This is my Stryker Brigade Combat Team bump list. Freepmail me if you want on it.

If you have already seen this post, disregard, as you were.

Thanx for the ping and bump! I'm watching to see how the deployment of the Stryker BCT falls out. NTC is not a gauge on a combat unit - only combat is.

I just returned from a rotation out to Irwin in June - I ran with the OPFOR for a month. Based on my observations, NTC is still good environment training, but as far as comabt readiness? Jury's out.

I concur with others that Stryker is undergunned, fat, and under-armored. Has anyone heard of maintenance issues? That would be my final coffin nail. Can't maintain it without one DS shop per platoon? Kick it to the curb.

I will have something to say about the Stryker in a few weeks. Right now I am prohibited from saying anything about the Stryker. I will be going back to many of these old Stryker realted threads in a few weeks and shedding some light on the subject from a very unique position.
