The M12 served as the UNSC's go-to ground vehicle for over two centuries, following its official adoption by the [[Colonial Military Authority|CMA]] in [[2321]].

The commonality of Warthogs in the colonies was a key strategic advantage to the UNSC during the early years of the [[Human-Covenant War]], and dozens of Warthog variant templates were kept aboard the factory modules stored aboard {{Class|Phoenix|colony ship}}s such as {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}.{{Ref/Game|HW2| | The commonality of Warthogs in the colonies was a key strategic advantage to the UNSC during the early years of the [[Human-Covenant War]], and dozens of Warthog variant templates were kept aboard the factory modules stored aboard {{Class|Phoenix|colony ship}}s such as {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}.{{Ref/Game|HW2|Phoenix Logs|Detail=Detail=Warthog}} The Warthog saw constant use throughout the war from the [[Harvest campaign]]{{Ref/Game|HW}} to the [[Fall of Reach]].{{Ref/Game|HR}}, though by late [[2552]] the newer [[M12B Warthog|M12B]] model of Warthog had begun to supercede the original M12. Both models saw action in the battles of [[Battle of Installation 04|Installation 04]], [[Battle for Earth|Earth]] and [[Battle of Installation 00|Installation 00]]. Notably, an M12 was responsible for allowing [[John-117]] and [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]] to escape the rapidly-destructing [[Installation 08]].{{Ref/Level|H3|Halo (Halo 3 level)|LevelLinkText=Halo}} | ||
