The muscular augmentations provided an individual SPARTAN-III the strength of "three normal soldiers".<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 99''</ref> During Operation: TORPEDO, SPARTAN-IIIs ran at a speed of nearly 30 KPH (around 18 MPH).<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 17''</ref> Spartan-IIIs were also described to have been moving with "speed and reflexes that no Covenant could follow".

During the [[Battle of Onyx]], one of the SPARTAN-IIIs briefly fought the MJOLNIR-armored [[Kelly-087]]. The SPARTAN-III in question was able to momentarily hold their own against Kelly, escaping from her arm lock and twisting her wrist despite wearing only SPI armor. While Kelly was able to quickly defeat the SPARTAN-III afterward, she took note that she would have easily torn her opponent's arm off if he or she were unaugmented.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 165''</ref> | During the [[Battle of Onyx]], one of the SPARTAN-IIIs briefly fought the MJOLNIR-armored [[Kelly-087]].

During the battle on Pegasi Delta, most of Beta Company were roughly twelve years old. The physical abilities of any SPARTAN-IIIs who lived long enough to mature would supposedly have improved significantly as [[Franklin Mendez|CPO Mendez]] stated that Spartans only grew stronger and faster as their bodies grew accustomed to their augmentations.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 73''</ref> While his statement was in reference to the SPARTAN-IIs, it can be assumed to hold true to their successors due to the similar nature of the augmentations. | During the battle on Pegasi Delta, most of Beta Company were roughly twelve years old.
