Stryker is so much more than the vehicle. The key to the Stryker is communication. It's a new way to fight.

We always look to where our units come from. They are solidifying themselves as part of that brigade's history. And for them to come back and face the possibility of having to roll up their brigade colors, they take a hit.

It's very up in the air. We haven't heard anything.

It encourages the soldiers to build their team and to get out there and find people that they would like to serve with, that they would like to go to war with. It compensates them for their time.

If they took the 55th Brigade away, I'm sure we will probably see a number of units shift around. If the brigade went away, there wouldn't be the 228th. They would roll up their colors. It could go any which way. Obviously we're going to want to maintain some sort of presence regionally. Our mission is to provide assistance in times of natural disaster.

It gets vague as far as how many people would be cut.
