Both tracked and wheeled versions are popular, the formerly ubiquitous [[half-track]] having fallen from use in recent decades. APCs are almost universally amphibious and air-portable. Some types can even handle swimming in the sea. This gives APCs capabilities that the otherwise much more capable [[IFV]]s lack due to their extra weight. An [[NBC]] protection system is generally fitted.
