'''Spartan''', also referred to as the '''Spartan branch''',<ref>[[Halo 4 Limited Edition|'''Halo 4 Limited Edition —''' ''Spartan armor customization schematic'']]</ref> is the fifth and newest branch of the [[UNSC Defense Force]]. It is responsible for the command of [[Wikipedia:Special operations|special operations]] undertaken mainly by members of the [[SPARTAN-IV program|fourth-generation]] [[SPARTAN program]], with former elements of the [[SPARTAN-III program]] and even a small number of [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-IIs]] integrated into their ranks. This branch was established in the years following the apocalyptic [[Human-Covenant War]], a time which saw a dramatic increase in the numbers of Spartan supersoldiers upon the activation of the SPARTAN-IV program.<ref name="HW Story">[http://halo.xbox.com/halo4#!an-epic-universe/story/6eeabce4-dc80-4aa3-b2aa-2f5d123b7514 '''Halo Waypoint:''' ''Story'']</ref>

==History==
===Origins===
The production of large numbers of Spartans with relative ease did not become possible in practice until the end of the Human-Covenant War. Despite this, optimistic projections in [[2531]] suggested that a hundred thousand new Spartans might be created in the following thirty years.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx,''' ''page 64''</ref> Between 2531 and [[2552]], nearly a thousand Spartans were trained, augmented, and graduated as part of the [[SPARTAN-III program]], masterminded by [[UNSC Army|Army]] veteran and ONI confidant [[James Ackerson|Colonel James Ackerson]].

The beginnings of the fourth generation of the venerable Spartan program began shortly before the end of hostilities in the Human-Covenant War.<ref name="GL 422">'''Halo: Glasslands,''' ''page 422''</ref> The program was conceived by [[Lieutenant Commander]] [[Musa-096]], a former SPARTAN-II crippled by the [[SPARTAN-II augmentation procedures|augmentation process]]. Despite believing that the methodology of the SPARTAN-II program was highly unethical, Musa was also adamant that the Spartans were critical for humanity's survival and would continue to be so in the following years.<ref name="init1">'''Halo: Initiation''', ''Issue #1''</ref>

Due to ethical factors, as well as advancements in technology now allowed the augmentation of adult subjects without the major risks which necessitated the use of children in the preceding programs, it was decided that future Spartans would be consenting adults, all of whom handpicked for their exceptional service during the war, mainly from special operations units from across the [[United Nations Space Command Defense Force|armed forces]].<ref name="GL 434"/><ref name="HW Story"/> This marked a return to the recruitment methodology of the [[ORION Project]], which had created bio-engineered soldiers to fight the growing [[Insurrection]] in the [[Outer Colonies]] over sixty years earlier. Coincidentally, the SPARTAN-IVs would come to serve in a similar capacity, fighting resurgent colonial rebellions.

[[Admiral]] [[Margaret Parangosky]], Commander-in-Chief of the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]], who had previously authorized the [[SPARTAN-II program|second]] and third generations, approved of the new program, particularly because of its moral transparency in comparison to the previous programs.<ref name="GL 434">'''Halo: Glasslands,''' ''page 434''</ref> Originally, Parangosky planned to give command of the SPARTAN-IV program and ultimately the Spartan branch to Colonel James Ackerson.<ref name="GL 147">'''Halo: Glasslands,''' ''page 147''</ref> Serving under him, presumably in a scientific role to enhance the augmentation procedures and spearhead new technologies, would be [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Elizabeth Halsey, MD, PhD]], matriarch of the SPARTAN-II program.<ref name="GL 147"/> However, neither would come to serve the SPARTAN-IVs: Colonel Ackerson was executed as a war prisoner aboard the Covenant vessel ''[[Triumphant Declaration]]'' following his defeat at [[Battle of Mare Erythraeum|Mare Erythraeum]] in November 2552.<ref name="Uprising">'''Halo: Uprising,''' issue one</ref> Dr. Halsey became trapped within the [[Forerunner]] [[shield world]] [[Trevelyan]], later to be exiled to [[Ivanoff Station]] orbiting [[Installation 03]]<ref name="GL 341">'''Halo: Glasslands,''' ''page 341''</ref> and then onboard the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} by Admiral Parangosky.

===Creation===
Prior to the formation of the SPARTAN-IV program as it now exists, ONI Section III authorized a prototypical phase of the project with the approval of the [[UNSC High Command]]. This incarnation attempted to create Spartans without the need for [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR armor]]. However, the augmentations killed nine of the ten volunteers and mentally destabilized the survivor, [[Ilsa Zane]], who was reassigned to ONI.<Ref name="init3"/> The modern version of the program was initiated some time later.

