what was the spartan 1 program?
The ORION Project was an ONI Naval Warfare project aimed at counter-insurgency operations. After the formation of the S-II Program, the ORION Project was retroactively dubbed the SPARTAN-I program.
The members of the ORION program were augmented soldiers, using new training methods and the latest breakthroughs in biochemical developments. Augmentations to the ORION soldiers included muscular enhancement injections, pulmonary respiratory enhancements, retina-inversion injections and cochlea enhancement tuning. In addition, mental augmentations were performed to enhance brain functions including enhanced learning capabilities to allow a subject to learn at a faster and higher rate and enhanced motor skills to improve body movements. The ORION training regime was very difficult and included many tests both mental and physical, including work done in the lab. All sixty-five initial volunteers made it through the training and augmentation procedures and were placed on active duty some time after completing their training. After their initial deployment and success, funding for training the next group of SPARTAN-Is was approved, and within a few years the ORION program had one-hundred-sixty-five active duty personnel.
Srg. Avery Johnson was a Spartan-I.
so exactly what happened? They stopped to start the Spartan II and III programs?
It was stopped in 2502, because it had bad side effects including mental instabilities. all S-1 soldiers (except Srg. Johnson) were then retired and they made a family, then again their children had to be visited by a doctor regularly.
Impressive Path of Hope. Judging by the time on your replies it is obvious you know your stuff.
Wow, I have a lot to learn.
