mechanized infantry combat vehicle
Tracked military vehicle designed to fight as part of an armoured battle group; that is, with tanks. It is armed with a quick-firing cannon and one or more machine guns. MICVs have replaced armoured personnel carriers. They are also known as Infantry Fighting Vehicles.
The US Army's MICV is the Bradley and the British Army's equivalent is the Warrior. These have seen extensive use in the current conflict in Iraq.
