No. Those were just random Bevelle soldiers.


Anyway, as has been pointed out, the Crimson Squad and the Crusaders/Crimson Blades are not one and the same. The Crusaders are the Crusaders, and the Crimson Squad is the Crimson Squad, an elite fighting force being developed before Yuna's pilgrimage, and with its candidates receiving their final test just as Operation: Mi'hen was about to get underway, not after the Eternal Calm began.
