Description: “Speed is the only protection this vehicle provides; it is unarmored, noisy, and prone to roll-over. It demands a level of skill from its operator that is impossible to expect…during combat conditions.” — Anonymous E2-BAG/1/7 serviceman

The M274 Ultra-Light All-Terrain Vehicle (M274 ULATV), commonly known as the Mongoose, is a United Nations Space Command light ground reconnaissance vehicle designed by AMG Transport Dynamics. The Mongoose lacks weapons, but can carry a driver and a passenger. The passenger can fire their weapons, but they will not be able to zoom in.

The Mongoose ULATV is one of the most maneuverable ground vehicles in the arsenal of the UNSC. It is a highly effective vehicle for reconnaissance and rapid transportation. The Mongoose is a difficult target due to its smaller size, but its high speed and light mass make vulnerable to crashes and flips at high speeds and over unstable terrain. To make matters worse, the design of the vehicle and its lack of armor leave both the driver and passenger completely exposed.

The standard UNSC Marine Corps operating protocol in engagements against Covenant forces is to place a M41 Rocket Launcher-armed Marine in the passenger position to fire rockets against slow-moving hostile vehicles, while the driver uses the Mongoose's superior speed to evade enemy return fire. For quick and practical deployment, the Mongoose can be transported by Pelicans and Elephants.

A modified version of the Mongoose, the M274-M Ultra-Light All-Terrain Vehicle, appears in Halo 2: Anniversary.

Description: “Lovingly dubbed the “mothergoose” by frontline infantry men and women due to its increased size over the M274, this particular variant shown is Liang Dortmund's heavy-duty modification of the standard M290 ATV. The result is a nimble but rugged Mongoose with extra armor.” — Official description, Canon Fodder

The M290 All-Terrain Vehicle, also known as the Mongoose, is a UNSC light ground reconnaissance vehicle, introduced in the post-war era as a replacement to the outdated M274 Mongoose. It goes by the colloquial names of 'Mongoose' or 'Mothergoose'. In addition to the standard variant, a variant with twin mounted driver-controlled grenade launchers exists, called the Gungoose.
