M306 MRAP

The Wayland Engines designed M306 "Boar" MRAP was a armoured personnel transport fielded during the Insurrection and Human-Covenant war, based on the 21st century Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle developed by the U.S Army during the Iraq war. It was excellent at protecting UNSC marines and staff from Insurrectionist ambushes and roadside bombs and later was heavily effective at resisting attacks from Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft. They often served behind UNSC front lines serving as logistics vehicles or within city centres, clearing roads and punching through Covenant patrols. They made up a majority of Avalon's ground force, largely replacing the planet's M831 Troop Transports with several still remaining in active service.

Glastonbury Incident
In 2527 the Avalonian city of Glastonbury was hit with a large number of Insurrectionist extremist attacks with the Wayland Armouries headquarters being put into lockdown with fourty Insurrectionist gunmen, twenty-seven former UNSC marines, four former CMA soldiers, two former Counter-Terrorism operatives and five radicalized civilian fighters. The UNSC security forces in the complex were rounded up and executed on an illegal channel broadcasted to all local services, the Insurrectionists demanded the UNSC give up control of the city lest they kill another hostage every hour. Unfortunately the Insurrectionists in a rushed attempt to control the facility established their main base on the bottom floor and, despite reinforced titanium rollers and plexiglass barricades, UNSC counter-terrorism forces drove a M306 Boar equipped with an MG460F/LE through the doors, punching a hole in the facility wall with the grenade launchers effectively disabling the Insurrectionists as counter-terrorism units dismounted and entered through the hole in the wall to subdue them. The whole attack lasted 30 seconds, this was often used as an anecdote for the effectiveness of the vehicle combined with infantry support.
