The Official Spartan Field Manual is a guide to every element of the United Nations Space Command (UNSC) SPARTAN-IV program, disseminated to all newly-augmented Spartans. Inside these pages is the guidance you'll need to put your enhanced strength, speed, and skills to use in both War Games training simulations and, ultimately, joint combat operations. This manual is essential for getting to know the weapons and vehicles you will be using on the battlefield, as well as the allies and enemies you can expect to encounter. COMPULSORY READING FOR ALL SPARTAN-IV FIRETEAM LEADERS AND COMMANDERS. |

Appearances[edit]
Re-release[edit]
On August 2024, the Official Spartan Field Manual was re-released by the publisher Simon & Schuster. For the updated release, the Manual featured an audiobook version:
- Chris Henry Coffey – Narrator[3]
- Elle Newland – Spartan Tedra Grant, reprising her role from Spartan Ops[3]
- Pete Simonelli – Spartan Gabriel Thorne[3]
Errors[edit]
- On page 62, the Truth and Reconciliation is referred to as a carrier.
- On page 74, it states that John-117 was in cryosleep for six years, instead of four years.
- On page 84, Operation: PROMETHEUS is dated June 2537 instead of July.
- On page 85, the approval of the SPARTAN-III program is dated 2431 instead of 2531.
- On page 113, an occurrence of Fireteam Jackknife is written with a single “k”.
- On page 141, the abbreviation for the rank Crewman is indicated as “CR” instead of “CN”, repeating the abbreviation for Crewman Recruit.
- On page 153, the image used for the Sangheili Zealot is that of a Sangheili Officer.
- On page 181, the redundancy “Mark V and Mark V” was most probably intended to be “Mark V and Mark VI”.
