Spartan Medical Corps or Spartan Specialists Corps?

Night Stalker 0722 · Feb 24, 2011

Ok, so I've been going over this Idea with some of the guys/girls here on the 405th forum, about an idea to create a specialized Spartan group.

I would like the group to be focused around the medicinal field, but the thought of having a group that has multiple specialized fields in it interests me as well.

So what are you guys/gals thoughts? What do you think?

Well, I think if we were to make a specialized spartan group, i think we should stick to actual military history when it comes to it... in the real military, this isn't any specific medical corps, but instead multiple branches of the military with a sub category that INCLUDES a medicinal field that has to do with that particular branch (Air Force has medical evac, Marines have field medics, etc.) The Spartans are in and of them selves a specialized unit, but they all just fight with the Marines and the ODST. If there were to be a specialized Corps, it would be (INSERT CORPS NAME HERE) Medical Corps. At least that's how I look at it. (kinda like how the marines are part of the navy, but are still called marines, and then within the marines there are the Green Beret's) So you would have a general name for the Corps, and then specified sub-catagories within that corps.

That sounds reasonable. Now all we need to do is come up with a name.

Here are some cool names:

Epoch
Aeon
Xenogamy
Austere

interesting idea but the flaws with it are. Spartans were trained to be Specialists in Combat I don't think the UNSC would use their resources training and giving them Mjolnir armor to have them run around the field patching anybody they could. Spartans were also trained to complete a mission even at the cost of their lives. Im sure they were trained in first aid but they probably just rely on the biofoam as a way to patch people up and hold them together until they either complete the mission or move to a place for actual hospital care.

Just trying help you clear things up. Marines are not part of the Navy. They just use alot of the Navy's equipment. The Green Beret's are one of the elite forces of the Army. The Marines have Force Recon as their elite force.

As for the "(INSERT CORPS NAME HERE) Medical Corps", correct me if I'm wrong, arn't the Spartians part of the Marines, or are they a completly different militay branch altogether?

So why dont we just go with what the Marines call there medics, Corpsman!

The SPARTAN program is, I believe, part of the UNSC's Navy Special Warfare/ONI Section 3 (Master Chief Petty Officer is a Navy rank). Then, Noble team is commanded by an Army colonel, so I'm not entirely sure how that works. The Halo canon and modern military don't necessarily have to match up perfectly.

I agree on the point that Spartans are more likely to be trained as Sappers/Combat Engineers/pilots than any kind of medic, but the concept is still cool and to be honest, I wouldn't be thinking about all these facts if I ran into a medic spartan at a con. There are also plenty of other mission-specialized perms for MJOLNIR armor of course like EOD, Security, or even MP

Actually the Spartans operate under both the ONI branch and the Navy. Which is why John (Spartan-117) is ranked Master Chief Petty Officer.

The UNSC's main attack forces are both the Navy (space and water) and Marines (which are the grunts of the military), they both work in unison. The UNSC's Army was basically disbanded after the Battle of Reach.

Dude that pic is epic, but I would replace the helmet and swords with the actual Spartan Insignia (Just the Eagle, arrows and lightening bolt)

If that doesn't look good then keep the original. ^_^

Just trying to help you clear things up, the Marines' medics aren't Marines. They're sailors in the Naval Hospital Corps. The US Marine Corps has no integral, dedicated medical infrastructure of its own. These facilities and personnel are provided by the Navy. So if you look for a "medic" among US Marines, you'll find a sailor dressed in Marine Corps MARPAT digital camo wearing navy rank insignia referred to as "corpsman."

If the Spartans are analagous to Special Forces troops (as are the ODSTs) there would likely be no medics. Special Forces units usually operate in very small units with no dedicated medic. Instead, they all receive "combat lifesaver" training well above and beyond the first aid training which typical soldiers get.

Still, dressing a set of Mjolnir armor with medical insignia might be fun.

well i just thought to use that one because it had the spartan helmet, but im not good at photoshop so if you put your spartan insignia in it i would use it

Im totally doin that
We should get a division badge, (405th medical corps) or somethin, and the little red +.

costumer99 · Mar 4, 2011

I would just keep the whole insignia, but replace the greek helmet with a MKVI helmet

thats a good idea too but the deatail might be tough for a stencil

Devious · Mar 4, 2011

The original Spartans were Greek, so you could keep it the same.

I have a Greek idea for the name too. Militaries would often name ships, weapons, or divisions after mythological deities and creatures. The Greek god for healing was apollo. He had many names depending on the role he was assuming. One of his names as healer was "Acesius"we could call this division, the "Acesian Medical Corps". Acesius is greek for healer.

I did not know that! I just learned something new today! Thank you

hellphoenix36 · Mar 5, 2011

To everyone on this thread who corrected me for my military mistakes, thank you very much. I don't really know that much about military, so thanks for the correction. However, i'm sure my point came across appropriatly xD However, i think the idea of a medic is probably closer to a supporting spartan for long hauls, which would most likely be more akin to Spartan III's instead of Spartan II's

EDIT: I whipped this up in about 10 minutes, so forgive me if it's bad, but what about this night stalker?

wow dude thats kick ass, but i still see some stuff like the lights on the helmet would be tough to get out and cutting out the helmet part but leaving the visor part in for stenciling, unless if we could make this a patch and put it on to velcro on a medic bag or something

Here is a screen cap of one of the "Medics" dressed as a Marine but most likely a Navy hospital corpsman based on their real life counterparts.

Spartan Medical Corps or Spartan Specialists Corps?
