The UNSC and Covenant use a range of light transports and scout craft - the [[M12 Warthog]] and the {{Pattern|Karo'etba|Ghost}} are ubiquitous in the UNSC Armed Forces and the Covenant respectively, used primarily for force reconnaissance and engaging light enemy forces. The Warthog is a versatile UNSC light vehicle, and comes in a number of variants for different niches - the standard model is equipped with a [[M41 Vulcan|crew-served light machinegun]], though this can be replaced with [[M12R Rocket Warthog|missile pods]], a [[M12A1 Rocket Warthog|tri-barrelled rocket launcher]], a [[M12G1 Gauss Warthog|gauss turret]], or replaced with [[M831 Troop Transport Warthog|a troop compartment]]. The UNSC also uses variants of the [[M274R Mongoose|Mongoose]] [[M290 Mongoose|ULATV]], usually operated by a single operator for message or materiel delivery on a battlefield where communications uplinks are compromised or where airborne or slower ground transports are impractical. The Covenant Ghost is a fairly standard vehicle, lightly armed and armored but extremely fast and agile, though several post-war variants of the {{Pattern|Karo'wark|Ghost}} have been used by both the Covenant and the [[Swords of Sanghelios]]. The Covenant have at times supplemented the Ghost with the {{Pattern|Wuzum|Spectre}}, though it was not adopted in large numbers, and the {{Pattern|Rizvum|Revenant}}.

When the Jiralhanae assumed command of the Covenant, they supplemented their Ghosts with [[Type-25 Chopper]]s and [[Qavardu Workshop Prowler]]s. For improved ground mobility, both sides also used a number of armored fighting vehicles. The UNSC used the M831 Warthog for troop transport, while the Covenant used the larger, more heavily armored {{Pattern|Ruwaa|Shadow}} for transport in urban environments, though both sides tend to use dropship airlift more frequently. Transport was less of a concern to the Forerunners, who used sophisticated [[Slipspace translocation|battlefield translocation]] to move across the battlefield, a technique continued into the 26th century by Promethean forces. | ||
