The Infantry Carrier Vehicle provides protected transport and, during a dismounted assault, supporting fire for the infantry squad. The Stryker is a full-time four-wheel drive, selectively eight-wheel drive, armored vehicle weighing approximately 19t, carrying an infantry squad with their equipment. On paved roads, the vehicle can attain speeds of 62 miles per hour (100 km/h) without a governor and 35 miles per hour (56 km/h) with a governor.
The basic infantry carrier vehicle (ICV) provides armored protection for the two-man crew and a squad of nine soldiers.
The Stryker appears in book three ‘Blood of Patriots,‘ where it serves as the main vehicle for militia members to patrol the district. In ‘Hunter,’ it is referred to as a Striker and performs the same function–moving fighters to the fighting.
