{{Quote|As tools of war, the SPARTAN-IIIs were most often deployed as living fire-and-forget weapons--just point, shoot, and wait for the fireworks. ONI, or on occasion, a highly placed UNSC official, passed along a key Covenant target; the IIIs were then sent in, headfirst, to eliminate the given objective, or inflict as much damage as physically possible in the effort... Success meant a handful or more made it back to base, mission complete; failure, nobody came home.|Headhunter description.<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''': ''"Headhunters"'', page 159</ref>}} 
'''Headhunters''' are [[Spartan-III]] Special Operations squads comprised of two main teams that are sent on suicide mission to attack high priority [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] targets. They are tasked to infiltrate heavily fortified enemy encampments, ships, and operation centers completely undetected, with minimal, mission-specific weaponry, and no radio contact or hope for backup or retrieval. Headhunters are normally sent in as preparation for one of two eventualities: a larger, full-scale assault on the target, or as a decoy and distraction for UNSC operations elsewhere. Like all other SPARTAN-IIIs, they are listed as KIA rather than MIA, considering civilians and other soldiers have no knowledge of their existence so the KIA wouldn't affect overall [[UNSC]] morale. This secrecy only reinforces the bond amongst the [[SPARTAN-III]]s, making their teams nearly inseparable and uniform in their tactics and instincts.
 
Two Headhunter teams participated in a failed mission on an unnamed Covenant moon, with notable members including [[Jonah]] and [[Roland (Spartan)|Roland]].
