STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich. –- General Dynamics Land Systems recently has been awarded three contracts by the U.S. Army TACOM Life Cycle Management Command to support the Stryker infantry combat vehicle. The contracts are worth a combined $92.3 million.

Stryker brigades have logged an estimated 25 million miles during 13 rotations to war zones. The Stryker is an eight-wheeled combat vehicle that is lighter, smaller and more readily deployable than other Army combat vehicles.
