All Stryker brigade gear unloaded at Tacoma

TACOMA, Wash. —

Tacoma and Lakewood police say 12 demonstrators were arrested since last weekend protesting a ship unloading Fort Lewis equipment at the Port of Tacoma.

Members of the Port Militarization Resistance object to the use of the port to support the Iraq war.

Fort Lewis spokesman Joseph Piek (peek) said Tuesday that all 260 Strykers, more than 400 other vehicles and about 700 cargo containers were transported.

The equipment belongs to the 4-2 Stryker brigade - 4th Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division - which has returned from Iraq.
