Germany had only very heavy mechanized forces. Currently they make some new medium mechanized forces that will be entirely equipped with Boxer. Concept of wheeled IFV is entirely new in german military.
The medium mechanized forces get Boxer with unmanned RCT30 Puma turret and dismounts while the infantry get Boxer with manned Lance turret (same gun) and no dismounts as heavy weapons carrier. Its the Wiesel successor in non air mobile units. While its true that a Boxer is very large for a weapons carrier, those units already use the Boxer as APC without a turret. In german military mechanized forces are part of tank forces, not part of infantry.
