There are 5 other brigades waiting to be fielded after this one.

By my count, that's 6 brigades. Unless things have changed a lot, that's two full divisions. Will there be two Stryker divisions, or will the brigades be distributed to existing divisions? If the latter, that would sure bite - replacing a tank brigade (2 Battalions of Tanks, 1 of Mech Infantry), a Mech Brigade (2 Battalions of Mech, 1 of Tanks), or, even worse, the division's "balanced" brigade (2 of each, Tank & Mech) with cute little wheelie Stryker things

If it's good for Stryker units, why not equip the normal infantry unit with all the goodies? Stack the deck enough and I can make a "leg" light infantry unit capable of defeating heavy armor!

6 Brigades: Two currently at Ft. Lewis (one before too much longer), one in Alaska, one in Hawaii, one at Ft. Polk, and one in Pennsylvania. The ones in Alaska and Louisiana are separate BDE's. The other two belong to existing Divisions, one light, one mech.
