Are the Drivers PEnhancement kit and/or the Mine Protection kit standard on Strykers in Korea? I was modeling an MGS and wasn't sure if these items were only added when in Afghanistan or Iraq or if they are put on all overseas Strykers now. Thanks

Looks like some Strykers deployed in Korea back in 2008 were already fitted with the DVE :

To my knowledge there aren't any forward deployed Stryker-equipped units in Korea so the vehicles would either follow whatever the policy is for units in the United States or units temporarily deploying to a forward location.

OK, thanks. I saw some video of some MGSs practicing live fire with some K1A1s so was feeling inspired.

If you just wait a few weeks Jason you might have a whole bunch of new 'in Korea' topics to build.

I'll admit that current events influenced my online searching, although hopefully it doesn't come to that
