M510 Siegework/Ultra-Heavy Mobile Anti-Aircraft Weapons Platform

The M510 Siegework/Ultra-Heavy Mobile Anti-Aircraft Weapons Platform, also known as the Mammoth, is a very large UNSC vehicle that appears in Halo 4. It resembles a larger and more mobile Elephant. It is a mobile command and control unit or forward operating base. The Mammoth can transport and deploy smaller vehicles like the Warthog or the Mongoose as well as infantry units.
==Class History==
===First Requiem===
As the was being pulled into Requiem, several of the ship's Mammoths were violently slammed into each other.Halo 4 - Promotional Material: The Commissioning Later, a Mammoth was deployed to help with the blow through operation to help destroy a Gravity Well Generator keeping Infinity in Requiem. This Mammoth was heavily damaged in the operation.
===Mammoth Hijacked===
In 2558, on a planet housing an ONI facility on construction, a unknown group of Covenant remnants stole a Mammoth and throw it on a pendent against the facility's reactor, but Blue Team, led by John-117, retake it, and deviated it, preventing the reactor's blowing.Halo: Tales from Slipspace-On the Brink-p.45

===Super Structure===
The Mammoth is the largest land vehicle of the UNSC known so far, quadrupling the size of the Elephant in length, and can carry multiple Warthogs and Mongooses. The Mammoth is a mobile base on wheels. It has six heavy duty wheels, cargo doors at both ends for the deployment of vehicles, and sports two winches among other practical loops and hooks on its front for multiple uses. The Mammoth is also three stories tall; the lowest level is used as a vehicle garage, while the second level is where the command center of the vehicle is located, and the topmost level is the outer deck exposed partially outside for observation and combat and the location of the MAC and side-mounted rocket turrets.
===Armament===
The Mammoth's primary armament consists of a MAC (referred to as a "mini MAC" in dialogue) on its top, near the rear of the vehicle. The Mark 2457 MAC fires a 35 centimeter round, powerful enough to destroy a Type-44 Troop Carrier or Particle Cannon in one shot; Though this requires the use of a Target Designator. Other secondary weapons, onboard the Mammoth, include two M79 Multiple Launch Rocket System turrets mounted on the forward right and left sides. 
Mammoths also come equipped with several ammo crates, and weapon lockers, enough to sustain a company of Marines and Spartans during their time on the field. Jetpacks were also fitted to provide aid for Spartans to disembark and embark the Mammoth at any time. 
==Trivia==
*The Mammoth resembles the Clone Turbo Tank/Imperial Juggernaut from the Star Wars franchise. Both are very large vehicles that serve as a mobile command center and can carry other smaller vehicles into battle.
*The Mammoth appears to be the UNSC's equivalent to the Covenant's Harvester, however given its overt combat purpose it is more likely a counterpart to the military version of the Covenant Scarab walker, as both are massive, rather slow ultra-heavy vehicles with incredible amounts of heavy armor and firepower, while at the same time possessing secondary forward command and troop transport capabilities.
