"Scout" Warthog vehicles could be considered the "default" state of Warthogs, with their primary difference from other variants being their lack of any discernible armament. Removing the primary weapon from the M12 FAV is typically a simple and straightforward operation,<ref>'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''', ''[[List of REQ cards/Vehicles|Woodland Scout Warthog REQ description]]''</ref> allowing for weapons to be removed as seen fit and the bed of the vehicle used for cargo and/ or personnel transportation. When used to transport personnel, a Scout Warthog is capable of supporting at least five people.{{Ref/Reuse|CH19}}{{Ref/Note|In ''Halo: Contact Harvest'', Johnson is noted as boarding a flatbed Warthog with Dass, Jenkins, Forsell and "the rest of" the members of One-Alpha Squad. Given that One-Alpha has four known members, this means at least five people were aboard the vehicle at this time.}}

Flatbed Warthogs are typically employed by the UNSC for scouting purposes, transportation of food and fuel<ref>'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''', ''[[List of REQ cards/Vehicles|Tundra Scout Warthog REQ description]]''</ref> and as light transports{{Ref/Reuse|CH19}}{{Ref/Reuse|urban}}<ref name="H4SO">'''[[Halo 4]]''', [[Spartan Ops]], ''[[Departure]]''</ref> when necessary. Sometimes, some Warthogs are de-armed due to critical resource shortages.<ref name="urban">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''', ''[[List of REQ cards/Vehicles|Urban Scout Warthog REQ description]]''</ref> The [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] also makes use of Scout Warthogs, though they bear only superficial similarities to their regular counterparts.<ref name="oni">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''', ''[[List of REQ cards/Vehicles|ONI Scout Warthog REQ description]]''</ref>

In [[2525]], the [[Colonial Militia]] on [[Harvest]] had at least two Warthogs used as flatbeds.{{Ref/Reuse|CH19}} They would later see use in the [[Harvest campaign]], [[Battle for Arcadia]] and [[Battle of Trove]] in [[2531]] due to their carry and manufacture by the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} and its deployed [[Firebase]]s.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars]]'''</ref> "Scout" Warthogs would see continued use throughout the [[Human-Covenant War]] in varied roles when needed, thanks to their versatility. In [[2552]], several flatbeds were present at [[UNSC Training Facility Bravo]].<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', ''multiplayer level [[The Pit]]''</ref>

The upgrade to the M12B chassis in the late/ post-war era would also, by extension, create M12B Scout Warthogs. In [[2558]], the UNSC ''Infinity'' carried dearmed Warthogs in its hangars.{{Ref/Reuse|H4SO}}<ref name="H5BlueTeam">'''Halo 5: Guardians''', ''campaign level [[Blue Team (level)|Blue Team]]''</ref> Scout Warthogs were also employed on [[Meridian]] by the Liang-Dortmund Corporation.<ref>'''Halo 5: Guardians''', ''campaign level [[Evacuation]]''</ref>
