Mustang Platoon (マスタング プラトーン Masutangu puratōn?) is the main Kataphrakt platoon of the ALDNOAH.ZERO television series. It is one of many Kataphrakt platoons of the United Forces of Earth.
History[]
The original members were Yuki Kaizuka (Mustang Leader), Inko Amifumi (Mustang-11), Inaho Kaizuka (Mustang-22) and two unnamed pilots designated as Mustang-33 and Mustang-44. All piloted a KG-7 Areion with the exception of Inaho, who used a KG-6 Sleipnir.
The platoon was formed when Countess Femieanne attacks the UES Wadatsumi at Tanegashima. They fight against her along with Friesian Platoon, whom are also deployed to defend the ship. Friesian Platoon is wiped out leaving Mustang Platoon to fight the Hellas alone before Slaine Troyard arrives in a Sky Carrier. With Slaine's help, they defeat the Hellas.
