Mammoths were massive bridge-laying tanks used by the Coalition of Ordered Governments Army. They were extremely useful vehicles due to their ability to immediately deploy pre-built bridges for advancing COG ground forces. These vehicles were quite large; despite this, they were capable of moving at high speeds, possessed rapid acceleration rates and were capable of crossing rivers without sinking. They also featured forward-mounted dozer blades.
History
Riverside Skirmish
In the ninth year of the Locust War, a Mammoth driven by Ailsa was sent to backup squad Foxtrot-Six after they were pinned down by Locust alongside a river. Ailsa used the Mammoth to cross the river and run over the Locust, killing them, and also demolished a bridge they had set up. Foxtrot-Six then boarded the Mammoth and used it to rescue Cpl. Damon Baird, who been wounded and was stuck in the mud on the river bank.[1]
