From what I understand, the Stryker has like all weapon systems fielded, had to have some small kinks worked out. The Soldiers had to get used to employing it properly and get a feel for what it can and cannot do. That's funny, I don't recall ever reading about soldiers trying to work the "kinks" out of the M1 Abrams.

You're correct. Forgive me. The Abrams had a seemless transition from the drawing board to the battlefield. Thanks alot for the blinding input. :o)

The Stryker Brigade has never had its Mobile Gun System (MGS) that was to be delivered by General Dynamics. General Dynamics doens't believe that it can field the guns before sometime in 2005 so the next Stryker Brigade (1/25) that will replace this one in December will not have all of its weapons either - just what General Dynamics wants to deliver.
