	Army Technology - Stryker 8-Wheel Drive Armoured Combat Vehicles
		Stryker is a family of eight-wheel drive combat vehicles, transportable in a C-130 aircraft, being built for the US Army by General Dynamics Land Systems - Canada (formerly General Motors Defense) and General Dynamics Land Systems Division of USA.
		An advantage to the brigade combat teams in having the mobile gun vehicle of the same Stryker family of vehicles is the commonality across the entire capability and the reduced logistics requirement.
		The Stryker mobile gun does not require a track-vehicle mechanic as would be required for example for the deployment of an M-8 mobile armoured gun system.

	The Photographers: Roy Stryker
		Stryker led the project from 1935 to 1943 and was responsible for launching the careers of photographers such as Dorothea Lange, Walker Evans and Gordon Parks, among others, and for building an unmatched photographic legacy of life in America.
		Stryker was involved in negotiating the transfer of the roughly 18,000 photographs to a proper repository.
		Stryker's photographers have taught us "that a picture could be beautiful and still possess a social conscience."

	HELL ON WHEELS: Stryker Combat Vehicle
		Thus was born the Stryker family of wheeled vehicles, a concept of heavy weaponry wedded to adaptability and quickness.
		The Stryker also has a few technical flourishes that James Bond would approve of: its tires can be inflated or deflated from inside the vehicle to adapt to surfaces that range from deep mud to hardtop, and it has run-flat tires, a built-in fire-suppression system and a self-recovery winch.
		The Infantry Transport Variant of the Stryker is C-130 deliverable, though with modifications: stowing external equipment into the crew compartment, dismounting the remote weapons unit, and deflating the tires prior to loading.

	NDM Article - Stryker Units Win Over Skeptics
		Not only did the Stryker vehicle have to contend with outside critics, but it also had to win over the soldiers as well, especially those who had been in heavy units before joining the brigade.

	The Seattle Times: Nation & World: Report finds Stryker vehicle too heavy
		The findings support claims of critics that the eight-wheeled Stryker — now in use in Iraq — won't meet the original goal of being able to roll into a C-130, be flown 1,000 miles and leave the plane immediately able to engage in combat.
		The Stryker program — expected to have a total cost of about $8.7 billion for acquiring about 1,800 vehicles —; is the centerpiece of the Army's controversial attempt in recent years to move away from heavy, tank-oriented forces and become more agile, both in reaching the battlefield and in maneuvering on it.
		Critics, however, worry that the Stryker is too vulnerable to enemy fire, and that attempts to strengthen it would decrease its ability to be deployed.
