Description

Figure A-9. Structure of an Army Medium (Stryker) Brigade

The Army currently has two brigade combat teams, called Stryker BCTs (SBCTs), that are considered medium brigades (see Figure A-9). SBCTs are intended to provide the Army with a force that is lighter and easier to deploy than heavy BCTs but has more combat capability than light BCTs. The main elements of an SBCT are three subordinate infantry battalions, equipped with Stryker vehicles. Those battalions include the Mobile Gun System Stryker variant for increased firepower.

By design, SBCTs have extremely limited logistics capabilities. The Army has a dedicated type of corps-level support battalion, referred to as the "corps plug," for each SBCT (that battalion is not included in Figure A-9). Employing an SBCT would almost always require deploying at least the corps plug in addition to the SBCT.

The Army is in the process of converting four more brigades to the SBCT structure. All SBCTs are considered Force XXI units, and the Army's current plan for modularity does not call for changing their structure. Most of the new SBCTs will be divisional brigades, despite the fact that there are no medium or Stryker divisions.

Note: BSB = brigade support battalion; HHB = headquarters and headquarters battery; HHC = headquarters and headquarters company; MI = military intelligence. (Other symbols are defined in Figures A-1 and A-2.)
