As a byproduct of the Major role, Officers wear more ornamental armor, which functions with no substantial differences to Major Sangheili equipped with the standard combat harness.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}} The officer harness features much more pronounced shoulder pauldrons and a more elaborate helmet with a backward-swept spike in the center.{{Ref/Reuse|Reach}} The design is more standardized than that of ordinary Majors, varying only in color. One color scheme is blood red with a golden tinge and brass-colored highlights;{{Ref/Reuse|Reach}} another is matte burgundy with white accents on the arms and legs, the collar, and the helmet.{{Ref/Game|HCEA|Elite Officer in-game enemy}}

In the [[Post-Covenant War conflicts|post-war]] era, [[United Nations Space Command]] forces have simulated combat against Officers via [[War Games]] simulations. In these simulations, Officers are deployed in [[Commander harness]]es.

Elite Officers were introduced into the ''Halo'' series in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. In-game, Officers serve as the replacement for the series' classic [[Elite Major]]s, though have no particular gameplay differences outside of cosmetic changes. In ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]]'', Officers were used to replace the Majors in the game, albeit with a crimson red colouration as opposed to ''Reach''{{'}}s bronze orange. In ''Anniversary''{{'}}s [[Library (feature)|Library]] function, these elites are still identified as Majors.
