Hi, I’m currently writing a Halo story and was wondering what ranks Spartans are what rank a spartan fire-team leader would have to be.
Thanks.
Depends on which generation of Spartans you’re talking about, mate. Spartan-IIs still use the old UNSC Naval rank structure, but it’s proven to be based more on respect than rank, as Fred-104 is a Lieutenant Junior Grade/O-2, yet he takes his cues from John-117, who is a Master Chief (Petty Officer)/E-9.
The Spartan III NOBLE Team had ranks including Carter-A259 (Commander/O-5), Cat-B320 (Lt Commander/O-4), Emile-A239 (Warrant Officer/WO-?), Jorge-052 (Chief Warrant Officer/CWO), Jun-A266 (Warrant Officer/WO-?), and Noble Six-B312 (Lieutenant/O-3).
The new Spartan-IVs seem to have a more informal rank system, abolishing a traditional rank structure for a more communal one where everyone is referred to as “Spartan (name),” though certain individuals are acknowledged as having leadership over other individuals within the organization (whether it be Locke over FT Osiris, or Sarah Palmer over all Infinity Spartan teams). This makes it easy to use ranks for Spartan-IVs…because they basically don’t have any lol
The average team leader for a Spartan-II/III fireteam, however, would likely be anywhere between a Chief Petty Officer to a Commander. In real-life Navy SEAL teams, most teams are led by a Lieutenant or Lt. Commander, with a Chief Petty Officer below them as their adjutant.
Thanks
My previous post will help you settle the types of ranks each generation of Spartan may hold, but I should probably include this official UNSC Rank Structure link (from the Halo Encyclopedia) that lists out all of the ranks to help you line up where each rank fits into the structure.
Spartan team leadership (those who command their deployments) can vary widely too, ranging from UEG officials to ONI to upper-level officers and even a few senior enlisted in some cases. Spartan NOBLE Team, for example, was under the direction of Colonel Holland (UNSC Army/O-6) who was the commander of Special Warfare Group Three, although it’s assumed he had other teams under his command as well, since the Spartan-IIs were also under SWG-3 at the time.
Additionally, it is established that all Spartan-IIs attain the rank of Petty Officer Second Class (E-5) upon graduation, although some were then ascended to higher ranks (like Fred-104, Kurt-051, Carter-A259, and others) because of their effective leadership capabilities, but it should be noted that (presumably) all of the Spartans have been promoted at least once in their many years of service.
(I’m being a little long-winded, but I’m trying to be thorough lol I hope it helps. Let me know if there’s anything else you want to get more specific on and we’ll dive into it)

Its hard for me to follow sometimes cause i’m used to Canadian military ranks and they use American ranks.

Look at the nato rank codes to see the comparison

um… Spartan IIs fell under Naval Special Weapons which was in turn under trilateral command between Naval Special Warfare Command/ONI Section III and Unified Ground Command. This goes for 99% of Spartan IIIs as well before they were folded into the Spartan Branch. The only units attached to Special Warfare Group-3 was Team Noble so they weren’t sent on the suicide operations that would traditionally be the job for IIIs
Well Spartans do have the SR system. 1 to 152
This system once Spartans make it to SR-50 have an option to go onto Specializations.
Pretty much Halo 4’s Multiplayer is the closest we have to a internal ranking system. Despite the SR system not being related to ranks. But more skill.

I did unwittingly overreach SWG-3’s roster (mis-remembered SWC as SWG). And I wouldn’t say that NOBLE Team was the only unit assigned to SWG-3, because we know of at least one other (“3 Charlie” from the UNSC Army present at the Fall of Reach), and that they often operated with non-Spartan personnel, so it’s fair to assume that they weren’t the only team on the roster. Likewise, you wouldn’t have only a single fireteam in a group. The US Navy SEAL Teams, for example, have eight full teams, with each team having six platoons under its direct command. The only group in the US NSW Command to have a single element is (ironically) NSW Group 3, although that one is non-combat and so specialized that they only ‘need’ one of them. Since Noble Team is a direct action/combat asset, they would be assigned to the equivalent of US Navy NSW Group 1 or 2, which have several elements on their roster. Even SEAL Team 6, which may be referred to as a single asset, has 4-5 operations platoons of many men each.

Sorry yeah when I said the only unit apart of SWG-3 I meant the only known Spartan Unit apart of SWG-3
I was a spartan 3 in reach if it counts i am god at leading tropes and i know
i was a o.n.i officer my code is 73798-29 my rank was sargent frst class before
it was taken out of you know fell out apart the things i am good at forge and swat (im good at head shots mostly )
