 Soldiers, 1st Battalion, 35th Armored Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division, entered a simulated village during the first phase of network integration evaluation, 13.1. Soldiers were equipped with a net warrior system, which is designed to provide situational awareness to dismounted leaders during combat operations. The ability to communicate with the BFTs and everybody else, you can see everybody on the field know where they're at is really helpful. People say net warrior facilitates faster and more accurate decisions during the tactical fight. There's a lot of things we can set up with the net warrior, plus we can communicate with it at the same time seamlessly. The end user device is both portable and lightweight, which soldiers say is definitely a plus for today's warfighter. It's really small, it's light, so it doesn't really hinder anything at all. Reporting for the Brigade Modernization Command, I'm Lieutenant Colonel Diana Baghe.
