The M313 Heavy Recovery Vehicle[7][3][4][1] is a vehicle in the Elephant line of heavy Mobile Assault, Support, and Recovery (MASR) platforms built by JOTUN Heavy Industries and employed by the United Nations Space Command.[8] Sometimes referred to as the Behemoth-class Troop Transport,[3][4] the vehicle is one of the largest ground vehicles employed by the UNSC for ground-based operations, though since the end of the Human-Covenant War in 2552 it has been surpassed in size by the M510 Mammoth.
