COMMANDO-class Mjolnir

''This article is about the commando armor from Halo: Reach. Were you looking for the commando harness from Halo 3?''

The MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/K variant, also known as the Commando armor, is a variant of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor that was designed for special operations.

GEN1
The K variant was developed at the Special Warfare Center in Seongnam, United Korea, to aid Spartan supersoldiers in specialized assaults on conventional military targets. When production for the K variant was approved, Chalybs Defense Solutions was awarded the contract to manufacture the armor, with final testing conducted at the Chalybs Testing Preserve. The Mark IV version, which was simply a modification to the MJOLNIR suit rather than a distinct variant, was first deployed during the siege of the Inner Colonies relatively late in the Human-Covenant War. The Mark V[B] version was introduced near the end of the war in November 2551. Unlike the previous iteration the Mark V version was designed as a fully featured variant of the Mark V system.

GEN2
Naphtali Contractor Corporation began production of the GEN2 of the Commando armor. NCC's version includes a helmet, torso armor, and shoulder pauldrons. The GEN2/K variant is loosely based on its GEN1 predecessor.

Design
The K variant's helmet is designed to improve a Spartan's tactical awareness, without the use of the modular packages that can be added to the MJOLNIR platform. The Commando helmet package includes the most comprehensive, up-to-date tactical hardware and software systems. The variant's shoulder pauldrons offer excellent protection at the cost of limited joint mobility. The field support attachment provides additional functionality to the MJOLNIR armor.

The helmet resembles the HAZOP helmet with a small area of black polymer at the bottom of the visor. The base Commando helmet has a HUL[3] already attached, making it one of only three base helmets to have an attachment, the others being the Beta-5 Operator helmet, which has a goggle-like attachment, and the EOD helmet, which has a CBRN module.

Two upgrades are available for the helmet. The first, CBRN/CNM, replaces the HUL[3] attachment with a CBRN apparatus featuring an External Command Network Module on the left side. The second, UA/FC-I[2], adds an up-armor plate with a third-generation Hardened Uplink Module on the right side and a Command Network Module on the left side.

The Commando shoulder pauldron is also unlocked at the rank of Commander. It is characterized by a large curved plate of armor set on the standard base, which connects it to the Spartan's shoulder. It is noticeably large and is placed high on the Spartan's arm. It is one of few shoulder pieces that utilizes the player's selected secondary color instead of his or her primary color.
