US Army, WASHINGTON — Even as the first Stryker Brigade Combat Team experiences its inaugural mission in Iraq, a plan is going forth to enhance future Stryker brigades.
The plan focuses on enhancing the aviation, fire support, computer networks and sensor capabilities of SBCTs 5 and 6, and retrofitting brigades 1 through 4 with newer technology as it becomes available.
Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld approved an Army enhancement plan Dec. 8 that provides for the acquisition of Stryker Brigade Combat Teams 5 and 6.
The approval gives the Army permission to begin spending money for the new brigades
