Echo Team was a Sentinel unit of the SRPA and appears in Resistance 2.
History[]
Echo Team started off doing incredibly well prior to the Chimeran invasion of the United States on May 15, 1953, and completing operations such as Operation Iron Hand. But on December 21, 1952 Echo's leader Lt. Hank Leavitt was killed by a Stalker in North Carolina, in which Nathan Hale succeeded him.[1]
Echo later bared the brunt of the Chimeran invasion when the Chimera attacked SRPA 3 in San Francisco.[2] After escaping San Francisco, Echo were then tasked with infiltrating and destroying a damaged Chimeran battleship over the town of Orick. After boarding the vessel, Echo discovered that the Chimeran fleet intended to breach the Liberty Defense Perimeter through Twin Falls, Idaho.[3] After destroying the warship, Echo traveled to Twin Fall and activated the town's two defense towers resulting in the destruction of three other Chimeran warships and defeating a Mother spinner, which almost killed Joseph Capelli.[4] However, Echo was too late in preventing several Chimeran ships including Daedalus' flagship from breaching the LDP and subsequently activating a Chimeran tower in Bryce Canyon.[5]
Echo extracted Dr. Fyodor Malikov from Station Genesis and tried to shut down the hub tower in Chicago. But they only discovered that the tower was being remotely activated by Daedalus from Iceland.[6] Echo traveled to Holar, Iceland in an attempt to assassinate the Chimeran creature. But the operation failed in which Echo members Benjamin Warner and Aaron Hawthorne were killed by Daedalus, and Hale was mortally wounded but saved in time by Capelli.[7]
On June 26, the remnants of Echo Team along with Major Richard Blake and X-Ray Squad participated in Operation Black Eden; in which they managed to set a fission bomb onto Daedalus' flagship and destroyed the entire Chimeran fleet over the Gulf of Mexico. Hale and Capelli were the only participants to survive the entire operation. Tragically, however, Hale succumbed to the Chimeran virus and was executed by Capelli.[8]
Following Operation Black Eden, Capelli was dishonorably discharged from SRPA for killing Hale, thus putting an end to Echo Team.[9]
