squadmates

Your unit's members

Squadmates are the members of one's squad—fellow soldiers in a military unit, teammates in a video game, or companions in any small group working together.

The term implies shared experience and mutual reliance: My squadmates covered me while I advanced.

Common in military and gaming contexts, where squad-based cooperation is central to success.
