From Halopedia, the Halo wiki

Template:New Content

A SPARTAN-IV player model in Halo 4.

The SPARTAN-IV Program is the fourth iteration of the SPARTAN supersoldier program. It was conceived by Admiral Margaret Parangosky, the Commander-in-Chief of the Office of Naval Intelligence. The SPARTAN-IV Program was originally to be headed by SPARTAN-III lead Colonel James Ackerson, with SPARTAN-II project lead Dr. Catherine Halsey to be reassigned as Ackerson's subordinate.[1] Though Ackerson was killed following the Battle of Mare Erythraeum, ONI continued the program without him.[2]

Like the original ORION Project, the SPARTAN-IV Program would utilize only consenting adult volunteers.[3] The remaining SPARTAN-IIIs were offered to be integrated into the SPARTAN-IV Program.[4] Some fourth-generation Spartans were already active by 2553; some of them were assigned to the UNSC Infinity before it was launched.[2]

Trivia

Halo 4's multiplayer has a narrative base, where red and blue Spartans are given reasons for fighting each other. The player characters, Spartan IV's, are fully customizable.[5]
