Stryker is not air droppable. The parachutes and pallets needed to air drop a Stryker do not exist. Weighs too much.

Loverly...not only can they not bring it in in operational configuration, they also have to secure an airfield before it ever gets there.
THis completely voids the IBCT doctrine as I understand it. They are suppossed to hit the ground fighting. Not hit the ground, prepare a new airstrip, pull a 2 hour motor stable, piss away a couple of more hours uploading ammo and BII and then drive a considerable distance to engage the enemy.
