The original Spartan Project was created to test genetic enhancements on volunteers from the armed forces.<ref>Jan - [[Axon Clips Chapter 5]]</ref>. These enhancements were the precursors to the enhancements used in the [[Spartan-II]] program. The mortality rate for those injected was high, a factor which contributed largely to the failure of the program. Those who survived the injection(s) had a greatly increased rate of mental problems later in life. It is not known at this time how many soldiers participated in this program. However, it is mentioned that there are several offspring known as [[Spartan 1.1]]'s, some of which may have been chosen for the Spartan-II program.

At least one had a major role in the Human-Covenant War: Avery Johnson.  He fought in both the first and last battle of the war, he was the first one to kill a Covenant soldier and landed one of the final blows of the final battle when he shot and damaged the Monitor, allowing Spartan 117 to finally destroy him.  He was also the last human killed in the war.
