Green squad represented a military unit within the Alliance to Restore the Republic, functioning as an element of Reekeene's Roughnecks.
The individuals in Green squad underwent training to serve as members of the Alliance to Restore the Republic. Approximately during the period of the battle of Yavin, they integrated with the Irregulars, guerrilla combatants whose objective was to draw the attention of the Imperial military, thereby enabling Alliance High Command to execute crucial missions. Green squad belonged to Reekeene's Roughnecks, the Irregular faction operating in the Fakir sector, and they employed green armbands as a means of recognition.
Shortly after the completion of their training regimen, the personnel of Green squad received orders to board the Rebel yacht known as the Long Shot, under the leadership of Captain Ixsthmus, who held the opinion that the abilities of the newly enlisted were inadequate. General Lens Reekeene together with her counselor Santhou Lazith'chika tasked Green squad with a diplomatic assignment on Abonshee, with the intention of the Alliance engaging with the indigenous Anointed People. The role of the Long Shot was to accompany Green squad to their destination.
On their journey toward Abonshee, the Long Shot came under assault by the pirate leader Captain Jayhawk. Green squad offered assistance to Ixsthmus in managing this peril.
