This company is created by Colonel James Ackerson, and trained, supervised, by Lieutenant Commander Kurt Ambrose. This company of Spartans was sent to Onyx, and begans its training in 2539 at Camp Currahee. Kurt regretted not teaching Alpha Company unit coordination, and inflicted that upon Beta Company with gusto. As well, because he didn't make the previous class flexible enough, he reflected that by forcing them This company's supervising AI, is, unlike the Alpha Company, Deep Winter, who actually cared about them and frequently advised Kurt not to be too hard on them. There were 418 candidates, but only 300 "graduated" and became Spartans.

They then proceeded to attack, on their sprint towards the Covenant factory several Covenant-Seraph fighters bombarded the SPARTAN-IIIs and took out dozens. But only one team, Team Foxtrot, succeeded in getting to the refinery, the remaining 200 SPARTAN-IIIs were occupied with the coming force of thousands Covenant troops counter-attacking them in open field combat. They were going well, and were on their way, when the Omega Three code was executed, which meant they were to drop the mission and run. However they weren't able to as seven Covenant Cruisers came down and attacked. Team Foxtrot sabotaged the reactor causing it to blow, and finished the mission.
