The CH252 Helmet is the standard issue helmet worn by the members of the UNSC Marine Corps and the UNSC Army. It has been in service since the Insurrection.[1] It is an integral component of the Marine and Army Battle Dress Uniforms. The helmet was also worn by the officers of the New Mombasa Police Department.[2] Nicknames for the helmet include "Coconut", "Lid", "Can", and "Pasta Shell".[3]
The standard helmet weighs 3.3 pounds.[4] When worn with the M52B Body Armor, which had become standard-issue for the Marine Corps by late 2552, the helmet is typically painted olive green; prior to the widespread adoption of the M52B armor, the helmet was often painted brown to match its contemporary body armor.[5][6][7][1][8] Within the Army, the helmet is generally painted tan, while grenadiers' helmets are painted dark green and medics' helmets are painted white, also featuring a caduceus.[6] The helmet can be outfitted with ballistic goggles or a heads up display eyepiece that can be polarized either orange or black, as well as a boom microphone. Balaclavas are often worn with the helmet, especially when operating in frigid environments, though they are occasionally worn in temperate climates.[5][8] The helmet can be fully enclosed and environmentally sealed for use with vacuum suits and for terrestrial combat.[6]
