The Stryker is a very capable APC and a departure from the standard Army doctrine of using tracked vehicles. It is more mobile than a Bradley and can travel onver roads at better than 65 mph. Currently it has been adapted to 11 variants, from a vehicle to carry infantry troops into a battle, to a 105mm gun carrying platform to an FLA. One was recently toppled by an IED. The vehicle was turned on it's side by a 155mm shell buried in concrete. The vehicle righted itself and they drove away. Only 1 of the normal 3 man crew was injured (with a broken arm). Amazing.
