==GEN1 overview==

The helmet was designed to channel the pressure wave of a nearby detonation around the user's head, significantly reducing the likelihood of decapitation in the event of an explosion.{{Ref/Reuse|h3helmet}} The MJOLNIR/EOD variant's pauldrons and chest plate were designed specifically to reduce the number of grabbing edges on the armor, decreasing the likelihood of dismemberment and protecting [[Spartan]]s during operations that involve the handling of explosive ordnance (e.g., clearing/planting land mines, demolishing enemy structures/material and, or planting/defusing bombs).{{Ref/Game|Id=h3shoulder|Game=H3|What=Armor permutations (Halo 3)|WhatText=Spartan Armor Customization|Detail=EOD - Shoulder Description|Quote=Developed at the UNSC Damascus Materials Testing Facility on Chi Ceti 4, the Mjolnir/EOD variant was designed specifically to reduce the number of grabbing edges on the armor, decreasing the likelihood of dismemberment.}}{{Ref/Game|Id=h3chest|Game=H3|What=Armor permutations (Halo 3)|WhatText=Spartan Armor Customization|Detail=EOD - Chest Description|Quote=This variant was designed specifically to protect Spartans during operations involving the handling of explosive ordnance (e.g., cleaning/planting land mines, demolishing enemy structures/materiel).}} The helmet can be fitted with the [[AN/PZY-6011Y TYPHON]] and [[AN/PCK-221 FARNDALE]] Command Network Modules, the [[UA/Type E3|Type E3]] UA module and a [[CBRN module#EOD-style module|CBRN module]].

===Usage===

==GEN2 overview==

The helmet has a pressure-resistant hardened rebreather unit. The reactor has alternating heat-tempered balance drives. The pauldrons are flow-distributing ceramic plates.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}} The GEN2 kit also includes anterior torque couplings.{{Ref/Game|Id=H4LE|[[Halo 4 Limited Edition]]|Detail=[[Infinity Briefing Packet|''Infinity'' briefing packet]]}}

===Development history===

In [[2554]], Abilene's [[Naphtali Contractor Corporation]] took control over the EOD armor's production,{{Ref/Reuse|H4}} and adjusted the systems plate configuration to reduce the potential for dismemberment during explosive ordnance activity and facilitation.{{Ref/Site|Id=h4guide|URL=http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/intel/inteldetail/9c6e4d8c-4060-4751-9f5d-a317fe7ec2c5/eod-|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo 4 Interactive Guide - Armor Types: EOD|D=23|M=4|Y=2013|LocalArchive=Halo 4 Interactive Guide#Armor Types}} It was tested at the [[Buffalo Breaker Yards]]. They proposed numerous enhancements to the armor's systematic approach to the GEN2 framework.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}

==Trivia==

*The Caduceus emblem that appears on the Mark V EOD helmet also appears on med packs, Army medics, and the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Tactical#Tactical/Trauma Kit|Tactical/Trauma Kit]] armor permutation. This suggests that the EOD may also have an intended secondary role to provide medical assistance to wounded allies in dangerous situations. It's possible that there may be a non-MJOLNIR variant of the helmet for use by UNSC medical personnel, likely in toxic environments where the distinctive CBRN would aid in operations.
