Sir, you are misinformed. The Stryker is only billed as an alternative to the Bradley by the wingnuts over at militarycorruption.com. The Army has said no such thing.
Air deployment is another great myth that has taken flight devoid of reality. Strategic deployments are conducted today and into the foreseeable future by a combination of sea and air means. Airlift is inadequate to accomodate the vast majority of the Army's requirement. Lift in the opening days of any crisis goes almost exclusively to the Air Force. The Army gets precious little. The Army will deploy by sea, using high speed vessels and normal sea lift. We will have pre-positioned equipment sets in parts of the world where we most expect to use it. We will use available strategic airlift for critical people and equipment. The C-130 is not a strategic deployment aircraft. It is used for in-theater lift. The reason that it is a requirement is to permit air land of small numbers of Stryker assets to reinforce an airhead. We will never deploy a Stryker brigade by C-130 - only politicians and reporters would conjur up such a scenario. What we will do is similar to what was done in Northern Iraq. The 173d Airborne Brigade executed a parachute assault to seize an airfield. There was an Iraqi armored threat in the vicinity, so we reinforced that airhead with M-2 Bradley and M-1 tanks from the 1st Infantry Division in Germany. They were deployed by C-17. If there had been a Stryker Brigade in theater, then Stryker assets could have been inserted by C-130, even with the limitations so well described so many times on this forum. No, we wouldn't insert the entire brigade - a company or at most a battalion.
Bradleys will remain in the force and continue to provide very valuable service, executing a 12 division strategy with a 10 division force.
