In preparation for possible attack, Soldiers from 3rd Brigade 2nd Infantry Division (Stryker) line the sides of a supply route guarding and protecting combat logistic patrols bringing necessary supplies to and from LSA Anaconda. With the
upsurge in recent attacks on convoys, the Stryker, a medium armored personnel vehicle boasting advances in weapons and technology, has proven its efficiency protecting vehicles, supplies and personnel. Since the Strykers have started
escorting, there has been a noticeable decrease in the effectiveness of attacks against convoys, said Sgt. Gaylord Hillary Reese, crew member.
