Removing the turret of a Warthog to create dedicated [[Scout Warthog|scout]] or other | Removing the turret of a Warthog to create dedicated [[Scout Warthog|scout]] or other weaponized variants of Warthog is a simple process, and has allowed the UNSC to employ many combat configurations of the vehicle with different weapons for different roles.<ref>'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''', ''[[List of REQ cards/Vehicles|Woodland Scout Warthog REQ card description]]''</ref> Warthogs equipped with Light Anti-Aircraft chainguns are designated as Warthog Light Reconnaissance Vehicles.
