Check out https://www.battleorder.org they made the great looking Stryker platoon graphic! In this video, we’ll learn about the specifications, armament, unit organization, and tactics of Stryker Brigade Combat Teams. Full disclosure, I’m going to be upfront with my bias here. I love the Stryker. When I wake up I eat Stryker cereal. It’s my favorite armored vehicle that the US infantry uses because I was in a Stryker unit when I deployed to Iraq so I’ll be able to give you my personal experience and perspective on this system.

Does anyone know why the Stryker ramp drops so slowly? Can anyone out there tell me why we can’t add cameras around the vehicle so the infantry inside can have some situational awareness or at least something to watch on a screen instead of having to sit there and ask each other what they miss most about home!?

Let’s find out the history of the Strykers development. It was originally supposed to be a part of the reimaging of the Army from the old Cold War ways to modern operations. It was part of a transformation theory where a few key leaders in the US Military envisioned a future where the Army was more flexible meaning it could take on a wide variety of mission sets and could adapt to fighting in many various locations more independently. It also needed to be technologically advanced for the modern battlefield which we now take for granted but the Stryker has the ability for gunners to see a video feed of what each other gunner in their platoon is aiming at with just the flick of a switch.

Forward-thinking General Eric Shinseki came up with the idea of reorganizing the military into the way modern brigades operate in teams of 4,000 soldiers who could deploy all around the world very quickly. This system ended up being perfectly suited for the conflicts the US military would find itself in where you have a brigade combat team take turns rotating and through an area of operations. In that AO the BCT conducts full spectrum operations.

So for most operations, you’re moving around out the wire in groups of 4 strykers. Each stryker has a different role and responsibility. 2 of these strykers have 50 caliber machine guns on top while 2 of them have MK 19 automatic grenade launchers. It looks like in the future instead of splitting these Dragoon 30mm versions across all the brigades they are going to organize it differently. The Army is going to have some Stryker brigades that are equipped with the 30mm variant and the javelin missiles and then it will have other brigades that are light stryker brigades with the 50 cal.

So speaking of the new Dragoon version here’s the new loadout for that variant. It will have an XM813 30mm autocannon which has a capacity for 150 rounds of Mark 238 High Explosive Incendiary Tracer rounds. Then they can switch to Mark 258 armor piercing fin stabilized sabot rounds for engaging enemy armored vehicles. The system is stabilized which gives the Dragoon Stryker the ability to fire accurately while still being on the move. The system functions like most Remote Weapons System where the gunner controls it from inside the vehicle where they can view targets with either day or night thermal sites. The laser range finder automatically adjusts the aim. The system weighs nearly 400 lbs almost half a ton in additional weight to the Stryker. It has a barrel length of 94 inches and can fire at 200 rounds per minute. It can hit targets out to 3,000 meters which definitely is a range increase over the 50 cal as well.