In January 2553, the first successful batch of the nascent SPARTAN-IVs defended UNSC ''Infinity'' from an attack (and brief commandeering) by the [[Insurrectionist]] group known as the [[New Colonial Alliance]]; the hijacking was led by the now-defected Ilsa Zane. The Spartans' repelling of the takeover attempt also exposed [[Admiral]] [[Mattius Drake]] as a traitor. Following the incident, [[Lieutenant Commander]] [[Musa-096]] announced the establishment of the Spartans as their own distinct branch to HIGHCOM.<ref name="init3">'''Halo: Initiation''', ''Issue #3''</ref> Training for the new Spartans was conducted in various places, particularly the virtual reality deck aboard the highly advanced warship [[UNSC Infinity|''Infinity'']], then located in the [[Oort cloud]] beyond the [[Sol system]].<ref name="GL 422"/>

The surviving SPARTAN-III supersoldiers were requested by Admiral Parangosky and Naval Intelligence for reassignment to Spartan branch in early 2553. The active [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-IIs]] were given the choice of "pulling together" the remaining SPARTAN-IIIs and integrating them into the SPARTAN-IV program.<ref name="glass435">'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 435''</ref> SPARTAN-II [[Blue Team]] continued to operate (presumably within the new branch) as of July 2557.<ref>'''Halo 4''', campaign level ''[[Shutdown]]''</ref> Their operations remained highly secretive.<ref>'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]'''</ref>

===Combat deployments===
Since its instatement in early 2553, the Spartan branch has seen a number of engagements in both the resurgent [[Insurrection]] and [[Reclamation conflict|the continuing hostilities]] against both [[Covenant remnants|rogue Covenant factions]]. Sometime between March 2553 and July 2557, two of the first SPARTAN-IVs, [[Edward Davis]] and [[Sarah Palmer]], were present in a [[Battle of Draetheus V|battle]] against [[Merg Vol's Covenant faction|a Covenant resurgence]] on the former Forerunner world of [[Draetheus V]].<ref>''[[Halo: Spartan Assault]]''</ref>

During an exploration mission, the UNSC ''Infinity'' was pulled into [[Requiem]], an ancient [[Forerunner]] [[shield world]], by a [[Cryptum]]-occupying [[Promethean]] known as the [[Didact]] and his forces.<ref name="E3 2012">'''Halo 4,''' ''E3 2012 campaign demonstration''</ref><ref name="gttv">[http://www.gametrailers.com/full-episodes/qevv7h/gt-tv-halo-4 '''GameTrailers''': ''GTTV: Halo 4'']</ref> Led by [[Sarah Palmer|Commander Sarah Palmer]],<ref name="panel"/> the Spartans, aided by ''Infinity''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]], would assist [[John-117|MCPO John-117]] in his fight against the Prometheans, as well as the distracting Covenant which had followed the beleaguered SPARTAN-II to Requiem.<ref name="E3 2012"/> The Spartans teamed with John-117 to destroy the gravity well generator and to defend the ''Infinity'' from attacks by the [[Ur-Didact|Didact]], but left with the ''Infinity'' when [[Andrew Del Rio|Captain Andrew Del Rio]] chose not to stay and stop the Didact, an order John-117 disregarded.

After John-117 [[Battle of Earth (2557)|defeated the Didact]] and saved Earth, a number of Spartans aboard ''Infinity'' gathered to salute him as he finally returned to Earth after over four-and-a-half years missing in action. Later, with the ''Infinity'' high above, numerous Spartan teams, including [[Fireteam Crimson]] and [[Fireteam Majestic]], would serve on Requiem six months after the initial skirmishes on the shield world, fighting both the forces of the revived Covenant and the Prometheans.

==Composition==
===Organization===
Spartans operate in [[fireteam]]-sized units, which are in turn part of a larger Spartan detachment. Unlike the hierarchical rank structures of the UNSC's traditional military branches, all members of the Spartan branch are considered equal and lack formal ranks. "Spartan" used in the place of rank when addressing members of the branch. Leadership and combat specialization are determined by a Spartan's personal skills and abilities, demonstrated both in combat in the field and in [[War Games]] exercises. This skill is reflected by Spartan Rank, which has an alphanumeric value between SR1 and SR130. Spartans who meet or exceed SR50 are allowed to join one of eight wings of the branch known simply as Specializations; a Spartan's choice of Specialization ideally reflects the participant's Military Occupational Specialty, such as engineering or vehicle operation.<ref name="Infinity Briefing"/>

Detachments operate under a Spartan commander. While "Commander" is often used to address a Spartan detachment's overall leader, this merely refers to their administrative role instead of being a formal rank.<ref name="h4evg">'''Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide''', ''page 33''</ref> For example, [[Sarah Palmer]] serves as the commander of UNSC ''Infinity'''s contingent of several hundred Spartans, yet she is technically equal in rank to her subordinates. Fireteams, which typically contain around four members, are led by a team leader as in the UNSCDF's other branches.

