Template:Article Quote Headhunters are Spartan-III Special Operations squads. Only SPARTAN-IIIs that had survived two or more specially assigned training missions would be evaluated. Once an overall list of potential candidates was compiled, each soldier's personal files and mission reports were analyzed against a set series of parameters calculated by top ONI specialists. Once selected, candidates were separated from their fellow Spartans and shipped to a special training facility on the far side of Onyx. After three months, the soldiers were broken into four two-person squads, chosen through a series of detailed evaluations and an intense interview process meant to devise the best possible pairings between members of the group. For the next two years, the Headhunters would go through seven months of supervised field exercises, followed by six months' real-world wartime insertions. These SPARTAN-IIIs would go onto missions far behind enemy lines and would more than likely be expected to die in combat.[1]
Two Headhunter teams participated in a failed mission on an unnamed Covenant moon, with notable members including Jonah and Roland.

Trivia
- The concept of the Headhunters is quite similar to that of the SPARTAN-II group, Black Team Both groups are separated from their fellow Spartans and are sent far behind enemy lines for special covert operations and have access to advanced equipment not available to their bretheren. However, while the IIs knew about Black Team, it is mentioned that the Headhunters were a secret even to their peers.
- At the height of the program there was a maximum contingent of six squads - six teams with a total of 17 soldiers rotating in to fill gaps when half or all of a team was lost.
- It is unknown what armor they wear, but it is likely to be either MJOLNIR or a heavily modified SPI, because it includes a VISR module, tracking and shielding. whether this is energy shields or environmental shielding (i.e EMP and radiation) is unknown as it is only mentioned once and there are many instances where shields should have been mentioned but werent (Roland's death, wiping knife on armor plate, and when Jonah is hit).
