'''COMMANDO-class Mjolnir''', also designated as the '''MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/K variant''', is a [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR armor]] variant originally designed by [[Chalybs Defense Solutions]] and [[Special Warfare Center]],{{Ref/Reuse|Id=EVG}} with the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|GEN2]] version being manufactured by the [[Naphtali Contractor Corporation]].{{Ref/Reuse|Id=H4EVG}}

==GEN1 overview==
===Specifications===
The K variant's helmet is designed to improve a Spartan's tactical awareness without the use of the modular packages that can be added to the MJOLNIR platform. The Commando helmet package includes the most comprehensive, up-to-date tactical hardware and software systems.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=EVG}} The variant's shoulder pauldrons offer excellent protection at the cost of limited joint mobility. The field support attachment provides additional functionality to the MJOLNIR armor.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=EVG}}

===Development history===
The K variant was developed at the [[Special Warfare Center]] in [[Seongnam]], [[United Korea]], to aid [[Spartan]] supersoldiers in specialized assaults on conventional military targets. When production for the K variant was approved, Chalybs Defense Solutions was awarded the contract to manufacture the armor, with final testing conducted at the [[Chalybs Testing Preserve]].{{Ref/Reuse|Id=EVG}}

The [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV|Mark IV]] version, which was simply a modification to the MJOLNIR suit rather than a distinct variant,{{Ref/Reuse|Id=EVG}}{{Ref/Note|In ''Birth of a Spartan'' Carter-A259's Mark IV/K prototype is identical to the Mark V version that he used later in the war, despite ''The Essential Visual Guide'' stating that the Mark IV/K was an ''ad hoc'' modification of the contemporary Mark IV suit. [[Frank O'Connor]] has stated that this suit was a prototype that was still being researched and did not see deployment for some time.}} originated as a prototype for standardized team leader kits.<ref name="h4guide">[[Halo 4 Interactive Guide#Armor Types|''Halo 4 Interactive Guide'' - Armor Types: Commando]]</ref> The [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V(B)|Mark V[B]]] version was introduced near the end of the war in [[2551#November|November 2551]] due to the success of the Mark IV ''ad hoc''. Unlike the previous iteration, the Mark V version was designed as a fully featured variant of the Mark V system.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=EVG}} It was first deployed during the siege of the [[Inner Colonies]] relatively late in the [[Human-Covenant War]].{{Ref/Reuse|Id=EVG}}

===Usage===
Several Spartans and team leaders made use of this system. [[Frederic-104]] wore a Mark IV/K helmet during Battle of Sigma Octanus IV.{{Ref/Comic|FoRInv|[[Halo: The Fall of Reach - Invasion]]|Issue=#1}} [[Carter-A259]] led [[Noble Team]] through several operations wearing the armor during the Human-Covenant War.{{Ref/Game|[[Halo: Reach]]}}

===Specifications===
[[File:Fireteam Bailey and DeMarco.jpg|thumb|300px|A Spartan-IV from Fireteam Bailey wearing a green-colored GEN2 Commando armor on Ealen IV.]]
[[Naphtali Contractor Corporation]]'s version includes a helmet, torso armor, and shoulder pauldrons. The GEN2 variant is loosely based on its GEN1 predecessor.{{Ref/Game|Id=H4|Game=H4|Section=Armor permutations (Halo 4)|SectionLinkText=Spartan Armor Customization|Detail=Commando Description}}

The helmet has a built in [[Command Network Module|CNM]] suite for tactical application; this enables real-time synchronization with the [[UNSC battle network|UNSC battlenet]].{{Ref/Game|Id=H5G|Game=H5G|Section=Armor permutations (Halo 5: Guardians)|SectionLinkText=Spartan Appearance Customization|Detail=Commando Description}} The helmet also has field elaboration software for real-time combat intelligence modification. The body has a wide-range fireteam allocation module.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=H4EVG}}

Though the GEN2 COMMANDO-class suite only vaguely resembles its Mark V predecessor, the GEN2 [[NOBLE-class Mjolnir]] is a recreation of the Mark V/K's external architecture.{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-under-locke-keynote|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Under Locke & Keynote}}

===Development history===
After [[Meridian]] fell, all contracts that Chalybs had were absorbed into companies that survived the war. NCC was the company that got a hold of Commando and started to circumvent its GEN1 limitations, making the armor more open for more users, and beginning production of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|GEN2]] of the Commando armor.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=H4EVG}} This acquisition of Chalybs' original COMMANDO designs also allowed NCC to bring their GEN2 Mjolnir armor to market several months ahead of schedule.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}}

Testing for the armor began at the [[Buffalo Breaker Yards]].{{Ref/Reuse|Id=H4EVG}}

===Usage===
While the armor was made more open for more users, many team leaders still opt to use Commando systems possibly out of tradition.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=H4EVG}} A [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan-IV]] from [[Fireteam Bailey]] wore a green-colored GEN2 Commando armor during the [[Battle of Ealen IV]].{{Ref/Comic|Id=escalation|[[Halo: Escalation]]|Issue=[[Halo: Escalation Issue 1|#1]]}}

==In-game information==
===''Halo: Reach''===
The Commando helmet can be viewed in the [[Armor customization (Halo: Reach)|Armory]] at the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and can be unlocked once at the rank of Commander. All Commando armor types are unlockable in the game's purchase system via the use of [[Credits|cR]]. In ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'', the Commando set is attainable in the [[Season 1: Noble]] progression system. 

The helmet resembles the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/HAZOP variant|HAZOP helmet]] with a small area of black polymer at the bottom of the visor. The base Commando helmet has a HUL[3] already attached, making it one of only three base helmets to have an attachment, the others being the [[Beta-5 Division|Beta-5]] [[Asymmetrical Action Group Operator armor|Operator]] helmet, which has a goggle-like attachment, and the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/EOD variant|EOD]] helmet, which has a CBRN module. Two upgrades are available for the helmet. The first, CBRN/CNM, replaces the HUL[3] attachment with a [[Wikipedia:Chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear|CBRN]] apparatus featuring an [[Command Network Module]] on the left side. The second, UA/FC-I[2], adds an [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/UA|up-armor plate]] with a third-generation Hardened Uplink Module on the right side and a Command Network Module on the left side.

The shoulder pauldron is characterized by a large curved plate of armor set on the standard base, which connects it to the Spartan's shoulder. It is noticeably large and is placed high on the Spartan's arm. It is one of few shoulder pieces that utilizes the player's selected secondary color instead of their primary color.

===''Halo 5: Guardians'' - GEN2===
The ''Halo 4'' design of Commando returns in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''. The helmet and body armor are unlockable through the [[Requisition system]]. The body armor includes the Commando chest and shoulders, the [[RICOCHET-class Mjolnir|Ricochet]] forearms and [[RECRUIT-class Mjolnir|Recruit]] legs. The helmet of [[NOBLE-class Mjolnir]] was based on the GEN1 design seen in ''Halo: Reach''. The GEN2 Commando set has three skins: Verde, Arius, and Matrix.
