This version of the BDU lacks the prominent shin armor used with other models, with only the upper shin being armored. This version also lacks thigh armor, though some Marines wear lightly armored holsters on their thighs. The BDU has black knee and elbow pads, although they are only lightly armored. The uniform also includes armored pauldrons. The [[VZG7 boots]] worn with the system are covered in light armor plating. Marines often wear fingerless gloves with this model. | This version of the BDU lacks the prominent shin armor used with other models, with only the upper shin being armored.

The armor used in training officer cadets at the [[Corbulo Academy of Military Science]] in [[2526]] appeared to be a smaller, lighter version of the standard M52B armor and bore the Academy's emblem on the chest plate. It shared the shoulder pauldrons of the full-sized model.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ca3Y8Ws3plI '''Youtube''' ''Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn Official Full-length Trailer'']</ref> | The armor used in training officer cadets at the [[Corbulo Academy of Military Science]] in [[2526]] appeared to be a smaller, lighter version of the standard M52B armor and bore the Academy's emblem on the chest plate.
