| M2 .50 cal | 64 | 8 | 5 |  |
Initially intended as a transitional vehicle between Cold War-era armored vehicles and a newer generation, the Stryker has lingered around and proliferated throughout the Army as a cost-effective backbone for brigade combat teams that bridge the gap between heavy armor and infantry BCTs.
The base model of Stryker fits up to nine soldiers and mounts either an M2 machine gun or Mk19 automatic grenade launcher in a manned or remotely-operated turret.
A host of variants exist due to the platform's unexpected longevity, including reconnaissance and command variants, a mortar carrier, MEDEVAC, and engineer vehicles. For the purposes of Down Range, most variants should share the same statistics as the base model unless a variant is provided below.

Mounting the same 30mm gun turret as the U.S. Marine Corps' ACV-30, the Stryker Dragoon is a relatively recent variant intended to increase the firepower of the Army's wheeled armor.
Aside from the modified chassis to accommodate the heavier gun turret, the Dragoon is identical for Down Range purposes to the base model.
