Rogers: "Depot Continues Tradition of Excellence"

Press Release

At a ceremony at the Anniston Army Depot (ANAD) today, Congressman Mike Rogers praised the Depot's excellent work in rolling out the Stryker DVH (Double-V Hull) exchange vehicle. The Stryker DVH exchange vehicle applies the Double-V Hull technology and other improvements to existing Stryker vehicles to increase their combat survivability. The enhancements cost approximately 40 percent less than building a new vehicle from scratch thereby making it a solid investment for both the warfighter and taxpayer.

In his remarks Rogers said, "The Stryker is a proven combat vehicle that has saved countless lives of our brave warfighters. I am proud of the role that the dedicated workforce at ANAD plays in this effort."

Rogers added, "As Congress works toward funding a 4th brigade set these vehicles, our nation's enemies must understand that if they chose to step onto the battlefield with the United States, it will not be a fair fight."

Rogers serves as Chairman of the Strategic Forces subcommittee and a senior member of the House Agriculture and Homeland Security Committees.
