The Spartan-III augmentation procedures were a significant improvement over the SPARTAN-II augmentation procedures, developed by Dr. Catherine Halsey. The genetic requirements for the augmentation procedures were broader than that of the previous SPARTAN Program augmentations. However, the genetic requirement protocols still could not be deviated from, otherwise the failure rate would be increased drastically. While Dr. Halsey's Criteria for the Spartan-IIs emphasized specific physical robustness and mental fortitude in order to achieve physiological compatibility with the augmentations, the Spartan-IIIs' screening protocols were more lenient, due to advances in technology. As a result, the candidate pool for the SPARTAN-III Program was less physically and physiologically consistent, with
