I think what Eddie meant to say is:

1) Blue Force Tracker is a computer program (among other things) that ties with GPS.

2) FBCB2 is communications system that includes a laptop so you can blog on the battlefield.

3) DAGR is a hand-held GPS.

4) PLGR is another hand-held GPS.

The pictures are great! Next time I'm looking for bargain electronics in a Kabul marketplace I'll know what to look for.
