Stryker brigades are to help fill a gap in capabilities between current heavy and light forces--heavy forces require too much time to deploy, and light infantry forces lack the combat power and mobility of the heavy forces. The Army has a goal to be able to deploy a Stryker brigade anywhere in the world with 4 days. As part of a series of ongoing reviews of Army transformation, GAO assessed the Army's progress in (1) meeting its deployment goal for Stryker brigades and (2) supporting and sustaining a deployed Stryker brigade in combat operations. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-801/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-801.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-801/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-801.pdf GAO-03-801 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-801 Other Written Product GAO-03-801; Military Transformation: Realistic Deployment Timelines Needed for Army Stryker Brigades; Combat readiness Defense contingency planning Military forces Military operations Mobilization Strategic mobility forces Strategic planning Abrams Tank C-130 Aircraft C-17 Aircraft C-5 Aircraft DOD Stryker Brigade Galaxy Aircraft Globemaster Aircraft Hercules Aircraft M1A1 Tank Public Law 107-107
