One thing's for sure though. The infantry will be very happy not to have to lug around all that extra weight any more!

I do not have first hand experience with this, but have been told by several people that "were there, saw it happen" things like new troops when having issues with there blue force tracker and a older troop (normally platoon sergeant some times squad leader) pulls out a map just blowing there mind. Seeing as how attached to there tech the younger generation is I can believe it, asking around to the kids I know as none of them knew how to read my backup map book in my car.
