 <title>Military Transformation: The Army and OSD Met Legislative Requirements for First Stryker Brigade Design Evaluation, but Issues Remain for Future Brigades</title>
</titleInfo>
<abstract>The Army continues to transform units, known as Stryker brigades,
into lighter, rapidly deployable, and more capable forces.	 
Because Stryker brigades are an entirely new design, the fiscal  
year 2002 National Defense Authorization Act required the Army to
conduct an evaluation of the design, to include deployment of the
brigade and execution of combat missions across the full spectrum
of potential threats. The act also required the Secretary of	 
Defense to certify that the evaluation results indicate the	 
design is both operationally effective and suitable. As one in a 
series of reviews of Army transformation, GAO monitored the	 
evaluation to assess (1) whether the Army and the Secretary of	 
Defense met legislative requirements, (2) how the Army evaluated 
both the operational effectiveness and suitability of the	 
brigade&apos;s design, (3) what the brigade&apos;s performance was during  
the evaluation, and (4) how the Army plans to mitigate issues	 
identified during the evaluation.</abstract>
