STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich., July 23 (UPI) -- The U.S. Army has contracted General Dynamics to provide repairs and maintenance services on Stryker infantry combat vehicles.

U.S. company General Dynamics says its Land Systems unit was awarded the reset contract from the Army's Tank-automotive and Armaments Command. Under the $55.2 million deal, General Dynamics will reset 330 of the Army's Stryker infantry combat vehicles returning from the Iraqi combat theater.

The widely deployed eight-wheeled Stryker vehicles are designed to support Army combat operations and are produced in 10 configurations.

According to a news release General Dynamics will "service, repair and modify Stryker vehicles that are returning from Operation Iraqi Freedom, restoring them to a pre-combat, like-new condition in advance of reissuing the vehicles prior to their next deployment."
