==Trivia==

*The name "Ambrose", the fictitious last name that was assigned to him by Ackerson, comes from the late Latin or [[Greek Mythology|Greek]] name Ambrosius, which was derived from the Greek name Αμβρόσιος (Αmbrosios) meaning "immortal" which could reference the fact that Spartans [[Office of Naval Intelligence Directive 930|are never marked as KIA]], in an attempt to uphold the belief that Spartans never die. He could have also been named Ambrose after the late author [[wikipedia:Stephen Ambrose|Stephen Ambrose]], who wrote many books about war, his most famous being [[wikipedia:Band of Brothers|Band of Brothers]]. The name of the camp that Kurt trained the SPARTAN-IIIs at, [[Camp Currahee]], is a nod to ''Band of Brothers''.

*Kurt is the only known [[SPARTAN-II]] to wear [[SPI|S.P.I. Armor]]. Because of this, he is the only SPARTAN-II that did not have any [[energy shields]] in ''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'', and did not bother to use the [[Kig-Yar Point Defense Gauntlet]] when he used the SPI Armor like the SPARTAN-IIIs did. He decided to wear SPI armor instead of MJOLNIR because he felt he would disconnect himself from his Spartan-III's. He felt he no longer belonged in the MJOLNIR armor, despite the vastly greater protection that it would provide him.

Ironically, the MJOLNIR armor may have saved him from the needler round, as it would have bounced off his shield unless the power was drained.

*Kurt, along with [[Fhajad-084]], are the highest-ranking SPARTAN-IIs in the Halo universe, both being Lieutenant Commander.

*Kurt and Jorge-052 are the only known SPARTAN-IIs involved in the SPARTAN-III program.
