"Gotta love that 30mm Autocannon, when we came into contact with a Bravo-Kilo Chieftain, one shot from it blew a massive hole into its chest."

Introduction
The M3 Dingo Infantry Fighting Vehicle or Dingo for short is a UNSC vehicle. The Dingo has a 30mm Autocannon and a 5.56mm Machine-Gun as a form of defense. The Autocannon is controlled by the pilot and the 5.56mm MG is controlled by a gunner. The Dingo, like many other UNSC vehicles manufactured by Vickers, proved itself time and time again as an effective anti-infantry platform on the battlefield. It is the cousin to the M1 Lynx Light Reconnaissance Vehicle.

In addition to its primary armaments, it carries a small 3-man marine fireteam onboard.

Creation/Introduction Into Service
The project for the Dingo was started in late 2550. The creators of Vickers saw how effective their Servals had been in battle and decided that they would begin working on a new Infantry Fighting Vehicle for the UNSC. After many years of work, the Dingos were finally perfected and 100,000 of them took part in the Second Battle of Earth.

During combat on Mars, several Dingos would often accompany marines with a large amount of heavy weapons. This allowed them to prove a great threat to any Loyalist convoys threat they could find.

UNSC Remarks
"Gotta love these babies. When I was partnered with them as part of a heavy weapons team, we must've scored a total of 20 destroyed enemy vehicles in half an hour."

"Gotta love that 30mm Autocannon, when we came into contact with a Bravo-Kilo Chieftain, one shot from it blew a massive hole into its chest."

"Baby's one hell of an IFV. It could probably take the place of half a marine platoon in combat."
