| abstract | - For the most part, research into the creation and deployment of "supersoldier" warfighters was mostly undertaken by the Navy, and produced some spectacular successes. The original Project ORION was taken over from the Colonial Military Administration, and converted into the SPARTAN-I Program, fielding operatives whose effectiveness was unquestionable, despite some severe drawbacks. The later SPARTAN-II and SPARTAN-III Programs would build on the success of ORION, using children to better fit the augmentation requirements, training them and fielding them using state-of-the-art powered armour. The dramatic success of these two programs, both creating and fielding operatives who surpassed any warfighter in the history of human warfare, would play an integral role in the survival of the human race against the Covenant war machine. These were not the only programs, however. The Marine Corps, Army and Air Force all set up their own powered armour and supersoldier programs, with varying degrees of success - the Air Force would abandon its augmentation project, and would eventually adopt the ARONDIGHT series of combat armour systems. Both the Army and the Marine Corps would pour money into augmentation research projects, including GENONE and CHISEL, and set up their own supersoldier programs. The Marine Corps ran TROJAN; the Army set up VOLSUNG, aka. Special Warfare Group Nineteen. Rather than kidnapping more children and training and augmenting them, the initiators of both TROJAN and VOLSUNG decided to return to the roots of the SPARTAN Program - ORION. Former ORION operatives were recruited as advisors and trainers, and volunteers were recruited from each respective branch. While TROJAN would recruit a high number of volunteers, its use of untested augmentation materials and procedures would see a high mortality rate. VOLSUNG would use procedures gained secretly from SPARTAN-III, and would have a much lower mortality rate, only 10%, but assembled a smaller initial roster - only twenty for the first generation of VOLSUNG personnel. Successive generations would improve on these procedures and use more personnel, inverting the trend compared to TROJAN, eventually producing two hundred Volsung personnel, in twenty special warfare teams operated by the UNSC Army. The key difference between TROJAN and VOLSUNG, however, was its development of powered assault armour with which it equipped its field operatives. After the conclusion of the Great War, Operation: VORAUSSICHT would turn its attention to VOLSUNG and TROJAN, and although a small number of personnel were prosecuted for breaching November Black-classified projects, most VOLSUNG personnel would continue to operate, and further generations were approved by CENTCOM.
