Part of the proposed Future Combat Systems This is one of the family of Manned Gound Vehicle MGV proposed for a lighter and more transportable system in which every member of the family of ground, air, manned, and robotic, systems all report to a network system of systems to allow network centric warfare. It is a system that proposes much but is in trouble with burgoning costs and many questions about the vehicles light weight and vulernability to anti-armor weapons systems.

The XM1205 Future Combat Systems Recovery and Maintenance Vehicle (FRMV) is the recovery and maintenance system for employment within both the Unit of Action (UA) and Unit of Employment (UE) and contributes to sustaining and generating combat power to the Future Force structure. Each Unit of Action (UA) will have a small number of 2-3 man Combat Repair Teams within the organic Forward Support Battalion (FSB) to perform field maintenance requirements beyond the capabilities of the crew chief/crew, more in-depth Battle Damage Assessment Repair (BDAR), and limited recovery operations. The Recovery and Maintenance Vehicle (FRMV) is designed to hold a crew of three with additional space for three additional recovered crew. The Recovery and Maintenance Vehicle (FRMV) has a Close Combat Support Weapon (CCSW) and Mk19 40mm grenade launcher.
