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.

The Spartans were awakened early in the morning by [[Franklin Mendez|CPO Franklin Mendez]] and his instructors at 0530 hours. Mendez ordered them to go to the showers and those who hesitated were hit with an [[Humbler stun device|electric baton]].

Afterwards, Mendez and the instructors jogged them about a mile to the [[Reach Naval Academy]] where [[Déjà]], a [[Dumb AI|"dumb"]] [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] and Halsey's attaché on the program, taught them a wide variety of lessons, including mathematics, science and history, between physical training. Their first lesson was a video of the original Greek [[wikipedia:Spartans|Spartans]] fighting against Persian soldiers at Thermopylae.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 55''</ref> Then they jogged two miles to the "playground", a maze in mid-air with a bell at the top, where they were divided into teams of three. Each team was tasked to [[Ring the Bell|ring the bell]] positioned on a pole and then cross the finish line. The last team to reach the bell at the end would not get supper, as an incentive to win. Though [[John-117]] reached the bell first, his other team-mates were last, forcing them all to do without supper.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 58''</ref> | Afterwards, Mendez and the instructors jogged them about a mile to the [[Reach Naval Academy]] where [[Déjà]], a [[Dumb AI|"dumb"]] [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] and Halsey's attaché on the program, taught them a wide variety of lessons, including mathematics, science and history, between physical training.

The Spartans were woken, took their showers and did their morning calisthenics and ran a mile to Déjà. Their lesson was about a pack of wolves hunting moose. After the lesson they ran the two miles to the playground, which had been changed and was much more complicated.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 59''</ref> | The Spartans were woken, took their showers and did their morning calisthenics and ran a mile to Déjà.
