'''Jetpacks''', '''thruster packs''', '''jump packs''' and '''jump-jets''', are personal propulsion device. Jetpacks give individuals limited flight capabilities, both inside and outside of gravity-intensive environments. Jetpacks are used by various species, including [[human]]s, [[Sangheili]], [[Kig-Yar]], [[Jiralhanae]], and occasionally [[Unggoy]].<ref name="ENC354">'''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]''', ''page 354'' (2011 edition)</ref> | |||

As part of their standard training, all personnel of the [[UNSC]]'s [[UNSC Special Forces#Naval Special Warfare Command|Naval Special Weapons]] and [[UNSC Special Forces#Unified Special Warfare Command|Special Warfare Command]] are required to learn how to operate with jetpacks. | As part of their standard training, all personnel of the [[UNSC]]'s [[UNSC Special Forces#Naval Special Warfare Command|Naval Special Weapons]] and [[UNSC Special Forces#Unified Special Warfare Command|Special Warfare Command]] are required to learn how to operate with jetpacks.{{Ref/Reuse|ENC354}} Likewise, all [[UNSC Navy]] and [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine Corps]] personnel are trained to become familiarized with jetpacks in [[Wikipedia:Micro-g environment|microgravity]] environments. However, only [[Spartan]] supersoldiers and certain [[UNSC Special Forces]] units—such as the [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] or operatives of [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]]'s [[Delta-6 Division]]—are trained to use jetpacks in an atmosphere. This training is often referred to as "jump pack training". Safety considerations are considered very important during jetpack training, especially for non-[[Biological augmentation|augmented]] personnel; without the encumbered of [[armor]] weighing half of a ton, some users can easily miscalculate the height and speed they are able to attain.<ref name="universe">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/tech/jetpack '''Halo Waypoint''': ''UNSC Jet Pack'']</ref> The UNSC has developed [[jump jet safety restraints]] and gravity mitigation harness linkages to be used with certain jetpack models.<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', ''Armory''</ref> Thrusterpacks are usually not well protected and the worn by [[James-005]] during the [[Fall of Reach]] exploded when hit with projectiles from a [[Needler]], causing him to tumble into deep space and subsequently lose contact.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page ??''</ref> | ||
