The Mongoose is one of the fastest and most maneuverable ground vehicles in the arsenal of the [[UNSC Marine Corps]]. It is a highly effective vehicle for reconnaissance, rapid transportation, swift tactical versatility, and for shooting between positions. A smaller cousin to the ubiquitous [[M831 Troop Transport]], the Mongoose is a small ATV capable of carrying a driver in the middle of the vehicle, and features a rear platform that can be used to carry one additional passenger. | The Mongoose is one of the fastest and most maneuverable ground vehicles in the arsenal of the [[UNSC Marine Corps]].
