Infantry units are not "support" units

In this article there are several instances where the word "support" is used. Infantrymen are never considered a support unit. They are the main battle unit. Artillery units are considered "support". The word support in a military context means to support another unit. Yes, IFV's mutually support the members of their unit but that is not considered "support" because they are in the same unit. Also, from personal experience to ever call an Infantryman "support" is considered an insult. Can you please edit and remove that word. Solri89 (talk) 17:24, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Just change 'support' to a more fitting word then, e.g. WP:FIXIT. -Fnlayson (talk) 20:05, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

IAV

It might be self-explanatory for the military experts, but the abbreviation "IAV" is not explained anywhere in the article. For clarification it should be fully written out at least once in either the introduction or the table on the right. --89.0.161.210 (talk) 16:12, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

IAV is for Interim Armored Vehicle. I've added that at the first mention. (Hohum ^@) 18:07, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Stryker and LIBA

Moft Elizon claims to provide LIBA armor plating for Strykers. Yet I don't see any listing of them here. Any other sources, or...
