Twelve Spartan-II candidates were officially discharged from the program after failing the augmentation procedures, most becoming severely crippled. The majority of these former candidates were later reassigned to the Office of Naval Intelligence. However, Dr. Halsey hoped that some might be rehabilitated and enter service as fully functional Spartans.{{Ref/Reuse|journal}}

Officially, thirty Spartan candidates were killed when they failed to adapt to their physical enhancements; the only identified fatalites are [[SPARTAN-073]]<ref>'''[[Scanned]]'''</ref> and [[Edgar-150]].<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-give-em-lore '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - If They Want Lore, We'll Give 'Em Lore'']</ref> However, at least one of the candidates allegedly killed by the augmentation procedures actually lived and were pressed into ONI service, their survival kept secret from their peers. [[Serin-019]] became an ONI operative.

This was presumably made possible by Halsey's insistence that no invasive autopsies be performed and that the funeral for those killed by the procedures be closed-casket, the cadavers instead remaining in cold storage. The doctor considered that some of the deceased Spartans may some day be resuscitated and placed into active service; by June 27, 2525, rehabilitation protocols were in development for 80% of the washouts, with AIs predicting a total survival rate as high as 50%. Halsey also noted her consternation over what ONI may do with a secret team of officially deceased Spartans.{{Ref/Reuse|journal}}
