'''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.
