Spartan IIs are the only soldiers in the UNSC to have the shield ability. Im not sure if the Spartan IIIs do in the book Ghost of Onyx.

I suppose to clean and repair it. There is a story that before battle, Spartan mothers told their sons to either come back victorious or come back carried on their shield.{Spartan mothers would give their sons the shield with the words "Return with it or carried on it!" }
it depends on wether or not the samurai could get past the Spartan's giant pansy shield
A Spartan's shield was his most important piece of military equipment. They used their shields to both attack and defend, defending from enemy strikes and hitting enemies with the shield, stunning them and possibly breaking bones.
The Spartan's were primaraly Hoplites, that means they used to shields called Hoploms and large spears, The shields were important because they helped form the formation as each soldier used his shield to cover the man next to him called a phalanx, And pointed there spears down and marched forward to create a barrier of shield and spear. also because a lone spartan warrior could swing the shield so strong that it could simulate a car crash and kill another warrior
the spartan shield didn't have an A on it. it had a lambda. lambda is the greek letter L, which stood for Laconia, the part of greece where they are from.
