The Rhino had entered service by February 2531 at the latest. On February 9, 2531, they participated in the [[Battle for Arcadia|invasion of]] [[Arcadia]]. Prior to their arrival, the Covenant established a large base at a [[Arcadia Forerunner ruins|complex]] of [[Forerunner]] ruins near an [[Arcadia ONI facility|ONI base]], over which they deployed an enormous [[Deployment spire|energy shield dome]]. The crew of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}, the only remaining combat-ready UNSC forces in the system, requested several Rhinos from the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}, which had been damaged in the initial stages of the attack. During a costly battle, ''Spirit of Fire''{{'}}s [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] complement, aided by a firebase built nearby, worked to escort the Rhinos into position. Professor [[Ellen Anders]] was able to determine that they needed five of them after an attempt to use three in conjunction with one another caused part of the dome to flicker but not fail. Finally, when five Rhinos were used simultaneously on the dome, they overloaded the shield's power supply and caused a section of it to disappear, allowing the ''Spirit of Fire'' to safely use its [[MAC]] guns to take out the shield generators and Covenant air defenses, destroying the dome.{{Ref/Reuse|Dome}}

Some of these Rhinos were then deployed to the ruins, where the Marines encountered a [[R'awuw-pattern Scarab|Scarab excavation platform]] that was still under construction. The remaining Rhinos then assisted in the destruction of the Scarab.{{Ref/Reuse|Scarab}}
