Convoy escort is generally the responsibility of MP units, not combat arms. Feel safer?

You forgot-Shinseki is gone-this is the doing of others now. I can tell you that most convoys provide their own escorts/gun vehicles in Iraq these days-not enough MP's.
Stryker would be a great convoy escort gun truck.

"Convoy escort is generally the responsibility of MP units, not combat arms. Feel safer?"Hehehehehe...not in the slightest! The MPs I used to know all wished they could emulate their civilian counterparts on "Cops". I wouldn't trust one of them to do anything other than play road guide.
Scoputs Out! Cavalry Ho!

They ought to take a page from WWII Atlantic convoys and put some strength in their escorts. I would think this is a task that Stryker could fulfill.
