Template:Article Quote The MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Recruit is a variant of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2). It is the standard armor for all newly recruited SPARTAN-IV personnel.[1][2]
Overview
The Recruit variant was manufactured by Hannibal Weapon Systems and was tested at Kotka, Pori on New Carthage. Newly inducted Spartans are required to use the Recruit-class armor for an individually determined time frame before requisitioning custom kits.[1] The standard color scheme for Recruit-equipped Spartans aboard Template:UNSCship consists of orange-yellow stripes at various points, most notably along the center of the helmet, though the suit remains largely unpainted.[note 1] Whether this color scheme is common among all recently inducted SPARTAN-IVs is unknown.
