The US Army has increased the order for Infantry Division armored vehicles (ISVs) by 18 times, from the initial purchase of 649 units from GM Defense to 11,582 units. Thanks to the widespread introduction of ISV into the troops, the command is trying to ensure the survival of infantry in conditions of the dominance of reconnaissance and precision destruction:

According to American strategists, the ISV, capable of carrying 9 fighters, will counteract enemy drones and precision fire in general with ease and maneuverability, ensuring rapid redeployment of the squad and its dispersal.:

ISVs are expected to provide survivability through maneuverability, rather than armor, like the Humvee and JLTV. The ISV will complement them rather than replace them, especially in scenarios where speed, air transportation, and rapid movement over rough terrain play a major role.
