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, being strong enough to twist Kelly's wrist and escape from her arm lock as well, despite wearing only SPI armor, which does not significantly increase the wearers speed and strength, unlike MJOLNIR. While Kelly was able to quickly defeat the Spartan-III afterward with a palm strike, she took note that she would have easily torn her opponent's arm off if he or she were unaugmented; it should be noted that the Spartan III was on the move mere moments later.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 165 - 166''</ref><ref>'''Halo Mythos''', ''page 77''</ref> Additionally, [[Mark-G313]] was able to support and haul the weight of [[Fred-104]], who was equipped with [[Mark VI]] MJOLNIR armor and barely conscious.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 308''</ref> | During the [[Battle of Onyx]], one of the Spartan-IIIs briefly fought the Mjolnir-armored [[Kelly-087]].

While most Spartan-IIIs were issued with [[Semi-Powered Infiltration armor]] as opposed to [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|Mjolnir]] for budgetary reasons, a small number of Spartan-III candidates—called "cat 2s" by [[Kurt Ambrose]]—were set apart from the general population of the program by Ambrose and [[Franklin Mendez]] on the basis of their exceptional skill and performance either in general or in specific fields.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/characters/kat-b320 '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Kat-B320'']</ref><ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/characters/carter-a259 '''Halo Waypoint''': '' | While most Spartan-IIIs were issued with [[Semi-Powered Infiltration armor]] as opposed to [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|Mjolnir]] for budgetary reasons, a small number of Spartan-III candidates—called "cat 2s" by [[Kurt Ambrose]]—were set apart from the general population of the program by Ambrose and [[Franklin Mendez]] on the basis of their exceptional skill and performance either in general or in specific fields.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/characters/kat-b320 '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Kat-B320'']</ref><ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/characters/carter-a259 '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Carter-A259'']</ref><ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/characters/emile-a239 '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Emile-A239'']</ref> These Spartans were removed from the program's mainline companies, given Mjolnir armor and assigned to separate special forces units.<ref name="comm">[http://www.bungie.net/projects/reach/article.aspx?ucc=personnel&cid=24040 '''Bungie.net''': ''Communique from Kurt to Mendez'']</ref> Kurt regarded the "cat 2" Spartan-IIIs as being on par with the Spartan-IIs, though he would also later assess [[Gamma Company]] on the whole as being comprised of the "finest Spartans ever".<ref name="goo98"/> Additionally, [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]] noted how [[SPARTAN-B312]]'s "hyper-lethal" rating was shared by only one other Spartan, and remarked that [[Jun-A266]]'s skills as a sniper were "unmatched".<ref name="aswr">'''[[Halo: Reach ViDoc: A Spartan Will Rise]]'''</ref> [[File:Spartan-G059 killing Elites.png|thumb|200px|left|Spartan-G059 killing two Elite commanders.]] | ||
