Strykers bring new commo gear to Iraq and Afghanistan

I suppose this has gone on since the Roman Legion was first issued the pilum...

But I worry that we're getting too high tech. While logistics have always been a military problem these days an army can be thrown into chaos by a shortage of batteries for all the high tech toys. Heck they barely teach old fashion map & compass land navigation anymore!

They are discussing the Land Warrior gear that 4-9 IN introduced and the equipment is top notch, giving incredible situational awareness never before used. Have no fear, the SBCT's very much train on the most basic and advanced fundamentals of war fighting, just in case the batteries are not available.

We already got F-117's that fly themselves to the target and back all the pilot has to do is guide the smart bomb in.
