"Rough and tough, thats how she works!"

- Captain Janice Gren

The M91B Caribou Armoured recovery Vehicle is a Coyote series vehicle for towing damaged vehicles. It features a heavy duty whinch at the rear of the vehicle and two anchor spades to extend into the ground for lifting operations. The side racks often contain materials to various applications. Materials include titanium sand grating, timber or ceramic plate shields. Thw whinch has 234 meters of wire cable and a pull capacity of 13 tons though it needs a 1/4 snatch block for pulling weights greater than itself.

UNSC Remarks
"Its a tough and reliable little thing, I haven't had to have mine serviced in the four years we've been hauling Scorpions."

"I thought we were dead to be honest. A Necros tank blew out one of our bogies, the front left one, rendered his immobile. The Necros were swarming outta the wood work to try and take us down. We were starting to run low when one of these turn up with a platoon of Marines. They winched us up and hauled us out, got us back to Firebase Charlie as well."

"The reason i like it is because it can go places the ARRV can't. It can cross rivers, muddy ground, rough terrain, narrow streets and haul whatever needs hauling outta there."
