expedition team

Organized exploration group

An expedition team is a group organized to undertake a journey or mission, typically involving exploration, research, or a challenging objective.

The term emphasizes coordinated effort toward a shared goal: The expedition team reached base camp after three days of hiking.

Members usually have specialized roles—navigation, medical support, documentation—that contribute to the collective enterprise.
