Delta-6 Division

From Halopedia, the Halo wiki

The Delta-6 Division is a classified military division of the Office of Naval Intelligence Section Three, composed of highly trained forward deployed operators.[1] Delta-6 fields a small number of Spartan-IVs, as well as unaugmented operators (Rangers from the UNSC Army)[2]. The division deployed Spartan operators to eliminate key rebel leaders on Talitsa.[3]

Several MJOLNIR [GEN2] variants are used prominently by D6's Spartan operatives. Spartans deployed in lone-wolf operations favor the Ranger variant.[4] The Talitsa mission saw the most prominent use of the Wetwork variant.[3] Hunter-trackers are commonly issued the Stalker variant.[5] Following the start of the Created conflict, hunter-killer teams and disruption operators performing long-range remote operations utilize Rakshasa armor as their standard variant.[6] Offshoots of the MJOLNIR Air Assault variant have also been considered for adoption by unaugmented Delta-Six operators, but larger-scale adoption of the system has been hindered by its high cost, with each suit costing as much as a dropship.[7]

Delta-6 Division operatives are one of the few groups within the UNSC that are trained to use jetpacks in an atmosphere.[8]

Key to its success are multiple levels of subsystem redundancy and an integral self-repair system."
