Photos - Strykers in Baghdad

Aug- 5-2006 » Filed Under: Photos & Videos

Yahoo! News has a handful of photos of Stryker vehicles operating in Baghdad (one, two, three, four, five). It is unclear whether these are vehicles from the 172nd or the 3/2 SBCT. The common caption is as follows:

U.S. military Stryker vehicles move in a convoy down a main highway in a Sunni populated area in Baghdad August 5, 2006. Several Stryker vehicles were seen Saturday in Baghdad's mostly Sunni neighborhood of Ghazaliyah, where Iraqi police used loudspeakers to encourage residents to go about their business and reopen shops because the additional troops were there to protect them. As part of a campaign to curb sectarian violence in Baghdad, the U.S. Army transferred 3,700 soldiers of the 172nd Stryker Brigade from northern Iraq to the capital to reinforce U.S. and Iraqi security forces.
