The '''MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/G''', also known as '''Grenadier''', is a variant of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV|MJOLNIR Mark IV Powered Assault Armor]].  

==History==

It was introduced in [[2535]], ten years after the first version of MJOLNIR entered service.<ref name="EVG">'''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 84''</ref> The [G] variant served as the basis for all subsequent supplemental armor development programs and is compatible with later models such as the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|Mark V]]. The [G] variant served as a test bed for incorporating [[energy shielding]] technology with the MJOLNIR program,<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', ''Armory''</ref> though these test were not successful;<ref>[[Dr. Halsey's personal journal]]</ref> energy shielding had previously been tested by [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN-II]] [[Red Team]] in [[2531]].<ref>'''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide''', ''page 119'': ''"Energy shielding was a key feature of Mark V, although other Spartan squads had field-tested prototypes of this technology as early as 2531."'' This implicitly refers to Red Team, as the Grenadier variant did not enter service until 2535.</ref> [[Jorge-052]] wore a variant of the Grenadier helmet with the UA (Up-Armored) attachment, as well as the knee guards, left shoulder, and UA chest piece. The shoulder pauldrons for this armor set are categorized as "blast-guard pauldrons".<ref name="EVG"/>

Based on requests of veteran [[Spartan II]] and [[Spartan III]] operatives, the [[UNSC Ordnance Commission]] considered reassessing a refined and upgraded version of this, this lead to the creation of the [[INDOMITABLE-class Mjolnir]].<ref name="CF:Noble">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-noble-intentions '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder 5/6/2016: Noble Intentions'']</ref>

== Trivia ==

*The Grenadier helmet bears a striking resemblance to an early design of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV]] that was removed from ''[[Halo Wars]]''. It also resembles the Mark IV armor worn by [[Gray Team]] as seen on the cover of ''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''.

*In the armory, the Grenadier [UA] chest plate has "052" written on the collar.
