| − | '''Reliable Excavation Demolition''' is a holding corporation, allegedly specializing in "demolition operations". In reality, from behind a myriad of sub-fronts, it secretly controls half the world's governments, led by founder and CEO [[Redmond Mann]]. Beneath the convincing exterior of their bases of operations, computer racks, satellites, rockets, and missile installations can be found throughout these bases.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The other half of the world is just as secretly controlled by their rivals, the [[BLU|Builders League United]]. Each corporation administers its half of the world with a multi-disciplined army of paper pushers. For any problem lacking an obvious bureaucratic solution, [[Classes|mercenaries]] are contracted to address the situation through a massive application of force. Conflicts between the two companies began as land disputes between their leaders and have continued through hundreds of years to the present day.
| |
| − | | |
| − | RED and BLU share an intense rivalry, with nearly all encounters between the two quickly escalating into brutal and often fatal violence. Inter-company friendship is also strictly forbidden by mercenary contract. Despite this, the RED [[Demoman]] and the BLU [[Soldier]] became fast friends after meeting at a projectile weapons expo. Once this was brought to the attention of the Administrator however, she pitted them against each other in a deadly competition that promised a [[Gunboats|mysterious new item]] to the winner, twisting their former friendship into a bloody [[WAR! Update|war]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | RED favors a more rustic style of architecture than [[BLU]]. However, while its dress code is rather liberal in terms of clothing, it is required that employees adopt a red motif for easy identification. This could also be for identification by Sentry Guns.

| − | == Trivia ==
| |
| − | * The RED team is considered to be the "face" of ''Team Fortress 2'', appearing more prominently than [[BLU]] in box-art and promotional materials, as well as being portrayed as the "winning team" in the ''[[Meet the Team]]'' videos.
| |
| − | * Ironically, Reliable Excavation Demolition is always the defending team in Attack/Defend control point and Payload maps, although its name would suggest that they are the attackers rather than BLU.
| |
| − | ** However, their control points are usually linked to some sort of weapon, like [[Dustbowl|a rocket]] or [[Gravel Pit|a laser gun]], so this is somewhat justified.
