Ok people heres the lowdown (as far as info from the books is provided). The MARK I suits were designed for combat, but either needed thier own generator to run them or some sorta wide broadcast power thingy (read FoR). The project was scrapped because they were so ineffecient and bulky, and many were retired to lifting containers and doing mining work. Later, ONI took em back for training purposes with the Spartans after their augumentation. 3 trainers had been killed so the trainers were using the suits. As for MARK II and III, i would assume that these were prototypes that couldnt be utilized by human beings (the Spartans have problems at the beggining with thier own suits).
