According to ''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide'', the former helmet's design was influenced by Ushuaia's extensive work on the Marine Corps BDU, and it is implied that the similarities between the AA and ODST helmets are not due to sharing the same design. Given the context of these apparently conflicting statements, it is possible that the AA helmet was not derived from the ODST helmet ''per se'', but was instead intended to possess similar features and functionality, thus resulting in a similar overall appearance.</ref> The helmet was also used by the [[SPARTAN Program|Spartans]], most notably [[Catherine-B320]].
