Brigade executes massive move through Meadville By Ryan SmithCAMBRIDGE SPRINGS — The new site of Pennsylvania Army National Guard’s 56th Stryker Brigade is expected to be in operation by mid-July.
Construction work started last year on the $19.5 million rapid deployment force readiness center near Cambridge Springs, which includes the 64,000-square-foot center and a 20,000-square-foot maintenance shop. National Guard units in Meadville, Erie and Corry are part of the new brigade centered around the Army’s new combat vehicle — the Stryker. It’s a 19-ton, eight-wheeled light armored vehicle that military officials say bridges the gap between light and heavy forces. A Stryker Brigade Combat Team can be on the ground in any part of the world in 96 hours, according to Army officials. The center and maintenance buildings are being built on about 10 of the 50 acres of state-owned land near the State Correctional Institution at Cambridge Springs, a women’s prison.
