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 UNSC Marines Corps' standard vehicle is the [[M12 Force Application Vehicle]], which is used for armored patrols and personnel mobility.

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]]. 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 [[M808B Main Battle Tank]], which is armed with an [[M512 Smooth Bore High Velocity Cannon]] and an [[M247T Medium Machine Gun]]. In smaller numbers they also deployed the heavier [[M850 Main Battle Tank]] (with two [[M310 120mm 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.

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. | Less standard vehicles also saw service with the Marine Corps during the Human-Covenant War.
