I have Stryker #1 almost ready for the application of decals. I want to make it a local critter - based at Ft. Lewis just a few miles north.

Can any of our incredibly smart, attractive, and altruistic Stryker experts here key me on on what numbering to put on the nose, etc. in order to make mine be a Ft. Lewis assigned Stryker?

A photo I took almost 5 years ago at the McChord air show of a Stryker on display shows the following on its nose :
left side: 2I-5-20I right side : A-31

Now it was in front of a big banner reading "Stryker Brigade Combat Team I Corps and Ft. Lewis" so I am assuming this was a Ft. Lewis critter - but I want to make sure the numbering is up-to-date?

Sadly, I had no idea I'd ever have a kit of this, so didn't take the usual gazillions of photos I would take had I expected to build one.

Thanks in advance!

left side: 2I-5-20I right side : A-31


This bumper number would read
Left side: 2nd Infantry Division, 5th Battalion, 20th Infantry Regiment
Right side: A Company, 3rd platoon, platoon leader's vehicle.

Rob (Sabot) is correct. Just make sure the 2I-5-20I is on the vehicle's right side and the A-31 on the vehicle's left side. You guys are saying left and right based on looking at the front of the vehicle. When in doubt, use the images 18Bravo provided. The placement is the same even if the exact unit is different.
