Thom's replacement, SPARTAN-B312, also wore a largely unaltered set of Mark V armor. While most members of NOBLE Team modified their Mark V suits to varying extents, Thom-A293 wore a full, unaltered set of Mark V armor. Mark V was the standard Mjolnir variant issued to Spartans assigned to SPECWAR Group Three, including NOBLE Team. The Mark V helmet's only adopter was SPECWAR Group Three. The Mark V entered service with the Spartan-IIs and select Spartan-IIIs on November 24, 2551. Fred continued to wear the armor during this battle when Blue Team was sent to evacuate the survivors from the Corbulo Academy of Military Science. The Mark IV(b)'s first known use was by Frederic-104 during an operation against Insurrectionists sometime before the Battle of Circinius IV on April 26, 2526. The physical architecture of two later MJOLNIR variants, Mjolnir Mark VII prototypes and DECIMATOR-class Mjolnir, closely resembled the design of Mark V. The development of Mark V was conducted in secret, with its prototypes tested by Spartan-III personnel. Development history Īlong with the Security and Rogue variants, the Mark V was designed and manufactured by private organizations hired by the UNSC rather than developed by the Materials Group due to numerous problems with funding. This did not come to fruition until John-117 and Cortana successfully tested the final Mark V on August 29, 2552.

The only major difference between the two is the variant's lack of an accompanying upgrade to the wearer's neural lace enabling the wearer to interface with a smart AI.
The Mark V is largely similar to the final version of the Mark V. While its physical architecture is derived from the Mark IV(b), the Mark V was the first mainline model of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor to incorporate energy shielding technology.
