After the first wave of [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|GEN2]] systems, based on requests of veteran [[Spartan-II]] and [[Spartan-III]] operatives, the [[UNSC Ordnance Commission]] considered reassessing a refined and upgraded version of the Mark V version of this suit.

===Design details===
The Air Assault helmet's superficial design remained largely unchanged during the transition from GEN1 to GEN2. The GEN2 Air Assault helmet is equipped with a long range integrated comm network. The new pauldrons seem to have succeeded the GEN1 [[FJ/PARA]] in design and function as they have a low-drag pauldron system. The chest has a locking retrieval brace.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}

The ''Halo 4'' design of Air Assault returned in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'' as an [[Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|armor permutation]] unlockable via the [[Requisition system]]. The Air Assault body component consists of the Air Assault chest and legs, with the [[RICOCHET-class Mjolnir|Ricochet]] forearms and [[RG-63 Counter]] legs. The ''Halo: Reach'' design of GEN1-styled Air Assault - modelled after the armor design employed by Kat-B320 in ''Reach'' - returned to ''Halo 5'' rebranded as the [[INTRUDER-class Mjolnir|Intruder]] armor.
