Beta-5 Division Ordnance Testing Facility
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Template:Ratings The ONI Ordnance Testing Facility B5D is an Office of Naval Intelligence installation in the Swanbourne, Perth District of Western Australia.
They designed and tested the Mark VI MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/S variant and the Mark VI MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/R variant for the Spartan-IIs [1].
Facility B5D is also the name of a Bungie.net group and separate forum. The group is based around the Recon armor permutation, but participates and organizes other events not about Recon.
It is possible that this facility is a subtle reference to the Australian Special Air Service Regiment, an elite group dedicated to reconnaissance and counterterror operations
