Of the subject you mention the 1st Stryker Brigade on your site, was that the unit that the 9th Regimental Combat Team (1/9 INF, 2/9 INF, 3/9 INF) got reflagged to in 1995 or 1996?
I was in 3rd Brigade, 2nd ID, from 1998 to 2001. It had actually been re-flagged from a Brigade of the 3rd Arm'd Division out of Germany in I think 96.
When I got there, it was the "red headed stepchild" brigade that pretty much existed to support operations in Korea. People used to see us deployed places, wearing the Indianhead patch, and launch into discussions about Camp Red Cloud, or other such places on the DMZ, to which we'd have to explain now ALL the 2nd ID folks were in Korea. We got released from that mission I think about 1999, when the Chief of Staff announced that one Brigade would be converted over to a mobile force with light vehicles. This was in response to the issues over the ill-fated Kosovo mission, where the Army took forever to get heavy vehicles in place. The name "Stryker" came much later (it's also the name of the street that the Brigade HQ is on at Ft Lewis, I wonder if there was a connection there). When I was there, it was all about the conversion from a mechanized unit to one with wheeled vehicles. We tested all kinds of vehicles from various nations (the Italian one was the worst, none of our dismounts could even fit in the thing) and initially started using the Canadian LAV-3. We knew the new vehicles were on the drawing board, they came in actually much faster than anyone thought they would. I left active duty in May of 2001, we were still using LAVs up to that time. Cav wasn't my branch then, but we did have Cav units organic to the Brigade by then. I resigned my commission for good in 2006 as I'd had enough of the Green Machine due to messed up legs that I'm still fighting the VA over, but that's a totally different story that I'm quite sure nobody wants to hear!
