troop transport
Military personnel vehicle
A troop transport is a vehicle—ship, aircraft, or truck—designed to carry military personnel in quantity.
The term emphasizes capacity over combat capability: The troop transports landed at dawn with three thousand soldiers.
During major conflicts, civilian vessels are often pressed into service as troop transports.
