原文：

On February 27, 2002, the Army formally named its new Interim Armored Vehicle the ‘Stryker. ‘ The Stryker is a highly deployable-wheeled armored vehicle that combines firepower, battlefield mobility, survivability and versatility.

The eight-wheeled Stryker combat vehicle is the U.S. Army's Stryker Brigade Combat Team primary combat and combat support platform and the focal point of this ongoing phase of Army Transformation. Significantly lighter and more transportable than existing armored fighting vehicle （AFV）, the Stryker fulfills an immediate requirement to provide Combatant Commanders with a strategically deployable （C-17/C-5） and operationally deployable （C-130） brigade capable of rapid movement anywhere on the globe in a combat ready configuration.
