Dawn Squad

Dawn Squad (Dawn for short), also known as Spearhead is a COG infantry squad which was reformed weeks before the Lightmass Offensive after suffering heavy casualties against the Locust. Comprised mainly of new recruits to bolster numbers, Dawn Squad was headed by veteran gear Sgt. Briggs - a no-nonsense man with a spotless record.

Scouting Timgad Valley
Under orders from COG High Command, Sgt. Briggs led Dawn Squad through Timgad Valley to determine locust presence as well as the sites suitability for the proposed Lightmass Offensive that followed. Dawn, along with other squads, inspected the sinkhole that was to be the delivery point for the Lightmass Bomb to be used as part of the future attack. On the way back to their King Raven for evacuation, however, Dawn were attacked by Locust forces and suffered heavy casualties. Only Briggs made it out alive. The dead squad members were replaced by rookie gears Dean Quisling, Max Quisling, Gary Henderson and Josh Smalling - all of whom were childhood friends and new recruits.

Sgt. Briggs
A no nonsense veteran gear who has led Dawn Squad since its early formation shortly after E-day. A by-the-book man with a spotless record, Briggs is notoriously hard on new recruits and expects his orders to be followed to the letter. Lost his entire family on E-day with the exception of his aging mother and younger sister. His mother later died of illness, the trauma leaving his sister a mute.

Pvt. Dean Quisling
Youngest of the four Quisling brothers and up-and-coming young gear. Dean's been a member of Dawn Squad since his first foray into combat, serving as Briggs' second due to his level-head and good attitude. He commonly acts as the teams spotter and, on occasion, their point-man.

Pvt. Max Quisling
One of the four Quisling brothers and renowned sniper, despite his young age. He serves as Dawn Squads sniper and support. He's been a member of Dawn Squad since his foray into combat, were he killed a Locust drone single-handedly in close-quarters combat unarmed.
