Unlike the Spartan-IIs, the Spartan-III children were not conscripted from their homes. The Spartan-III Companies initially consisted of children orphaned on worlds that had been glassed by the Covenant.

Of the 497 Spartans, only 300 were conscripted. This class of Spartans all survived the augmentations and was activated in November of [[2536]].
