  • Those things are VERY cool. What country makes them?

  • The company is called General Dynamics. Whether or not they do all their manufacturing in the USA, I'm not sure. But I think so.

  • Inside the stryker you will find a sticker that does say made in Canada.

  • @Senkrad1234 These are manufactured in the USA by General Dynamics but the initial design is from Mowag which is a swiss company.

    Actually the Stryker is an evolution of the canadian LAV, which is itself an evolution of the Mowag Piranha.

  • @sonjawoodtli. Not quite The Swiss make many LAVs, but the stryker is American. Though its heavily based on Mowag.

  • Swiss made! Mowag

  • 2q bravo you have to get assigned to it

  • The Stryker is a highly versatile piece of engineering. However, they are more prone to causing collateral damage to the villages and towns we take them thru due to the AOA (Add-On Armor), and "slat" armor than the MRAP's. We are currently in the northwestern Baghdad area, and are configured for ATGM's and a Cat II MRAP (the RG-33 Plus). While the Stryker is great on highways, larger roadways, paved roads/dirt roads, it is a very difficult task driving them along the canal-ways.

  • 19d cavalry scout is youre best bet but its hard to find a spot in 19 delta

  • They Strykers are cool and all but they are a bullet magnet and your not protected as well as they say you are MRAP or the Cougar is the safest Squad vehicle

  • It's my understanding that it's not an MOS-based thing. You can be infantry, tanker, chemical, whatever. As long as the unit has Strykers, you just ask to get licensed to drive the Strykers. They have a bunch of different mods, some are used by medical companies for EVAC, some are used by EOD, you can be tons of MOSs and wind up driving your unit's Stryker.

  • Thanks wilburhog.

    Another vet said they never used 'Gavin' too but gave me the list that I mentioned. 'Can' is self-explanatory and 'hump' probably meant the 'track' did the hump instead of you.

    Happy trails!
