The Elephant is a large, multi-level vehicle driven by eight sets of treads - used to move the vehicle's massive bulk across terrain. The aft of the vehicle is an open-bed cargo bay, featuring a ramp to allow access for personnel and small reconnaissance vehicles (such as [[Mongoose]]s). The cargo bed contains a readout screen that displays status information on the vehicle and surrounding environment, alongside several [[List of UNSC crates|equipment crates]] built into the external walls, including [[M52B body armor]], [[CH252 helmet]]s, | The Elephant is a large, multi-level vehicle driven by eight sets of treads - used to move the vehicle's massive bulk across terrain.

A Vulcan LAAG turret overwatch station at the top of the vehicle provides a surrounding view of the area, allowing the Elephant to perform its MASR functions with some defensive options available.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | ||
The chassis of the vehicle is heavily-armoured, allowing it to traverse the front lines to transport troops, light vehicles, and cargo to and from the battlefield. The cargo bed is capable of housing up to 16 infantry personnel, and up to six [[Mongoose]] recon ATVs or two [[Warthog]] FAVs. The vehicle's heavy armour and advanced electronic communications systems (capable of operating in conditions that would hinder most other [[UNSC battle network|network systems]]) also allows it to be deployed into the front lines as a mobile command post for front-line officers.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc09}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}} | The chassis of the vehicle is heavily-armoured, allowing it to traverse the front lines to transport troops, light vehicles, and cargo to and from the battlefield.
