The SPARTAN-IVs serve in a dedicated branch of the UNSCDF known simply as [[Spartan (branch)|"Spartan"]], whereas their forebears operated within other chains of command.<ref name="story">[http://halo.xbox.com/halo4#!an-epic-universe/story/6eeabce4-dc80-4aa3-b2aa-2f5d123b7514 '''Halo 4 Official Site:''' ''STORY'']</ref>

==Trivia==
*Unlike the SPARTAN-II and III Programs, soldiers within the SPARTAN-IV Program apparently retain and are aware of their surnames. This is likely due to the fact that unlike [[SPARTAN-II Program|their]] [[SPARTAN-III Program|predessors]], they were not kidnapped/volunteered children or the fact that they were all already serving in the [[United Nations Space Command Defense Force|UNSCDF]] before becoming SPARTANs.
