Cyber-Soldiers

If all goes as planned, and I complete basic training mid-March (add three weeks if I'm chosen for Airborne school) I may be sent overseas wired up with some high-tech gear. Actually it's unlikely they'll be giving this stuff to PFCs.

Following successful field testing last summer, the Army is planning to deploy its new Land Warrior System within the year, bringing the Army a giant step closer to electronic networking of the battlefield.

The wearable, computerized system includes lasers, navigation modules, radios and other technologically advanced equipment to help Soldiers shoot, move and communicate more accurately on the battlefield. Ultimately, it will improve their ability to fight effectively and survive.
