M1301 Infantry Squad Vehicle → M1301 infantry squad vehicle – Per WP:MILCAPS, we don't capitalized the phrase after the alphanumeric designator unless it's a proper name (as in M1 Abrams). Here "infantry squad vehicle" is a generic descriptive phrase, not a proper name. Dicklyon (talk) 04:49, 31 March 2025 (UTC) — Relisting. Jeffrey34555 (talk) 14:31, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support Per MOS:MILCAPS. This is a description of the vehicle's function/role. It is not commensurate with Abrams that we would cap per the guidance. While it is a style to capitalise an expanded abbreviation, per MOS:EXPABBR, we don't do that. Capitalisation in sources to introduce an initialism, either directly or in close proximity to its first use does not indicate that caps are necessary here.

Support Per nomination. ScrabbleTiles (talk) 15:24, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - from source it is used as a proper name.
