Your picture needs more 'Murica

Stryker MGS can't really fire sideways because they roll over

Paging nowaypablo because I would love to hear a professional artillery officer rag on the MGS

I'm being assigned next year to a Stryker brigade combat team. That's a brigade-sized element of about 4,500 soldiers designed to support 4 battalions worth of Strykers whizzing around the AO with their wheels falling off. So thanks for the tag, but I really don't want to talk about it :D

LOL I'm sorry.

We'd see 'em coming out of Ft. Lewis covered in venetian blinds and go "that's not the sort of institutionalized improvisation you like to see."

I sincerely hope they aren't the "do not aim as illustrated in this picture" edition?

I'd like to know where you source RPG-defragmenting venetian blinds lol. SBCTs have a lot of moving parts and I'm on the fire support side, but since you're asking it's an "Arctic" unit so we've got more tracked vehicles in the brigade than the typical Stryker breakdown, thankfully. But yes, we've got the big-gun ones.
