What are they going to transport it in? Ships are too slow, and C-130s can't carry it in one go. Or is it for homeland defense, (of a nation with no air force! Har!)

C-130s can't carry it in one go

There seems to be some disagreement over just how transportable a Stryker actually is. I am pretty much convinced it will fit. What I don't know is how far the C-130 can fly with one and how much of a Charlie Foxtrot it is to get the vehicle off the aircraft and ready to fight.

A C-130 will carry the Stryker, thats why it was pressed into production.
