The GOLIATH Program was the brainchild of then-Brigadier General Gregor Ashfield of the UNSC Army. In order to combat the mounting Insurrection in the colonies, the Army launched it's own initiative to create augmented supersoldiers. Begun in 2518, the GOLIATH Program was an attempt by the UNSC Army Special Warfare Command under Special Warfare Group Thirteen to produce its own equivalent force to the Navy's successful ORION Project. Several times the idea was passed around by the Special Warfare Command as the Insurrection gathered momentum. As the original idea was examined it was modified, compounded new ideas, and eventually expanded beyond a simple special forces program. Concepts such as powered armor and biological augmentations were eventually incorporated, unaware of the existence

abstract
  • The GOLIATH Program was the brainchild of then-Brigadier General Gregor Ashfield of the UNSC Army. In order to combat the mounting Insurrection in the colonies, the Army launched it's own initiative to create augmented supersoldiers. Begun in 2518, the GOLIATH Program was an attempt by the UNSC Army Special Warfare Command under Special Warfare Group Thirteen to produce its own equivalent force to the Navy's successful ORION Project. Several times the idea was passed around by the Special Warfare Command as the Insurrection gathered momentum. As the original idea was examined it was modified, compounded new ideas, and eventually expanded beyond a simple special forces program. Concepts such as powered armor and biological augmentations were eventually incorporated, unaware of the existence of ONI Section III's Spartan-II Program. But it was not until the Eridanus Insurrection that it was taken into serious consideration. In light of the recent capabilities of the Insurrection, SPECWARCOM wanted an experimental test unit to be ready to partake in the ongoing Operation: TREBUCHET. The results were spectacular, but dangerous. The GOLIATHs proved to be volatile, unstable, and less disciplined. GOLIATH was drawn from consenting—though not entirely aware—adults and the program's developing and admittedly flawed augmentation procedures resulted in side-effects more far reaching then any of their estimates could have predicted. Ultimately, this and other factors contributed to the eventual disbandment of GOLIATH.
