The origins of the Stryker Assault Vehicle

Few people know that the Stryker Assault Vehicle we know today, got its heritage, and was truly birthed from the less well known "Urban Insult Vehicle". The lessons learned from the numerous (water baloon)attacks, the rapid deployments (within seconds from any maintenance or chow line event), the versatile configuration changes(upgraded weaponry to jet streams from gas powered pressure washers)and on the move mission change capability, was the inspiration for todays combat mobility vehicles.
