The key to the [[SPARTAN-II]]s' seeming invincibility and matchlessness in combat has always been '''their training''', honing their finesse even outside of wearing [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR armor]], and, combined with their [[SPARTAN-II augmentation procedures|augmentations]], making them superior in strength, speed, accuracy, reaction times, and intelligence to all other UNSC military personnel. Headquartered in a dedicated compound within the [[Reach FLEETCOM Military Complex|FLEETCOM Military Complex]] on [[Reach]], the Spartans' training was mainly orchestrated by [[Chief Petty Officer]] [[Franklin Mendez]], with the [[dumb AI|AI]] [[Déjà]] providing theoretical education in the [[Reach Naval Academy]]. | The key to the [[SPARTAN-II]]s' seeming invincibility and matchlessness in combat has always been '''their training''', honing their finesse even outside of wearing [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR armor]], and, combined with their [[SPARTAN-II augmentation procedures|augmentations]], making them superior in strength, speed, accuracy, reaction times, and intelligence to all other UNSC military personnel.

Between [[2511]] and [[2517]], 150 five to six-year-old children were selected from near perfect psychological and genetic markers that were set in [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]]'s selection protocols. The children were screened for certain genetic markers: strength, agility, even predispositions for aggression and intellect. But due to lack of facilities and funding, only 75 children were chosen for the program. The other half of the 150 original candidates were "weeded out" possibly through chance luck, the single flip of [[Quarter|a coin]].<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page 40''</ref> | Between [[2511]] and [[2517]], 150 five to six-year-old children were selected from near perfect psychological and genetic markers that were set in [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]]'s selection protocols.
