These npcs keep talking over and over while you quest.
Jorgensen says: You orcs are gonna be sorry when I get out of here.
Messner says: I think I'm gonna go to Dalaran after this is over. Help'em get that city up and Floating.
Krakauer says: Wait'll these orcs get a load of us. Bravo Compagny BACK IN BUSINESS!
Krakauer says: So whatever happened to that hot little number in Stormwind? Lady Prestor was her name.
Jorgensen says: You know, I kept hearing the Blackrock orcs talk about the return of Hellscream to the Horde. What's that all about? Isn't Hellscream dead?
Messner says: I need to use the restroom.
Danforth says: I remember this one time, Keeshan and I were out fishing at the Lakeshire bridge and Keeshan farted. Don't think Oslow ever forgave Keeshan for that one...
Danforth says: You ever notice how sarcastic the people living in Redridge are? Sometimes I feel like I just want to take a blow torch to that jackass Solomon's town hall.
Danforth says: You know, I've always wondered why they call themselves orcs.
Krakauer says: It's weird. My butt hurts. Not sure why.
Danforth says: It's an ugly word, you know? It's a word I'd use to describe defecating. For exemple:
Danforth says: After that Pilgrim's Bounty dinner, I took a huge smelly orc.
Messner says: I really missed you, Danforth.
Danforth says: You know, Keeshan lost his wife to Blackrock orcs. He was never the same after that day. Was like the sun just set on his life. Darkness, man. Pure darkness.
Jorgensen says: You ever seen Keeshan kill an orc? It's a sight to behold, man.
Danforth says: They called us the Bravo Vompagny. When things needed killin', we did the spillin'... of blood.
Danforth says: Messner is a master of fire magic. We invite him to all of our barbecues.
Messner says: So what's up with the bridge in Lakeshire? Oslow ever finish building it?
Danforth says: So I hear Varian Wrynn is back. That true? Sorry, I'm a bit out of the loop.
Jorgensen says: I feel weak. I mean weaker than normal. Like as if the Light is less powerful this week. Probably just something I ate. Orc food give me the craps.
Danforth says: Jorgensen is real dainty, by the way. He's a paladin, so be careful what you say around him or you're liable to make him cry.
Jorgensen says: Real funny, Danforth.
Messner says: These orcs are in for a rude awakening once Bravo Compagny is back and running.
Jorgensen says: So I heard Thrall left the Horde. That true?
Messner says: Being a mage has its advantages. but the laundry bills are hell to pay.
Jorgensen says: I'm probably the most important member of this team, being a paladin and all.
Krakauer says: Keeshan's a good man, <name>. Any of us would give our lives for him.
Krakauer says: When this is all over, I'm taking a vacation.
Messner says: We all oew our lives to Keeshan. He's saved our hides a hundread times.
Jorgensen says: Can't believe we're putting the old team back together. All tanks to you, <name>.

Bravo Company is made up for 4 members. All are level 17 elites. They all self heal after a fight. They are comprised of:
Messner : Mage - 1750Hp
Jorgensen: Paladin - 1625Hp 357Mana
Danforth : Warrior - 1930Hp
Krakauer : Warrior - 1930 Hp
Both Krakauer and Danforth can tank for you. They also cast Battle shout with only the +AP component.
The mage casts the Flamestrike and firebolts. Also selfbuffs Molten Armour.
The Paladin has the Concentration aura on and self buffs Seal of Righteousness.
They dps ranges from 22(lvl 18mob) - 67(lvl14 mob) depending on mob level.
They can follow you around on a lvl 20 mount with ease. However if you happen to agro something they tend to slow down till you lose agro OR stop to fight.
As the previous poster said you will lose them if you:
1: Teleport anywhere, instance, hearth, log out etc
2: Take a flight mount to anywhere.... they can run but not that fast.
3: If you loose line of sight of them ie run away while they fight. (which is how l lost them in STV ... so sad)
They will not randomly agro anything and start a fight. You need to hit the mob first before they join in
These boys are the best of the best. If you have a &*!@ load of time on your hand then you can have a great deal of fun before you hand this quest in.
The benefits of keeping them is this, the 2 warriors can tank and boy can they tank. Take them around and they will do the tanking for you and you can dps from the background. You just need to make sure you hit the target first and be able to take some initial damage before the 2 tanks take over. Then sit back and dps em down. If your level 15-20 then this group will be a real great help for your questing. But Under level 20 you will be walking around a lot to get from one zone to another so its up to you if its worth the time and effort :)
1. Use them to level up gathering professions. At lvl 20 you can level your professions to level 225 (not including racial bonuses). You can basically go to a high level zone and do your farming safe in the fact that you can take on mobs up to level 30. I never got the chance to go any higher cos l lost them. Just make sure you take on one mob at a time. Any more and you will get agro on other mobs 'cos the Bravo Company can only dps ONE mob at a time. So if u get more than one be prepared to deal damage.
One thing you do need to have is a lot of HIT and Expertise gear 'cos you will be missing all your attacks on anything higher than 4 levels above you. I had about 28HIT rating at level 21 and 0 expertise, and l was still missing a load of hits on a lvl 30 mobs. Also remember these are Level 17 Elites so they will be doing minimum damage to a level 30 mob. They are they just to keep agro on the mob while you do the dps. So wear HIT gear.
I took Bravo Company into Stranglethorn Vale via Duskwood. Was a long ride but worth it. I managed to max out my herb/skinning to 225 and 240(worgan racial bonus)
I went slow killing one mob at a time working my way south to the southern area cos l was not getting many skill ups in the north after lvl 210.
2: Take them around to a AH and get them stand next to the AH npcs :)
3: go to where the duelers are and follow one dueler around so the other has a hard time targeting them :)
4. Take them sight seeing. See how far you can take them. (l'm on my way to taking them to see the IronForge king.)
5. Use em for quests in nearby zones . Duskwood, Westfall etc heck even at lvl 25+ you can take them into StV
Just posted a pic of them next to King Varian in Stormwind. Heck now l feel like taking em to see the Ironforge king via Westfall, swim to wetlands ride across to Loch Mordan then Dun Mordan... sigh that will be a long swim and ride in. Have fun :)

When you are at this stage of this quest, don't deliver the quest in, because you can take those four boytoys along with you to other areas outside redridge. I went with them to Duskwood and that was really funny, how easy it was killing all that went passed us by. Also remember that mounting by flightpath or porting outside redridge, will make your elites disappear. if that happens just return to redridge and your 4 bodyguards will pop up again.
Funny is, that they will agro all, so rogues and druids can stay in stealth and you get loads of buffs like aura's, battleshouts and stuff and they keep the agro down. handy for mages:)

Description

I don't know who you are, mister, but you've earned the respect and admiration of the Bravo Company. You've managed to save all our hides and kill a boatload of orcs in the process. Now we return the favor. Get back to Lakeshire and report to Colonel Troteman. We'll find Johnny and deliver the good news in person. With the Bravo Company back in action, these orcs don't stand a chance.

Danforth's being tortured on the other side of the cave. There's no telling what state he's in by now! We need to get over there and save him! Overlord Barbarius has the key to the lever holding Danforth up. We work together as a team and we can kill that bastard, Barbarius.
