Note the very first sentence: "An immediate and urgent need exists for an air transportable Interim Brigade Combat Team (IBCT), capable of deployment to anywhere on the globe in a combat ready configuration."
Are you still going to insist that I'm wrong?
Stan:
I insist that you have always hated the Stryker vehicle and nothing in the world is going to change your mind. You hated it when the concept was brought forth and hate it now.
The Stryker of 2K11 is far different than the ones of 2K2 and the concept has proven itself to be far superior to a 113 for the doctrine of the SBCT's.
So, why in the world do you want to bring it up again? I mean, the thread concerns testing and not the dead debate over what vehicle should be issued to SBCT's.
