However, pure combat proficiency is not the only requirement for admission into the Spartans. [[Olympia Vale]] was recruited into the branch, despite having minimal field experience. This is due to stellar combat scores in training exercises and her great diplomatic skills, as well as high recommendations from ONI.{{Ref/Reuse|vale}} Additionally, [[Anthony Madsen]], who had previously served an undistinguished career in the [[UNSC Marine Corps]], was admitted into the branch because of the recommendations of his father and grandfather, both [[general]]s in the Marines.<ref>'''Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide''', ''page 23''</ref> | However, pure combat proficiency is not the only requirement for admission into the Spartans.

On a rare occasion, a whole squad can be recruited as a Spartan. [[Alpha-Nine]] is one of the examples where Jun recruits Buck and his entire teams after the [[Draco III rebellion]]. This allows Alpha-Nine to retain its identity as a Spartan Fireteam without using standard fireteam names commonly used on Spartan Operations upon the Squad's re-establishment after the [[Battle of Cassidy III|events on Cassidy III]]. | |||

With no formal rank structure, each Spartan of the branch is given the informal rank of "Spartan". Each Spartan detachment is under the authority of a Spartan Commander;{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} for example, [[Edward Buck]] formerly served as Spartan Commander of the detachment aboard {{UNSCShip|Meriwether Lewis}},{{Ref/Reuse|H5GLtd}} while [[Sarah Palmer]] continues to serve as Spartan Commander of the Spartans of {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/characters/sarah-palmer '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Sarah Palmer'']</ref> Despite being the ranking Spartan on the ship, Palmer deferred to the [[John-117|Master Chief]] while he was aboard during the [[Battle of Requiem]] with the Master Chief effectively acting as the ranking Spartan during this time.<ref>'''[[Halo 4]]' | With no formal rank structure, each Spartan of the branch is given the informal rank of "Spartan".

Standing and specialization within the Spartan branch is also determined by the personal skill of the individual alone, demonstrated both in combat in the field and in training exercises.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} Spartans can apply to become [[Specializations|Specialists]], proving their abilities in a specific field above-and-beyond the already-high standards of a regular Spartan. Spartans who achieve their Specialist rating are granted access to more specialised and experimental weapons, armour, modifications and equipment which most Spartan personnel are not granted access to. Multiple Specialist ratings can be applied for, and granted.{{Ref/Reuse|Infinity Briefing}} | Standing and specialization within the Spartan branch is also determined by the personal skill of the individual alone, demonstrated both in combat in the field and in training exercises.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} Spartans can apply to become [[Specializations|Specialists]], proving their abilities in a specific field above-and-beyond the already-high standards of a regular Spartan.