===Personnel===
During the [[Human-Covenant War]], Spartan fatalities were always listed as [[missing in action]] or [[wounded in action]] in accordance with [[ONI Directive 930]] in order to bolster morale by maintaining a myth of invincibility around the almost legendary supersoldiers. This practice was not carried over to the Spartan branch in the postwar era, and the deaths of fallen Spartans are formally acknowledged and commemorated.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''Issue #3''</ref>

The following is a list of known personnel serving in the Spartan branch. The ranks listed are the original ranks of each serviceperson before their enlistment in the branch.

===Numbers===
{{Conjecture}}
The total number of Spartan personnel in the branch has not yet been specified, but the minimum count is well over 300: {{UNSCship|Infinity}} alone carries 300 to 500 Spartans.<ref name="panel"/> This count may include any former SPARTAN-III personnel, since all SPARTAN-IIIs active by early 2553 were reassigned to Spartan branch on Admiral Parangosky's orders.<ref name="glass435"/>

315 members of [[SPARTAN-III Gamma Company]] were deployed into combat in [[2552#October|October 2552]],<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 139''</ref> though the status of these Spartans following the war is unknown. Fifteen members of Gamma Company remained on Onyx; of these Spartans, three survivors of [[Team Saber]] are active as of March 2553, while the five members of [[Team Katana]] were last seen in a critical condition.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 310''</ref> The absolute minimum number of surviving SPARTAN-III supersoldiers as of March 2553 stands at five and includes [[Ash-G099]], [[Mark]] and [[Olivia]] of Team Saber, as well as their two Beta Company instructors, [[Tom-B292]] and [[Lucy-B091]]. Provided that the majority of Gamma Company were still active by the time of the establishment of the Spartan branch and the members of Katana returned to active duty, the total number of former SPARTAN-III personnel in the branch may be as high as 325.

Additionally, a number of SPARTAN-IIIs from the special operations program known as [[Headhunters]] may have been added to the roster of the Spartan branch. At the height of the Headhunter program, a total of seventeen Spartans served in its ranks.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''"Headhunters"'', ''page 160''</ref> Four Headhunters were killed during a mission on a [[Unidentified moon (Headhunters)|moon]]. Thus the maximum number of remaining Headhunters stands at thirteen.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''"Headhunters"'', ''page 188-192''</ref> Since much of the chronology and details of the Headhunter program remain undisclosed, it is unknown whether the program was even active by the end of the war or how many of its members may have ultimately survived.

If the remaining SPARTAN-IIs joined the branch, their numbers may range from four to fifteen, as a large number of them remained missing or out of contact with the UNSC as of their last sighting. The operations of those SPARTAN-IIs who continued to serve remain highly classified. The SPARTAN-IIs confirmed to be in active service within the UNSC include [[Linda-058]], [[John-117]], [[Kelly-087]], [[Fred-104]], and [[Naomi-010]], with the latter serving in the covert black ops unit [[Kilo-Five]]. [[Maria-062]] planned on retiring from service circa October 2552. There are also a number of second-generation Spartans missing or unreachable as of most recent knowledge. These include the Spartans aboard the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}, missing in unknown space since [[2531]]: [[Douglas-042]], [[Jerome-092]] and [[Alice-130]]. [[Gray Team]] ([[Jai-006]], [[Adriana-111]], and [[Mike-120]]) remained out of contact by August 2552, while [[Team Black]] ([[Black-One]], [[Black-Two]], [[Black-Three]] and [[Victor-101]]) were last sighted stranded on [[Unidentified moon (Sub-sector 35)|an unidentified moon]] around the same time.

==Production background==
*The role of the Spartan branch could be likened to that of the [[Wikipedia:Joint Special Operations Command|American Special Operations Command]] (JSOC) of the 21st century. It consists of the nation's most highly trained soldiers, including such units as the Army's [[Wikipedia:Delta Force|Delta Force]] (1st SFOD-D) and the Navy's [[Wikipedia:United States Naval Special Warfare Development Group|SEAL Team Six]] (DEVGRU). They undertake [[Wikipedia:Unconventional warfare|unconventional warfare]] missions too sensitive and too high-risk for other special forces units, most notably [[Wikipedia:Counter terrorism|counter-terrorism]]. JSOC is known for their unified command and asset structure, just as the Spartan branch exists to provide unified oversight of the Spartans.
*The Spartan branch's motto is derived from that of the British [[Wikipedia:Royal Marines|Royal Marines]], "''Per Mare, Per Terram,''": "''By Sea, By Land.''"
*As depicted in Issue #7 of ''[[Halo: Escalation]]'', the [[:File:Escalation-Thorne_in_Spartan_dress_uniform.png|dress uniform]] for the Spartan branch is nearly identical to the [[:File:FUD Orenski Lasky Silva color adjust.jpg|service uniform]] used by the cadets at [[Corbulo Academy of Military Science]], only colored navy blue and black as opposed to the white and black coloration of the Corbulo uniforms. The uniforms seen in ''Escalation'' even incorporate the single lozenge used to identify freshman cadets at Corbulo; it is uncertain whether this holds any particular significance regarding the Spartans' rank or if it is simply a mistake.
