 *The M274 Mongoose ULATV is a front line reconnaissance and rapid-response vehicle of the [[UNSC Marine Corps]], and thus it is commonly featured in ''[[Halo 3]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s campaign.
-*'''''[[The Storm (Level)|The Storm]]''''': Four Mongi with  [[Rocket Launcher]]-armed Marines were part of a [[UNSC]] counteroffensive against the Covenant occupation of [[Voi]] in the [[Battle of Voi]] in the [[Second Battle of Earth]]. [[SPARTAN-117]] led the initial Mongoose assault on a Covenant-held lake bed which featured two [[Type-52 Anti Aircraft Artillery]] [[Wraith]] tanks that were obstructing the [[UNSC]] aerial offensive. After the initial Covenant garrison was eliminated, [[Kilo 23]] arrived with another pair of Mongi as reinforcements. Not only were Mongi essential in the destruction of the Covenant AA Wraiths, but after a Covenant [[Scarab]] walker attacked Voi, the Mongi led an offensive to weaken the walker's joints with rockets, while using their superior maneuverability to evade enemy fire<ref>''[[The Storm (Level)]]'', ''[[Halo 3]]''</ref>.

It crashed under heavy fire, but later its crashed hulk and the Pelican's surviving crew were recovered by  [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s led by [[SPARTAN-117]]. It was manned by Marine(s), and Mongi played a role in the UNSC vehicular offensive<ref>''[[The Ark (Level)]]'', ''[[Halo 3]]''</ref>.

-*'''''[[The Covenant (Level)|The Covenant]]''''': The UNSC Marine Corps/[[Covenant Separatists]] assault on the [[Citadel]]'s island on Installation 00 involved multiple Mongi to rapidly transverse large amounts of enemy-held terrain. In the strike on the first [[Barrier Tower]], [[Kilo 23]] deployed both a Mongoose and a Warthog to assist SPARTAN-117 and his allied ODSTs and Marines in the assault on the first tower. After the tower was secured, a second Mongoose was deployed by unknown means to aid SPARTAN-117 in his trip from the tower back to the [[Hornet]] LZ on the island's beachhead. Later, after the third Barrier Tower had been secured, the UNSC Marine Corps organized a large vehicular force to press forward towards the [[Citadel]], and thus prevent the [[Prophet of Truth]] from activating the [[Halos]]. The attack force included a Mongoose with a Rocket Launcher-armed passenger Marine<ref>''[[The Covenant (Level)]]'', ''[[Halo 3]]''</ref>.

 *'''''[[Halo (Halo 3 Level)|Halo]]''''': Apparently, the UNSC ''Forward Unto Dawn'' deployed another Mongoose ULATV in [[Sergeant Major]] [[Avery J. Johnson]]'s trek from the landed frigate to the rebuilt Installation 04's [[Control Room]]. It can be found after SPARTAN-117 reaches the initial Warthog by taking the left snowy path, and instead of venturing right towards the rest of the level, taking the first immediate left turn. A Mongoose is secluded by the cliffs on the left hand side, and can be used to transverse the rest of the level. And when you do the jump at the end, it turns into a Warthog due to the cinematic either being pre-recorded or simply an overlooked part of the cutscene's scripting.
