What It Takes To Be On A $10 Million Army Stryker Crew | Boot Camp | Business Insider

With over 3,000 units in service, the Stryker armored infantry carrier vehicle has become one of the most ubiquitous vehicles in the Army. Able to transport nine dismounted infantry soldiers along with the driver and vehicle commander, the Stryker features a variety of powerful weapons systems. Atop the Dragoon variant sits a 30 mm autocannon as well as a .50-caliber machine gun. With a base unit price of $5 million, the Dragoon variant requires another $5 million upgrade for its high-tech weapons system. Chief video correspondent Graham Flanagan embedded with the Army's 2nd Cavalry Regiment during a training exercise in southern Germany, where he got an in-depth tour of the vehicle from crew members and rode in the vehicle during a combat simulation where Strykers transported soldiers to the fight before firing on an enemy stronghold. 00:00 Introduction 00:44 Weapons 01:47 The Crew 03:06 History of the Stryker 04:02 Convoy on the Autobahn 05:43 Stryker Gets Stuck 07:08 Stryker's Foreign Counterparts 07:38 Stryker Tour 13:22 Stryker Combat Training 15:56 Credits More from our trip to Germany with the US Army: How US Army Drone Soldiers Are Trained In Germany: https://youtu.be/mh9RtpZPpVo?si=mVYc2xzZ9y5Nv7Sp Why the US Operates 750 Military Bases Around the World: https://youtu.be/blMRs6Wh-G0?si=4omTyoUoU7LDqKo1 ------------------------------------------------------ #stryker #combattraining #usarmy #usarmysoldier #apc #dragoon #BootCamp Business Insider tells you all you need to know about business, finance, tech, retail, and more.
