The '''M318 Heavy Recovery Vehicle''', commonly referred to as the '''Elephant''', is a UNSC Mobile Assault, Support, and Recovery Platform.{{Ref/Reuse|visual}} The vehicle is used primarily as an armored mobile recovery vehicle and has seen action most noticeably in the [[Human-Covenant War]].

==Overview==
Designed and manufactured by [[JOTUN Heavy Industries]], the Elephants were initially used in the utility and farming industries during the early colonial expansion periods.{{Ref/Reuse|visual}} After several decades serving in the civilian market, JOTUN was contracted by the UNSC to develop the Elephants and build them as [[wikipedia:armoured recovery vehicle|armored repair and recovery vehicles]].{{Ref/Reuse|visual}} As time has progressed, the Elephant has been modified into several variants and upgrades, though the Elephant's versatility remain unchanged.
