Whether the Mandalorian is a Warrior or not, the individual would still be considered a Mandalorian Protector. Shock troopers, while "qualified" to wear Mandalorian Armor, are not typically seen wearing full armored suits.

Usually, a shock trooper will be found with the core essential component pieces of armor, such as a breast plate.

| abstract | - A Mandalorian Warrior is a man, or woman, experienced enough in training to wear a full suit of Mandalorian Armor. Whether the Mandalorian is a Warrior or not, the individual would still be considered a Mandalorian Protector. As Mandalore Cadden Blackthorne reunited the clans, he set forth in motion a new plan to help non-battle-ready individuals progress to the status of a true warrior. The system that was developed was that of the Mandalorian "shock troopers", lead by Gandon Belak. Also, during this time, of the 9,700 individuals trained as shock troopers, five hundred were set aside afterwards for extensive training as supercommandos, making them the first of a new breed. Many of these supercommandos participated in the battles to conclude the reuniting of the clans. Shock troopers, while "qualified" to wear Mandalorian Armor, are not typically seen wearing full armored suits. And, if they do, it's typically of another material, or, depending on the user's preference, another design. Usually, a shock trooper will be found with the core essential component pieces of armor, such as a breast plate. Some shock troopers go on to become supercommandos. All Mandalorian supercommandos craft their own full set of body armor, something of a "rite of passage", much like the Jedi and their lightsabers. This armor is almost always of Mandalorian Iron make.
