Strykers are not panacea!,
By Dimitrios (Greece) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Stryker Brigade Combat Team: Rethinking Strategic Responsiveness and Assessing Deployment Options (Paperback)
It is hard to believe that an analyst can pack so much detailed information in such a few pages, but this book is a real gem for the serious reader of military matters who wants to formulate a realistic view of the Stryker Brigade Combat Teams doctrine. The calculations regarding the current ability of the US Army to transport SBCTs around the world are exhaustive and revealing and one gets a fine sense of how complicated are the tasks of the American war planners. Time, distances, port and airport capacities, weights and aircraft lifting capacities are examined against realistic scenarios of war crises around the globe. The US Army should think a lot more about the need to transform more than six brigades to SBCTs. Heavy forces are still very important (and I think that they will remain so in the next decades) and the airlift is not the strategic panacea of the 21st century.
