Asian Defence & Diplomacy Vol 20, August/September 2013, pp.18-22. (130) Summary: The Cold War saw an inevitable drift away from traditional armoured personnel carriers to the supposed Mechanised Infantry Combat Vehicle, or MICV. Back in the late 1980s or early 1990s it was fairly easy to tell which was which, regardless of wheels or tracks. Today the distinction is less easy to make, the future perhaps less certain. Operational experience from Iraq and Afghanistan has come to disrupt and scar what was for most Western or NATO armies a firm understanding of where everyone was going and why.
