After the success of the Spartan-II program, ONI made the decision that more Spartans were needed to combat the Covenant, as the Human race was losing the war. They devised the plan of making more Spartan-IIs, but using cheaper technologies and training them quicker, creating 'Disposable Heroes'. Spartan-III's were produced more quickly then the previous Spartan-IIs, and more abundant as well.
