The '''SPARTAN-IV program''' is the fourth iteration of the [[SPARTAN programs|SPARTAN supersoldier projects]]. Like the original [[ORION Project]], the SPARTAN-IV program utilizes consenting adult volunteers selected from the other branches of the [[United Nations Space Command]], in contrast to the previous two programs which used children as candidates.<ref name="glass434">'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 434''</ref> Recruits are drawn from both career military veterans and young soldiers who show considerable promise.<ref name="EH">'''[[Eleventh Hour reports]]''', ''part 3''</ref>

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. After considering their options, the rest of the group agreed to undergo the augmentations and join the new program, both to survive and to continue fighting the Covenant.{{Ref/Novel|Id=MerDi21|MerDi|Chapter=21}}
