I thought the 1126 was an IFV?

I'm vaguely familiar with it, yes.

From what I can gather, while ICV usually stands for "Infantry Combat Vehicle" and means IFV, in the specific case of the M1126 it means "Infantry Carrier Vehicle" which means APC. It doesn't really have the armour or armament to go IFV'ing.

IFV stands for Infantry Fighting Vehicle. An Infantry Combat Vehicle is the same thing, obviously, just by a different name.

Yeah, I know that. The thing is, the M1126 is called an ICV but in this specific case it stands for Infantry Carrier Vehicle, not Infantry Combat Vehicle. It's marketing-speak for APC.
