known as the Hand of Judgment," and instantly regrets picking the name. As soon as they're alone, the other four stormtroopers mock him vigorously. Speaking of the 501st, it's a Shout-Out from Lucasfilm to one of their most devoted groups of fans: an entire regiment (literally) of Cosplayers who show up in Imperial armor or uniform. As for the in-canon 501st, they're the ones Vader leads in the Jedi Temple massacre, the attack on the Tantive IV, and the assault on Hoth. |

Star Control has the Black Spathi Squadron who painted their ships black and performed "Acts of daring and near-suicidal heroism." This is from the race whose hat is Dirty Coward. | |

The Black Tri-Stars from Mobile Suit Gundam may count, though they are a bit small for a squad. UC Gundam in general tends to arrange Mobile Suits in squads of three. See also the White Dingo team in Rise from the Ashes. |

In Spec Ops: The Line, the 33rd Infantry Battalion is more commonly known as the Damned 33rd due to their tendency to perform Suicide Missions and always come back alive despite that. | |

The Sidemen usually broke up into two teams of sorts in Grand Theft Auto Online races involving supercars; the Adder Gang (comprised of KSI, wroetoshaw, TBJZL, and Vikkstar123 driving the Truffade Adder, the car with the highest top speed in the game) and the Zentorno Gang/"Zentorbros" (comprised of Behzinga, Miniminter, and Zerkaa driving the Pegassi Zentorno, then the second-fastest-accelerating car in the game* behind the Coil Voltic that has better handling than the Adder). They eventually stopped doing this as more cars were added to the game. | |

The player character, Trigger is assigned to three different squadrons over the course of Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown. First, the 508th "Mage" Squadron assigned to the IUN's Peacekeeping Forces. Other Squadrons that accompany Mage Squadron include Golem Squadron, Gargoyle Squadron, and Skeleton Squadron. Second, the 444th "Spare" Squadron, which consists entirely of convicted criminals, where they live under prison-like conditions and as the name implies, are treated as expendable pawns by their superiors. Last is the 124th "Strider" Squadron, which with the 122nd "Cyclops" Squadron, they make up the Air Forces of an elite division of the Osean Military known as the LRSSG (Long Range Strategic Strike Group). |
