Unrealistic for several reasons.

1. Role. Special Forces Operators do not participate in Law Enforcement, exploration, or recolonisation; the latter two are reserved for government contractors, whilst the first is delegated to actual Law Enforcement Officers. Using them in such a role would be a waste of the time and money spent creating them. In addition, the proper term is "Counter-Terrorism."

2. "A month after the suicide mission, Lord Hood realized a new military was needed, seeing most of the current military was dying because of disease, hunger, and age."

Err... that entire sentence makes no sense at all. There was no mass-disease at the end of the Human-Covenant War, and while there may have been food shortages, there weren't any so massive that the entire Armed Forces crumbled (even in Halo 3, the UNSC is still a highly efficient military force). In addition, rather than mass-recruiting droves of orphans to convert them into expensive Super Soldiers, it's much more likely the UNSC would simply draft able-bodied young adults, as most militaries do during war time.

3. For unaugmented, conscripted orphans, a ten mile run would be impossible. It would be applicable to able-bodied recruits, but to children of 4-6 years of age, most of them would likely collapse or expire. I suggest you change that.

4. Unless each and every one of them missed every shot they fired, then there would undoubtedly be casualties in a live fire exercise with no body armour issued.

5. Why enhance the sense of touch? Doing so would most likely make their entire bodies extremely sensitive, meaning that they'd die of shock or black out once they were shot or even struck.

6. A platoon is by no means 100 members strong. A more proper formation of that level would be a Company.
