Stryker vehicles are heading out of Alaska on the way to Alabama
FAIRBANKS, Alaska - Big changes are moving forward with Fort Wainwright Army Alaska’s transition to Arctic strategy as the first round of Stryker vehicles were loaded onto railcars early Tuesday Morning.
“[It’s the] first time for a unit to be focused like this in the Army and we are at a very unique geographical location,” said 1st Brigade 11th Airborne Division Captain Erik Peterson. “It is a unique mission and we are equipping it to do that mission.”In this first movement, 68 Strykers are being loaded up, expected to make it to Anchorage this weekend.
“Normally being in the middle of Alaska, everything is a multi-modem move,” Capt. Peterson elaborated. “So everything is going to get on a train, then it is going to get on a boat, then it is going to get on another train and/or maybe trucks in the lower 48, so everything is handed off to the transportation provider.
