-The UNSC Marines Corps' standard vehicle is the [[M12 Force Application Vehicle]], which is used for armored patrols and personnel mobility. The M12 FAV is produced in several variants. The most common of these variants is the [[M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle]], which is armed with an M41 Light Anti-Aircraft Gun. Light anti-vehicle support is provided by the [[M12G1 Light Anti-Armor Vehicle]], which is armed with an [[M68 Gauss Cannon]], the [[M12A1 Light Anti-Armor Vehicle]], which is mounted with a [[102mm SC-HE Rocket Turret]], and the [[M12R Light Anti-Armor Vehicle]], which features an [[M79 Multiple Launch Rocket System]]. The [[M831 Troop Transport]] serves as a fast, lightly armored transport vehicle for squads. The [[M274 Ultra-Light All-Terrain Vehicle]] is commonly used for scouting and light target interdiction.
+The Marine Corps makes heavy use of the [[M12 Force Application Vehicle]], which is used for armored patrols, personnel mobility, and combat fire-support. The M12 FAV is produced in several variants. The most common of these variants is the [[M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle]], which is armed with an [[M41 Light Anti-Aircraft Gun]], or the later [[M46 Light Anti-Aircraft Gun]]. Postwar Marines have begun to utilize the re-armed M12B model of Warthog, equipped with the [[M343A2 Chaingun]]. Light anti-vehicle support is provided by the [[M12G1 Light Anti-Armor Vehicle]], armed with either the [[M68 Gauss Cannon]] or the more recent [[M555 Gauss cannon|M555 Gauss Cannon]], the [[M12A1 Light Anti-Armor Vehicle]], which is mounted with a [[102mm SC-HE Rocket Turret]], and the [[M12R Light Anti-Armor Vehicle]], which features an [[M79 Multiple Launch Rocket System]] or updated [[M80 missile launcher|M80 Multiple Launch Rocket System]]. The [[M831 Troop Transport]] serves as a fast, lightly armored transport vehicle. The [[M274 Ultra-Light All-Terrain Vehicle]] is commonly used for scouting and light target interdiction.
-For heavy engagements, the Marine Corps operates the [[M808B Main Battle Tank]], which is armed with an [[M512 Smooth Bore High Velocity Cannon]] and an [[M247T Medium Machine Gun]]. In smaller numbers, the Marines also deployed the heavier [[M850 Grizzly|M850 "Grizzly" Main Battle Tank]]—armed with two [[M310 smooth-bore high-velocity cannon]]s and an M247T]—throughout the Insurrection and Human-Covenant War, but postwar logistical issues led the Marine Corps to retire the M850.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/vehicles/grizzly '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Grizzly'']</ref> The [[M9 Main Anti-Air Tank]] is the Corps' primary mobile anti-air asset. The [[SP42 Cobra]] provides heavy anti-vehicle and anti-structure support. The [[M312 Heavy Recovery Vehicle]] provides heavy matériel recovery and troop transport.
+For heavy engagements, the Marine Corps operates the older [[M808B Main Battle Tank]] and more recent [[M808C Scorpion|M808C Main Battle Tank]] models of the [[M808 Scorpion]] model, which is armed with an [[M512 Smooth Bore High Velocity Cannon]] and a pintle-mounted [[M247T Medium Machine Gun]] (M808C) or coaxial [[M231 machine gun|M231 Machine Gun]] (M808B). More recently following the Requiem Conflict, however, the Marine Corps has begun to adopt the updated [[M820 Scorpion|M820 Scorpion Main Battle Tank]], which is armed with the  150mm M990 electrothermal-chemical smoothbore cannon and an as-of-yet unidentified pintle-mounted heavy machine gun <ref>https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/vehicles/scorpion</ref>. In smaller numbers, the Marines also deployed the heavier dual-[[M310 smooth-bore high-velocity cannon]] wielding [[M850 Grizzly|M850 "Grizzly" Main Battle Tank]] throughout the Insurrection and Human-Covenant War, but postwar logistical issues led the Marine Corps to retire it.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/vehicles/grizzly '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Grizzly'']</ref> The [[M9 Wolverine|M9 Wolverine Main Anti-Air Tank]] (MAAT) is the Corps' primary mobile anti-air asset. The [[SP42 Cobra|SP42 Cobra Main Battle Tank]] fills the role of tank destroyer and anti-fortification light artillery support. The [[M312 Heavy Recovery Vehicle]] and [[M313 Heavy Recovery Vehicle]] provides heavy matériel recovery and troop transport.
-Less standard vehicles also saw service with the Marine Corps during the Human-Covenant War. The [[M-145D Rhino]] was outfitted with a reverse-engineered [[plasma mortar]]. The [[Gremlin Combat Support Vehicle]] is used to disable enemy vehicles with its onboard EMP weapon. The [[Cyclops]] support exoskeleton was used both repair duties and logistical support, as well as in combat, though it was eventually retired from service. In recent years, the [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark IX Mantis|Mantis]] has been utilized by the Marines, with the Corp having contracted [[Materials Group]] to produce a refit package to allow alternate loadouts on the walker.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/vehicles/mantis '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Mantis'']</ref>
