In [[Dr. Halsey's personal journal|her personal journal]], Dr. Halsey there notes, ''"That lie about all the Spartans gathered here, save for Gray - will that come back to haunt me?"'' This strongly hints to the existence of SPARTAN-IIs not deployed to Reach. In addition, she notes that the candidates who were killed by the augmentations were cryonically frozen and may have later been resuscitated. She expresses her fear for what the Office of Naval Intelligence might do with their own "secret" SPARTANs, seemingly suggesting the origins of [[Team Black]]. She also notes that some of the SPARTANs who were crippled later had their injuries healed, enabling them to return to active duty, possibly fixing the "Reach" discrepancy.<ref name="journal"></ref> | In [[Dr. Halsey's personal journal|her personal journal]], Dr. Halsey there notes, ''"That lie about all the Spartans gathered here, save for Gray - will that come back to haunt me?"''

In the bonus content of the 2010 reprint of '' | In the bonus content of the 2010 reprint of ''Halo: First Strike'', Fred is interviewed by [[Veronica Clayton|an ONI officer]] during the Battle of Earth. The new content states that there were twenty-one Spartans under Fred's command; a video on ''Halo Waypoint'' later reiterated this number.<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/intel/featured/video/defiant-to-the-end/f2595044-7e26-4928-a24b-8e1a2db3ce45 '''Halo Waypoint:''' ''Defiant to the End'']</ref> Of these Spartans, six were wounded and four were killed when [[Bravo 001|their Pelican]] was shot down; however, this conflicts with the fact that Alpha and Gamma teams each had three members, Team Delta had six members, and Team Beta had eleven members, unless these numbers have been retconned.<!--Even if these sizes of Alpha, Gamma, and Delta have been retconned, Halo: Reach confirms that Beta-Red had eleven members.--> This adds up to twenty-eight Spartans on Red Team, including Fred. Taking into account the three Spartans in space, as well as Jorge, there were a total of thirty-two SPARTAN-IIs present during the Fall of Reach. If taken at face value, this brings the total number of known SPARTAN-IIs who survived the augmentation procedures, or were rehabilitated or resuscitated, up to fifty-four. | ||
