Can anyone tell me if (or have there been?) there are currently any American or Canadian Stryker equipped units deployed to Afghanistan?

If so, can you tell me...

which nationalities?
which units?
what locations?
in what sizes?

Thanks for any help!

Cheers Lads, & Happy New Years.

War in Afghanistan (2001-present):
The 5th Brigade 2nd Infantry Division was the first Stryker unit sent to Afghanistan, deployed in summer 2009, as part of a troop level increase. The brigade's 1st Battalion, 17th Infantry Regiment has suffered the heaviest losses of any Stryker battalion to date.[43]
In June 2010, the 2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment deployed to Afghanistan relieving 5th Brigade 2nd Infantry Division.

On July 5, the U.S. Army's 5th Stryker Brigade arrived in Kandahar province for a year-long tour of duty.
