The Army is looking at new technologies and new ways to share information. With this exercise, BRAVE partner, we demonstrated that we can maintain situational awareness as we deploy a tactical command post for an operational unit. In this case, the 2nd Cavalry Regiment to an austere environment. In this exercise, we deployed a short notice from Germany to North Macedonia. We were able to load our vehicles onto a C-17, this is one of the first times that we've been able to share information in real time while we had a command post at the operational level in the air. And we were enabled by the 2nd Theater Signal Brigade to maintain situational awareness via TMDP, the tactical mission data platform, while we were in transit to North Macedonia. We'll have these augmented reality headsets where we are able to essentially sit at the same table as our higher headquarters, looking at the same picture, creating a shared understanding across large geographical distances. What's been really cool about this mission, this opportunity to come down here to North Macedonia has been getting to see how we operate in theater with in theater assets, while also testing out all this new technology. Being able to demonstrate these capabilities to our partners as well. With this technology, we are able to work through our intelligence and operations functions across multiple echelons. So we can have units of different levels sharing that information and collaborating. That allows us to get information from the strategic side, down to the operational side, down to the tactical level. It also allows us to share information in real time, back up to the strategic level, so that decision makers can make the best decision with the best information, rapidly and accurately.
