When the General Dynamic technicians arrived in country (Iraq), their cost to the US was $250,000 each per year plus their convoy of supplies and parts that had to be purchased at list prices each time a Stryker had a flat or flaked out.

Now General Dynamics has a better deal. They are now the ONLY organization that can touch a Stryker to repair it. Presumably they will not charge us $250,000 per man in American military depots but there is no guarantee.

Civilian tech reps are the only ones allowed to work on the Stryker - even at the organization level?
