5/5/2005 - EIELSON AIR FORCE BASE, Alaska (AFPN) -- With a handshake and the roar of a jet engine at Fort Polk, La., an Eielson unit became the first in the Air Force to own the latest addition to the service’s inventory – the Stryker armored vehicle.
In a May 5 ceremony at Fort Polk, 3rd Air Support Operations Squadron officials obtained five of the Army’s high-tech armored vehicles. The squadron is assigned to the 354th Operations Group at Eielson, but its primary customer is the Army’s 172nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team at Fort Wainwright, Alaska.
