The '''SPARTAN-IV program''' is the fourth iteration of the [[SPARTAN programs|SPARTAN supersoldier projects]]. Like the original [[ORION Project]], the SPARTAN-IV program utilizes consenting adult volunteers selected from the other branches of the [[United Nations Space Command]], in contrast to the previous two programs which used children as candidates.<ref name="glass434">'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 434''</ref> Recruits are drawn from both career military veterans and young soldiers who show considerable promise.<ref name="EH">'''[[Eleventh Hour reports]]''', ''part 3''</ref>

With the dying Victor's parents having already agreed on his behalf, ONI started the augmentations before they told the other three which appeared to be working.
