Well, I interpreted it as the washouts from Alpha Company, the group of Spartans right before them - not all of them could be Spartans, remember? ONI wouldnt exactly let them go home, could they? So they were retasked as Drill Instructors.

I'm a person who often comes to this site for information, but this is just weird. Bungie Staff heads have reported many times that they reported that "I Love Bees is nice, but treat it as such, it isn't canon" (Joseph Staten, Writing Director). I don't want to sound like an ass, that's not my intention, but should you guys treat this information as canon? 4:26, 10 March 2008

Smoke and Shadow seems to confirm Forge was a 1.1, he enlists at 16 and is seen as "exceptional" and his father is stated to have died from Boren's syndrome [[Special:Contributions/68.110.160.37|68.110.160.37]] 06:58, 13 December 2018 (EST)

:It's said Avery wore "charcoal fatigues and matte-black impact plating that bulwarked everything vital from his neck to his knees". It's also mentioned that he had shirtsleeves, leather gloves and a fully encased helmet with a visor. Sounds somewhat like the ODST armor but it's likely a heavy version of the Marine BDU since the ODST armor is completely sealed and has a vacuum-enhanced body suit instead of fatigues under it. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] ([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]]) 11:43, May 26, 2010 (UTC)

== ORION detachment, not ORION Project...... ==
The unit is called ORION detachment or simply ORION and this is explained in Contact Harvest. The recruiter that finds Johnson and looks into his records see that it is called ORION and the ONI agent says to Johnson "Team Leader, ORION detachment, NavSpecWar division?".
Also, the epilogue in Contact Harvest where they attack the insurrectionist bombers is not an ORION mission. It appears to be an ODST mission given the gear and weapons and that it was a battalion sized element, but most importantly, the mission was in 2524, long after ORION disbanded. The ORION detachment was a small unit with select personnel, not just Marines, so my feeling is that Johnson (and maybe even Byrnes) were released back into the Marine Corps after ORION folded and were members of one of the ODST units during Operation TREBUCHET.
Remember, the UNSC conducted larger operations because the insurrection became more efficent and that is why ORION was disbanded and the marines were sent in, including CPT Ponder's marine unit. The truth is that the program was never disbanded, but secretly enhanced with the SPARTAN II'S.
I really wish they would make a new book based solely on the ORION detachment and Johnson's time there. Would be a very good read.
== status of SPARTAN-1s ==
should we put the status of each Spartan 1's like the Spartan 2 and 3's?

==Contradiction==
In the article, it says that the number of SPARTAN-Is were raised to 300 in response to Operation: TREBUCHET, which began in 2513. But in the following section, it stated that ORION was decommissioned in 2506. Can someone clarify? Sona 10:59, 18 November 2011 (EST)
== Unnecessary trivia ==
:''In the real world, Project Orion was a spacecraft program was the first engineering design study of spacecraft powered by nuclear pulse propulsion. Its supporters felt that it had great potential for space travel, but it lost political approval because of concerns with fallout from its propulsion. The Partial Test Ban Treaty of 1963 is generally acknowledged to have ended the project.''
Besides both projects meeting unsatisfying results and their name, there's nothing at all related between the two. {{User:Helianthus/Sig}}

== Name ==
Since this is retroactively known as the "SPARTAN-I" program; the augmentation projects of the IIs, IIIs, and IVs, are known as projects ASTER, CHRYSANTHEMUM, ORCHID respectively; then shouldnt this be the "SPARTAN-I program", with its augmentation project known as "Project ORION"?[[User:TheNuclearSoldier|TheNuclearSoldier]] ([[User talk:TheNuclearSoldier|talk]]) 00:57, April 26, 2021 (EDT)
