ARLINGTON, Va. — The Army largely will stand fast while Defense Department reviews take place in 2005, but one area they will attack is force protection.

The Army is budgeting $1.025 billion for “mobility assets,” a senior Army budget official said Friday, including $451.5 million for 3,196 tactical medium vehicles and $224 million for 360 up-armored Humvees and 1,705 heavy chassis Humvees.

The Army budget also includes $875 million to buy 240 Stryker tactical wheeled vehicles, enough to outfit the Army’s sixth Stryker Brigade.
