| The '''Mongoose''' is the name given to a series of ultra-light all-terrain utility vehicles employed by several [[human]] organisations. It is popular in both the [[Civilian]] [[Civilian vehicles|market]] and within the [[United Nations Space Command]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/Halo/status/1228363531772481537?s=19 ''Halo on Twitter'':] The Mongoose is an all-terrain quad bike that is wildly popular both on the civilian market and within the UNSC. #FictionFriday</ref> The Mongoose is produced by [[AMG Transport Dynamics]] and has been in service since [[2483]]. Both the civilian and military versions are available with a variety of upgrade packages, including armored body panels, improved suspension systems, and alternate engines. The civilian version is not rated to carry Spartans without risking damage to the frame.{{Ref/Reuse|waypoint}} | | The [[Marine]]s' fastest vehicle is the Mongoose All-Terrain Vehicle. Essentially four wheels and an engine, this ATV can travel very fast over nearly all types of terrain. With no weapons on board, the driver must use his own weapons for defense, though this means taking one hand away from the vehicle's already precarious controls. |

| The Mongoose provides an alternate means of transporting messages, documents, and light cargo between units. It may also be used to transport forward observers, reconnaissance personnel and [[sniper]] teams. Its proven versatility has made it a vital asset to field commanders when used as an alternate means of communication.<ref name="bnet">[http://halo.bungie.net/news/content.aspx?cid=12233 ''Bungie.net'': The Mongoose]</ref> The Mongoose seats one driver and sports a rear cargo rack which can carry weapons, equipment and, if the stirrup tracks are engaged, a passenger. In this configuration, the passenger can fire a weapon from the rear of the M274, effectively arming the vehicle. Field observations have indicated that when two Spartans are operating a Mongoose in this way, it becomes truly formidable, eclipsing its role of basic transportation and becoming something more akin to a force application vehicle.<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/Universe/Detail/mongoose/b5c99753-e4e4-48cd-a2f6-efc2ec3c97e9 ''Halo Waypoint'': Mongoose] (defunct, [[Archive:Halo Waypoint/2009 to 2014/Universe/Vehicles|Archived]])</ref>

| ===M270 Mongoose===
| | [[Category:UNSC]] |
| The '''[[M270 Mongoose]]''' was an early model of Mongoose employed by the UNSC. It served as the organisation's mainstay utility quadbike, until it was replaced by its successor, the M274. It also spawned several civilian variants.{{Ref/Site|Id=CRL|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-cutting-room-lore|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder, Cutting Room Lore|D=26|M=07|Y=22}}
