The '''Mongoose''' is the name given to a series of ultra-light all-terrain utility vehicles employed by several [[human]] organisations. It is popular in both the [[Civilian]] [[Civilian vehicles|market]] and within the [[United Nations Space Command]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/Halo/status/1228363531772481537?s=19 ''Halo on Twitter'':] The Mongoose is an all-terrain quad bike that is wildly popular both on the civilian market and within the UNSC. #FictionFriday</ref> The Mongoose is produced by [[AMG Transport Dynamics]] and has been in service since [[2483]]. Both the civilian and military versions are available with a variety of upgrade packages, including armored body panels, improved suspension systems, and alternate engines. The civilian version is not rated to carry Spartans without risking damage to the frame.<ref name="waypoint"/> | |||
==Usage== | |||
The Mongoose provides an alternate means of transporting messages, documents, and light cargo between units. It may also be used to transport forward observers, reconnaissance personnel and [[sniper]] teams. Its proven versatility has made it a vital asset to field commanders when used as an alternate means of communication.<ref name="bnet">[http://halo.bungie.net/news/content.aspx?cid=12233 ''Bungie.net'': The Mongoose]</ref> The Mongoose seats one driver and sports a rear cargo rack which can carry weapons, equipment and, if the stirrup tracks are engaged, a passenger. In this configuration, the passenger can fire a weapon from the rear of the M274, effectively arming the vehicle. Field observations have indicated that when two Spartans are operating a Mongoose in this way, it becomes truly formidable, eclipsing its role of basic transportation and becoming something more akin to a force application vehicle.<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/Universe/Detail/mongoose/b5c99753-e4e4-48cd-a2f6-efc2ec3c97e9 ''Halo Waypoint'': Mongoose] (defunct, [[Archive:Halo Waypoint/2009 to 2014/Universe/Vehicles|Archived]])</ref> | |||
