On a hot August day at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington, soldiers from 3rd Platoon, Bravo Company, 1-2 Stryker Brigade Combat Team stressed their operational limits to see what capabilities the Army’s most modern programs of record offered. The combined kit from the Program Executive Office for Ground Combat Systems (PEO GCS); PEO Command, Control, and Communications ‒ Tactical (PEO C3T); PEO Intelligence, Electronic Warfare, and Sensors (PEO IEW&S) and PEO Soldier provided a cool breeze through the fog of war. Data radios, vehicle cameras, and augmented reality headsets gave the platoon unprecedented situational awareness, increasing its lethality and allowing for better informed tactical decisions.
