Ok, here is my take on things.
Colonel. Ackerson was especially interested in the Flash Cloning aspect of the Spartans. Imagine it, cloning huge armies of despensible Spartans. An unstobbale force throughout the galaxy. I believe this is the purpose of the Spartan-III program. Which Colonel Ackerson will try to do and become a hero in the UNSC and ONI.
No, S. III is not Spartan 3, all spartans after John and the others are Spartan 2s, it's a codename, that S1s were the ones from ancient Sparta, the new 'era' of spartans will all be called Spartan 2s. Also the flash clones of the Spartans were taken only to cover up the kidnappings, they were not suitable for combat, or even long life.
These things are basic knowledge if you've read the books, I don't understand why some of you guys still get confused.
