Stryker impacts

says that the coming of a Stryker brigade to Hawai'i is "not without its
challenges as 291 eight-wheeled Stryker vehicles compete with private cars on
public highways and raise literally tons of dust elsewhere, as 810 soldiers are
added to create the 3,500-member Stryker brigade, and as the Army acquires
thousands of additional acres of private land for training. ... The Army's
3,000-page environmental review frankly admits to significant impacts on
cultural and biological resources. ... The potential for harm to the land from
military activities is staggering; $400 million was not nearly enough to restore
Kaho'olawe."
