Alpha Team was the first Sentinel team. They appear in Resistance and are also mentioned in the Cooperative Intel in Resistance 2.
History[]
Alpha Team was formed in January 1951 and were dispatched to recover an atomic bomb from Chimera-occupied Fort Anchorage, in which their mission was dubbed "maiden voyage of the Sentinels."[1] Alpha managed to recover the bomb but were taken aboard a Chimeran warship. Alpha then planned on disposing the bomb by dropping off the airship and allowing the SRPA to recover it. However, their leader Lieutenant Murphy disobeyed the mission and instead tricked his men to bail out of the airship in a tank while he stayed on board and detonated the bomb. Although the bomb was lost, Murphy's actions had the positive side effect of destroying the land-bridge connecting from Russia to Alaska, and thereby preventing the Chimera from invading North America by land.[2]
After 1951, the original surviving Sentinels of Alpha Team were reassigned: Hank Leavitt and Benjamin Warner were transferred to Echo Team, and Joseph Capelli in Bravo Team. On December 8, 1952, Alpha Team were all killed when they attempted to infiltrate an enemy command post in Bend Oregon.[3]
