The U.S. Army required the ability to deploy a Stryker-equipped brigade within 96 hours of receiving the order. The name "Stryker" was chosen to honor two American soldiers awarded the Medal of Honor: Stuart S. Stryker, a World War II hero, and Robert F. Stryker, a Vietnam War hero. M1126 Infantry Carrier Vehicle (ICV) The M1126 Infantry Carrier Vehicle (ICV) is the primary and most widely produced variant of the Stryker family, designed to transport troops to the combat zone.

Its armament consists of the M153 CROWS remote weapon station, equipped with either an M2 machine gun or an Mk19 automatic grenade launcher, allowing for fire engagement without the need to exit the vehicle.
