As things stand though, he comes up a little short when compared to the very best. In a way, Jerome embodies the same skills as Master Chief to a lesser degree. Kelly is one of the few surviving Spartan-IIs during the events of Halo 5 : Guardians and with good reason. Though luck was arguably on her side, she's also an incredibly skilled combatant capable of defending both herself and her teammates.
Serving in countless combat operations that date back to Reach, Kelly is easily one of the most skilled and powerful Spartans to have graced Blue Team. Kurt is one of the few Spartans that has been able to outsmart Master Chief. Arguably the best tactician out of all the Spartan-IIs, Kurt had an inhuman ability to sense traps and ambushes that would otherwise go unnoticed. His ability to strategize and sense danger earned him the rank of Officer and, eventually, Lieutenant Commander. Frederic might not be the best strategist or marksman out of the Spartan-IIs, yet he can be considered a better Spartan than even Master Chief.
This is because Fred has the same jack-of-all-trades style of proficiency that most Spartans lack. Master Chief might have luck on his side, but he is otherwise mediocre when compared to most Spartans. Frederic, on the other hand, is the second-best at just about everything, be it leading others or killing Covenant forces with only a combat knife.
When a Spartan is so skilled at so many things, they end up rising above their peers in most ways. Master Chief even admitted that if it wasn't for his luck, Frederic would overtake him in status. He is the only Spartan-III that has been classified as hyper-lethal , a title that was only held by one Spartan-II before Industries retconned this detail.
Even with that retcon, Noble 6 is still a force to be reckoned with. He was chosen by Cortana when the AI was escorted to the Pillar of Autumn, worked alongside Noble Team to evacuate Reach, and single-handedly killed hundreds of Covenant before Noble eventually perished during the final hours of the Reach invasion. Linda has been exposed to military operations and is still fighting alongside Blue Team to this day. Were it not for John, however, she would almost certainly have perished during the Fall of Reach.
What makes Linda so strong is her unparalleled accuracy with any marksman rifle, particularly a sniper rifle. With the help of their older, more experienced counterparts, they successfully fought off a Covenant attack along with destroying a Sentinel manufacturing facility. After the Human-Covenant War , the main body of Gamma Company was integrated into the newly formed Spartan Operations branch, though some members were returned to non-combatant status.
They continued to serve with Blue Team until July , when Admiral Margaret Parangosky decided to reassign the three Gamma Company Spartans into a top-secret " Ferret " unit while officially listing them as KIA to prevent knowledge of their illegal enhancements. Delta Company was proposed and Camp Currahee was being prepared for the candidates' arrival when the Onyx Conflict began on October 31, In addition to the standard company formations, many Spartan-IIIs were withdrawn after training to serve in specialist units.
Most of these Spartans served under the operational command of the Navy and the Army , [25] [26] though some served in the Marine Corps , [27] and a select few in the Air Force ; [28] ONI's Beta-5 Division considered specialist Spartan-III teams useful bargaining chips in the internal politics of the UNSC Armed Forces , using them to achieve ends relevant to their interests such as securing given branches' leadership support for the program.
Alpha and Beta Companies initially had and candidates, respectively, although only would become Spartans within each company. Of the "washouts" from these companies, most would later become drill instructors for their successors.
However, there may still have been a large recruitment pool from which to draw members for specialist teams. Lieutenant Commander Ambrose believed that as much as 1. Rosenda-A served in the non-company personnel rotation and was considered as a possible replacement for Emile-A's position as Noble Four due to the latter's excessive hostility toward Insurrectionists. Only Spartan-IIIs who had survived two or more specially assigned training missions could join the "Headhunters". These two-man teams of Spartan-IIIs went on missions far behind enemy lines and were typically expected to die in combat.
The Headhunters' existence was secret even to their peers. Once selected, candidates for the program were separated from their fellow Spartans and sent to specialist training camps on the far side of Onyx.
A contingent of six two-man teams, as well as five additional Headhunters, was maintained at all times to ensure the program's numbers remained constant should one or both members of a team be lost.
Since the public was not aware of the distinction between the Spartan-IIs and the Spartan-IIIs, the latter let their predecessors take credit for their actions. Gauntlet , Red , and Echo Teams were rumored to be deployed in civilian evacuation operations on August A Spartan-III fireteam held off a bevy of Covenant vessels while a small number of civilians escaped aboard a transport craft. Their most notable combat deployment was during the Fall of Reach. The team was commanded by Carter-A , with Kat-B as his second-in-command.
All but Jun-A [44] were killed in combat during the Fall of Reach. Many of the operations undertaken by the soldiers were suicide missions, but were regarded as successes by the UNSC. The Spartan-IIIs are generally highly dedicated and goal-oriented.
The Spartans' motivation was a driving factor throughout the program: at least Alpha Company 's training began with a test forcing the candidates some of them only four years old to perform a nighttime parachute jump to determine the extent of their willingness to participate in the program, [52] and gruelling vetting processes were used to pick the trainees to become Spartans out of Alpha and Beta companies' original rosters of and candidates, respectively.
This was largely driven by practical concerns: the program was operating on a limited budget and did not have the funding to augment and equip every trainee. It also introduced an additional element of competitiveness to the program, with fireteams fiercely contending for the opportunity to become Spartans. Many of the Spartan-III candidates were very lively and aggressive, to the extent that some initially doubted whether they could be trained into effective soldiers at all.
All of the three-hundred Spartans deployed on the mission were supposedly killed. These Spartans were assigned to other units, and given equipment on par with the Spartan-IIs, including the Mjolnir Armor, to make them equally efficient on the battlefield.
Kurt was disheartened at the loss of his first Spartans, and trained this group in unit cohesiveness along with a tougher training program. From the entire company, only two participants survived the battle.
Some of them were assigned to "non-combat roles" as a cover, much to Ackerson's dismay, as he wanted to have all Spartans in the field. Every one of them survived the augmentation procedures. Following the Battle of Onyx, seven had been killed in action.
Teams Gladius and Katana were not present in the early stages of the battle, leaving only Team Saber. With the help of their older, more experienced counterparts, they successfully fought off a Covenant attack along with destroying a Sentinel manufacturing facility. Delta Company was proposed, and Camp Currahee was being prepared for their arrival when the Battle of Onyx began on October 31, Catherine Halsey, as well as the immediate concerns of the Battle of Earth and the disintegration of Onyx, it is highly unlikely that Delta Company will ever be trained.
A number of soldiers were specially selected and separated from their respective companies to fight in smaller fireteams. Jonah-B and Roland-B , a Headhunter team.
The Headhunters' existence is secret even to their peers. A contingent of six two-man teams, as well as five additional Headhunters, is maintained at all times to ensure the program's numbers remain constant should one or both members of a team be lost. Their most notable combat deployment was during the Fall of Reach.
The team was commanded by Carter-A , with Catherine-B as his second in command.
