Project CHRYSANTHEMUM

Project: CHRYSANTHEMUM is a set of SPARTAN-III bio-augmentation procedures, similar to those of the SPARTAN-II's. With advances in technology, however, the casualty rate for SPARTAN-III candidates was usually 0%, as opposed to the 56% casualty rate of the SPARTAN-IIs.

Trivia

 * During Operation: TORPEDO, Tom-B292 ran at a speed of 30 KPH (around 18 MPH) it is unknown how fast the SPARTAN-IIIs can run compared to the SPARTAN-IIs, but it should be noted that he was 12 at the time. The fastest speed ever achieved by a real life human was 26.7 mph by Maurice Green. It may be possible that Tom was not running at his full potential.
