Only | Only sixteen Spartan-IIs are known to have survived the Covenant War: [[John-117]], [[Fred-104]], [[Kelly-087]], [[Linda-058]], [[Naomi-010]], [[Jai-006]], [[Adriana-111]], [[Mike-120]], [[Leon-011]], [[Robert-025]], [[August-099]], [[Randall-037]], [[Otto-031]], [[Victor-101]], [[Margaret-053]], and [[Roma-143]]; the last five have since been killed. The early composition of [[Red Team]]: [[Douglas-042]], [[Jerome-092]] and [[Alice-130]], spent most of the war in cryo-sleep and were not awakened until [[2559]], nearly six years after the war's end.<ref name="gamespot">[http://www.gamespot.com/articles/halo-wars-2-new-story-details-and-images-revealed/1100-6440811/ '''GameSpot''': ''Halo Wars 2 New Story Details and Images Revealed'']</ref> The members of [[Gray Team]] were left drifting in space after their latest [[Operation: SUNSPEAR|operation]] in late 2552 and went to cryo-sleep. In mid 2558, their lifeboat was recovered by a Sangheili fleetmaster, [[Rojka 'Kaasan]], who held them in stasis until their release a few months later. After being transferred to highly covert ONI [[Kilo-Five]] unit in 2553, Naomi-010 continued to serve on highly classified operations as of 2558. Though being missing in action since [[2532]] and discharged from service by ONI in [[2546]], Randall-037, now a Colonel of the [[Sedran Colonial Guard]], participated in a [[Mission to Alpha Shard|mission]] to capture the smugglers of a highly dangerous element used as a weapon in a [[terrorist]] attack, and sacrificed himself to ensure the operation's success.<ref name="hnf">'''[[Halo: Nightfall]]'''</ref> At least three members of [[Omega Team]] managed to survive the War, however their current status is unknown.<ref name="knowscope">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/know-scope '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Know-Scope'']</ref> Following the ceasefire, the surviving Spartan-IIs were offered the choice of integrating into the newly formed [[Spartan Operations]] branch along with the remaining Spartan-IIIs.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''pages 382-389''</ref> Some Spartan-IIs are known to have taken part in the training of [[Spartan-IV]] personnel.<ref name="wp spartan">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/factions/spartans '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Spartans'']</ref> | ||

On September 1, 2558, Gray Team were awakened from cryo and found themselves in the middle of [[Battle of Carrow|a battle]] between two Sangheili factions, a Jiralhanae clan and the citizens of [[Suraka]] on the planet [[Carrow]]. The Spartans joined forces with local [[Surakan Militia Volunteers|militia]] and remnants of one of the Sangheili groups to protect civilians from the Jiralhanae invaders. Together they managed to destroy an underground Forerunner facility housing hundreds of [[Sharquoi]] under the control of Brute Chieftain [[Hekabe]], preventing their deployment to other inhabited worlds. After their return to the UNSC, Gray Team were offered a choice to join a specialized interspecies strike team under the Office of Naval Intelligence, to continue operating deep in the [[Joint Occupation Zone]] as before. The Spartans reluctantly agreed to work for ONI, asking for a prowler of their own. | On September 1, 2558, Gray Team were awakened from cryo and found themselves in the middle of [[Battle of Carrow|a battle]] between two Sangheili factions, a Jiralhanae clan and the citizens of [[Suraka]] on the planet [[Carrow]].
