Troop carrier
A troop carrier is a means of transporting soldiers. A troop carrier vehicle may be configured for troop transport while used for other purposes at other times.
Examples
The Douglas C-47 Skytrain is an aircraft used as a troop carrier; the Boeing CH-47 Chinook is a helicopter designed for it, though often used for other purposes. Military transport aircraft evolved from bombers.
The Nissan Patrol is a four-wheel drive vehicle with a model suited for use as a troop carrier.
A troopship is a ship that serves the purpose.
Armoured personnel carriers also are troop carriers.
The Leamington Transit was an electric railway in Canada that carried troops during World War I.
gollark: What? No. Search engines are hard.
gollark: osmarks.net™ search engine™ plus™ will of course:- have working crawler logic probably- be faster somehow, as opposed to slower- use postgres FTS instead of a homegrown and not very good inverted index
gollark: So the crawler got links slightly wrong in certain situations and also it took 60 seconds to search anything.
gollark: It worked fine on osmarks.net, but then I ~~dug too deep~~ indexed half of the esolangs.org wiki without fixing some things (like redirects) and ensuring performance was okay.
gollark: As longer-time members have probably forgotten, there *was* an osmarks.net search engine.
