The earliest known use of the Mantis occurred on the [[Human-Covenant War]], during the [[Battle of Meridian]] in [[2551]], when the first prototype of the Mantis engaged in an action known as the "Cherbourg Run" successfully engaging 18 heavily guarded [[Type-27 Mantis|Type-27 Anti-Aircraft Cannon]]s, which also bore the title of "Mantis". The success of the prototype in the "Cherbourg Run" is one of the theories behind the origin of the moniker of "Mantis".<ref>'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 111''</ref> After the Human-Covenant War, in early [[2553]], one Mantis was delivered to [[Kilo-Five]] aboard their [[UNSC prowler|prowler]] {{UNSCShip|Port Stanley}}.<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''page 416''</ref> The Mantis continued to be in use only by select highly classified ONI units and the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}},<ref name="h4guide"/> which carried a number of Mantises by [[2557]].
