Another variant, which is issued to unit commanders,<ref name="Armory"/> features [[External Command Network Module|Command Network Module-Improved]] on the right side.

The reactor of the GEN2 version of the OPERATOR armor is a low-set reactor pack. The helmet has a PV-20, which is a set of dual-locked rebreathers generally worn by [[pilot]]s. The visor has an open visor view-plate for increased range of spectrum. The chest has external harness bracers. Twin-release cables on the chest route energy expenditure to reserve systems.<ref name="H4EVG"/>

Sometime after the [[Fall of Reach]], the Operator armor was taken over by the [[Naphtali Contractor Corporation]], after the abandonment of all CDS facilities on [[Meridian]], and was tested extensively with live fire exercises in the NCC's abandoned shipyards on the outskirts of Abilene.<ref name="H4 Armory"/> Unlike its predecessor, it optimizes a [[Spartan]] for the operation and control of vehicles.<ref name="Bulletin 8.15.2012">[https://halo.xbox.com/blogs/Headlines/post/2012/08/15/The-Halo-Bulletin-81512.aspx '''Halo Waypoint:''' ''The Halo Bulletin 8.15.2012'']</Ref>
