{{Feature|informative|See [[AI Group Vehicle Management]] for more information.}}
Notes:
* The vehicle will be considered as available for use by this group.
* It creates a/adds to the vehicle pool for the given group to use. So more than one vehicle can be added to a group, and more than one group can be added to a vehicle.
* This is relevant for some waypoints like getIn and guard - potentially more.
* The AI choosing what vehicle to use based on the vehicle's [[CfgVehicles_Config_Reference#cost|cost]] value. Probably also distance to the available vehicles plays a role.
* When deciding whether to board a vehicle, AI leaders seem to only consider the transport benefit of a vehicle, ignoring any combat benefits the vehicle may provide.
* This happens also implicitly when using assignAsXXX or moveInXXX commands, or player GL orders units to enter a vehicle, as well editor or Zeus placed vehicles with units assigned to it.
* One can make an AI GL order his group to board the specified vehicle with [[orderGetIn]] [[true]]. Setting to [[false]] will cancel the order, but the AI will first enter to get out again immediately thereafter. To immediately (potentially temporarily) halt the AI moving to the vehicle one can use  [[allowGetIn]] [[false]].
* When vehicle is added in this way, it can appear as a target for the enemy - even if the vehicle currently has no crew.
* If used on a vehicle already driven by a member of another group, the driver will continue under his own group's orders, which may not benefit the addVehicle group.
* Seems to have no affect on AI under player command - at least as long as the player remains the GL.
* To remove vehicle from a group, use [[leaveVehicle]].
