Military slang for an armoured personnel carrier (APC) — the vehicle that transports infantry troops to and from the battlefield. The 'taxi' element captures the vehicle's function as a transporter rather than a primary fighting vehicle, though APCs are typically armed. Used in informal military speech and writing.
The platoon rode into the village in battle-taxis before dismounting for the assault.
