| | ==Description== |
| | | The M12R LAAV is designed to quickly and efficiently defeat lightly armored vehicles such as the [[Type-48 Light Assault Gun Carriage|Type-48 ''"Revenant"'']] and the [[Type-32 Rapid Assault Vehicle|Type-32 ''"Ghost"'']]. The M12R LAAV differs from the basic M12 Force Application Vehicle only in its armament, a single [[M79 Multiple Launch Rocket System]] which fires six 65mm rockets per volley every two to three seconds. The M79 MLRS' rockets are capable of achieving target lock on aircraft, though they can not lock onto ground vehicles. |
| ==Design details==
| |
| The M12R LAAV is designed to quickly and efficiently defeat lightly armored vehicles such as the [[Rizvum-pattern Revenant|Type-48 Revenant]] and the {{Pattern|Karo'etba|Ghost}}. The M12R LAAV differs from the basic M12 LRV only in its armament, a single M79 Multiple Launch Rocket System which fires six [[Argent V missile|65mm Argent V rockets]] per volley every two to three seconds. The M79 MLRS' rockets are capable of achieving target lock on aircraft, though they cannot lock onto ground vehicles. | |
| | |
| ==Operational history==
| |
| During the UNSC's [[Battle at Szurdok Ridge|counterattack]] against the Covenant at [[Szurdok Ridge]] during the [[Fall of Reach]] in [[2552#August|August 12, 2552]], an M12R was deployed with a single [[UNSC Army|soldier]] mounted on the rocket launcher for use by [[NOBLE Team]]'s [[Catherine-B320]] and [[SPARTAN-B312]] after their [[M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle]] had been destroyed and they had to fend off Covenant infantry and turrets.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[Tip of the Spear]]''</ref>
| |
| | |
| During the [[Post-Covenant War conflicts|hostilities]] with the [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|reformed Covenant]], many of these vehicles participated in the [[Battle of Requiem|battle]] and [[Requiem Campaign|campaign]] fought on the [[Forerunner]] [[shield world]] [[Requiem]] in [[2557]] and [[2558]], respectively. Several were used by [[Fireteam Crimson]] during their missions, including the clearing of the location known as Quarry and the defense of Cauldron Base.<ref>'''Halo 4''', ''[[Spartan Ops]]''</ref>

| | |
| ==Variants==
| |
| *'''Corp Rocket Warthog''' - A few credits in the right hands and even a missile platform can be ruled to have a legitimate use by corporate entities. Features extra armor and is used by the [[Liang Dortmund Corporation]].<ref name="H5G">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'''</ref>
| |
| *'''Tundra Rocket Warthog''' - A tundra camouflaged variant used by the UNSC. Features better armor than the Corp Hog.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}}
| |
| *'''Urban Rocket Warthog''' - An urban camouflaged variant used by the UNSC. Features better armor than the Corp Hog.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}}
| |
| *'''Woodland Rocket Warthog''' - A woodland camouflaged variant used by the UNSC. Features better armor than the Corp Hog.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}}
| |
| *'''ONI Rocket Warthog''' - ONI Rocket Warthogs use multi-role missiles that can lock on to both ground and air targets. Features better armor than the camouflaged models.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}}
| |
| *'''Vespin Warthog''' - UNSC expeditionary forces allied with [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]]'s [[Swords of Sanghelios]] conduct joint patrols to monitor and defend the [[Sanghelios]] badlands from [[Covenant remnants]] and [[Created]] scouts. Named after a particularly [[Vespin|deadly pseudo-arachnid]] that often lairs in the ancient temple complexes used as staging areas, the Vespin Warthog can deal a deadly defensive sting against any local predator, living or construct. The Vespin M-12 is an improved Warthog with high-acceleration rockets and faster reload time.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-driving-force'''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Canon Fodder: Driving Force'']</ref>
