Stryker Brigade Combat Team

A Stryker Brigade Combat Team (SBCT) is a unit in the U.S. Army that uses Stryker vehicles—wheel-mounted armored combat vehicles for mobility and protection. SBCTs are designed for rapid deployment, combining infantry, armor, artillery, and support elements to engage in diverse combat scenarios. They balance speed and firepower, making them effective in both urban and open environments. Each brigade typically consists of about 3,800 soldiers and is capable of conducting various operations, including reconnaissance, peacekeeping, and full-scale combat, emphasizing flexibility and responsiveness in modern warfare.
