A Stryker vehicle sits outside a battle damage repair

A Stryker vehicle sits outside a battle damage repair facility at Camp As Sayliyah, Qatar, Dec. 23. The vehicle, constructed in 2002, recently finished a refurbishment process after spending most of its "life" in battle. Stryker reset procedures consist of completing annual service tasks, installing upgrades, steam cleaning, as well as removing and servicing all hydraulic pumps, wheel drives and gears. At the Qatar site, Strykers are also repainted, inside and out, to give passengers an increased sense of security and comfort.
