Latest Stryker variant arrives for duty

The new Stryker variant replaces the MCV-A, which transported mortars that had to be unloaded and set up to fire. The MCV-B’s 120mm mortar is mounted and fires from inside the vehicle through doors that swing open atop the vehicle. It also includes a digital fire control system that can receive fire missions and help the vehicle’s five-man crew aim the mortar more effectively.
