QDR Outlines Plan for Additional Stryker Brigades

Jan-30-2010 » Filed Under:

Whether or not the Stryker wheeled vehicle is the right vehicle for battlefield conditions in Afghanistan is a question that remains unanswered. What we do know: DOD wants a lot more of them. A drafter version of the quadrennial defense review (QDR), the once every four year congressionally mandated strategy review, has been leaked and is making the rounds in Washington defense policy circles.

The draft QDR calls for nearly doubling the number of Stryker brigades while trimming the number of heavy brigade combat teams. The Army currently has seven Stryker BCTs, six active and one reserve. The draft QDR calls for up to 13 Stryker BCTs.
