.More Stryker brigades on the way?
"I've said it many times: the Stryker is the perfect vehicle for counterinsurgency operations in Iraq. Tougher than a Humvee and smaller than a tank, it moves nimbly through crowded markets and streets that would otherwise thwart a Bradley. While the 5th Stryker Brigade will test its mettle in Afghanistan for the first time this summer, the Army is looking to add more Stryker brigades to the arsenal:"

I've asked some of those who have done Irag by Stryker and Afhan without--- They see no real purpose for Strykers in Afgan except in very limited transport roles. To get to where the fight is, they need ATVs. To fight and win, they need to lose the body armor and go native. Lots of foot patrols that last days and listening posts out amongst the mountain tops is the only way to identify and engage. And of course, lots and lots of UAVS for back up.
