Story-wise: The Elephant's main purpose was to repair and recover vehicles, and carry a bunch of infantry squads too. It's just that it was so damn fucking tough that it's a hundred times better at being a tank than Halo's actual tank. It can perform exactly the same functions a tank can do, that is to offer cover in a wide area and if possible blow up something, and at the same time works just like a station/outpost that moves. Since the UNSC in Halo isn't stupid, it was also used as such.

It's a Mobile Outpost Tank, in anything but name. Stop it with the ignorancy Shadow, that is the fact.
