“Make the units better with new technology. Make more of them. And make them cheaper.”
The Spartan-III Program was designed to mimic the success of the Spartan-II Program, with the intention of making cheaper and easier to deploy models of Super Soldiers to aid the UNSC War Effort. While coming from the same style of program, they took in more subjects than the other program, and in doing so, they were weaker than their Precursor Variants.While they were technically considered as slightly augmented high ranking officers in suits, their presence on the battlefield was second to none in securing locations and pushing back opposing forces. The iconic squad of Spartan III's are the Noble Team: Carter, Emile, Jun and Kat, with Jorge coming from the Spartan II program.
In terms of their armour, they have access to a wide variety of armour pieces in which they can alter their appearance. They include but not limited to: AA, CQC, Commando, EOD, EVA, Grenadier, Pilot, Security, there's many variants of armour available to a Spartan. The variants have a design for the Spartan-III's which function as their Super Suits with a moderate powered Energy Shielding.
The Spartans are known for being the only humans aside from ODST's to wield Covenant Weaponry and pilot their vehicles, sometimes even taking some of their weapons to use as their own.
