The SPARTAN-IV program has its roots between [[2548]] and [[2550]], when ONI began to experiment with adding limited [[Biological augmentation|enhancements]] to select groups of special operators.<ref name="HOSFM87">'''[[Halo: Official Spartan Field Manual]]''', ''page 87''</ref> After [[Victor Gallardo]], [[Dorian Nguyen]], [[Evelyn Rousseau]] and [[Saskia Nazari]] were exposed to the deadly effects of a Forerunner artifact, ONI offered them the chance to become part of the program, having discovered that [[Owen-B096]]'s genetic enhancements as a [[Spartan-III]] made him immune to the same effects. With the dying Victor's parents having already agreed on his behalf, ONI started the augmentations before they told the other three which appeared to be working.
