I was thinking I would like to build a diorama of Stryker and hummer vehicles together. I wanted to know if these vehicles would ever travel together or be seen on a mission together.
Not that this has to be perfectly realistic but I would like it to seem possible.

What other vehicles would be seen with these as well?

Thanks for any info.

They do not usually operate together, but it is possible. They would most likely be Uparmored HMMWVs, M1114 or M1151, depending on the time frame.

Here are some in a training environment. They are at the National Training Center (NTC) at Ft Irwin, CA.

I have not come across any photos of them together in actual missions. It's hard to see but one in the far left top background appears to be a Humvee parked next to Strykers. Here's a photo from Iraq somewhere:

It rather looks like a M-ATV...

What kind of scenario do you have in mind? combat operations in Afganistan or Iraq? Or some training mission?
You can do a search yourself here:

More training pics :

"A U.S. Army Stryker armored vehicle provides cover for a halted convoy during Saber Junction 2012 in Amberg, Germany, Oct. 15, 2012."



"Soldiers from 4th Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division and airmen from 5th Air Support Operations Squadron, along with observer-controllers, prepare for a Joint Air Attack Team exercise here June 11. The mission was part of the unit’s monthlong training at the National Training Center to prepare for its deployment to Afghanistan later this fall." (2012)

Thanks for a lot of good reference here. I'm thinking I want to model a scene of vehicles on patrol through a middle eastern city of some sort. Maybe interacting with locals or dealing with gun fire are my early thoughts. I just got the M1151 Academy model. I have a stryker so I was thinking of them together. The diorama doesn't need to be a completely authentic scene. I just like to have it believable.

Thanks guys.

Just like in James Dietz's The Last Patrol painting :
