Squad
From Halopedia, the Halo Wiki
A squad is a military unit used by the UNSC Marine Corps in the organisation of its combat personnel. In the UNSC Marine Corps, a squad can consist of anywhere between eight to thirteen members[1][2], and can be further divided into Fireteams for combat operations.

[edit] Composition
The UNSC Marine Corps does follow the general structure used by the 20th and 21st Century US Marine Corps, although exact numbers differ. Normally, a squad is composed of three Fireteams of four or five Marines under the command of a non-commissioned officer, usually a Corporal. A Sergeant[3] commands the squad as a whole.
The UNSC may use a smaller system for Special Forces groups[4] such as the ODST and Naval Special Warfare units.
Squads within a platoon are numbered i.e. First Squad, Second Squad, and so forth, with a Platoon normally composed of at least two Squads, often three or four.
