The Spartan-II Class V Program was a part of the SPARTAN-II super soldier project. This program was built alongside the Class II program in 2536, subheading the productions of Class III, which was "failing" at that time, and Class IV, which had recruited Marines and an old SPARTAN-I.

Introduction
The fifth generation of SPARTAN-IIs were proposed in 2536 and along with Classes I,II,and III, had kidnapped children at the age of 5 or 6. The intent of the program was to make two large groups of SPARTAN-IIs to win large battles by sheer strength and numbers. By 2537, only one year after the program was created, found 120 suitable candidates for the program. Though funds were down at the time, the success of Class I, motivated the creation of this class. They were to be trained on a backwater planet known as Gestalt.

Recruitment
Like the Class I and subsequent projects, the "requirements" were heavily restricted. ONI had decided that opening up the restrictions a little would mean more candidates. Unfortunately, this also came with the problem of surviving augmentations. Nonetheless, ONI went through with the plan.
