White Squad
White Squad is the most experienced unit within Hillary's Hunters, seeing active duty almost endlessly since Beachhead 29 was captured and fighting fights that are usually the battlegrounds of the Tempestus Scions, not line infantry. Their experience has led them to be considered Lieutenant Daniel Hillary, MI's first choice scouting or vanguard unit.
Structure
White squad is organised along the same standard lines of any Kuati Mobile Infantry squad, with a Sergeant as its leader and a Corporal as it's second in command. The rest of the squad are divided into two fire teams, each lead by a lance-corporal and each taking a different weapon speciality - heavy weaponry, such as missile launchers, or special weaponry, such as flamers.

History
As mentioned earlier, White squad first saw active duty when the 3rd Kuati Mobile Infantry Regiment landed on Beachhead 29 on Kulak and the infantry had to repel wave after wave of greenskins, whislt armour and materiel were ferried down from orbitign ships. They didn't stand out from their peers at this point, simply having performed as expected. It wasn't until the highly classified campaign that took place on Mean Green, that the squad made a name for itself
Not much is known about what happened on Mean Green, in fact no-one knows what the planet's actual name or location was, but what is known is that the Imperium landed a large, multi-regiment force on the planet and was soon having to perform emergency evacuations after whatever force they came across started causing unheard of damage to the units deployed. It was during this evacuation that the transport that was due to collect the last units of the 3rd Kuati Regiment was shot down. Along with elements from across the regiment, White squad were stranded and suddenly under attack.
Rallying the forces under his leadership, the sergeant of White Squad took command and began a guerilla campaign that would last months. During this time, they were able to gain an accurate appraisal of the enemy's forces and disposition, and able to use this data to pinpoint locations for orbital bombardment. Operating under set procedures, they adopted the codename Myrmidons, named after sea creatures from one of the worlds in the Kuati Confederation whose natural abiltiies enable them to camoflage with the sea renderign them almost invisible. Soon though, and Inquisitor who had been secretly embedded into the force comamnd structure revealed themselves and declared that the operation was over. They were going to decree Exterminatus on the world and the ground forces will be given one chance to evacuate- a rare reward in light of the intelligence they had gleaned.
Pickup was successful and the planet was destroyed. White Squad and those who survived has the details of the operation mindlocked or erased from their mind and are sworn to silence on the matter of Mean Green, under then penalty of liquidation.
