For the next two years, the Headhunters would go through seven months of supervised field exercises, followed by six months of real-world wartime insertions. These Spartan-IIIs would then perform missions far behind enemy lines and would likely die in combat. At the height of the program there was a maximum contingent of six squads — six teams with a total of seventeen soldiers rotating in to fill gaps when one or both members of a team were lost.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', "Headhunters" ; '''Volume 1''', ''pages 207-208''</ref> | For the next two years, the Headhunters would go through seven months of supervised field exercises, followed by six months of real-world wartime insertions.

The Headhunter program remains active following the [[Human-Covenant War]], although changes to its structure have been made. [[Spartan Operations]] and ONI maintain a selective list of Spartan-III and [[Spartan-IV]] supersoldiers who may be deployed on highly classified missions, whether in two-person teams ("BINARY") or as single operatives ("LONEWOLF"). | The Headhunter program remains active following the [[Human-Covenant War]], although changes to its structure have been made.

During the [[Human-Covenant War]], at least two Headhunters wore a more advanced version of the standard-issue [[Semi-Powered Infiltration armor]] used by most Spartan-IIIs. This armor included [[motion tracker]]s, [[energy shielding]], [[Visual Intelligence System, Reconnaissance|VISR]] technology, and a prototype [[active camouflage]] module. The active camouflage system could be sustained for only three-and-a-half to four minutes and diverted power from other systems while it recharged.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', "Headhunters" ; '''Volume 1''', ''page 212''</ref> | During the [[Human-Covenant War]], at least two Headhunters wore a more advanced version of the standard-issue [[Semi-Powered Infiltration armor]] used by most Spartan-IIIs.
