@Austin-Powers, you might want to put the citation/caption of the DoD pics at the bottom when you post them. While they're free and clear for use, it's still polite to give credit to the photographer.

Outstanding footage of long range assault via 53E's - and look at the cool mobile device (Android) tech highlighted in the assault - was not aware mobile devices/phones are commonplace kit now in operations. Wondering what kind of devices there are? Who is the vendor?

Also who is the chick sitting in the crew seat at the beginning?

PsyOps. Everyone knows how much a SoCal 14 year girl texting her BFF annoys the shit out of Haji.

.......or it's "bring your daughter to work" day.

BLUF - The chick is a USMC vendor rep for the flight portion of the USMC "Tactical Service Orientated Architecture." The system is fairly new but allows Marines to download certain apps for tactical planning. What you are seeing in the video is both the "Small Unit Decision Aids" and "Mobile Patrol Planning and Assessment Tool." The overall idea is to allow all the players to share information seamlessly across the operation spectrum in a single app environment.

But hey, why let me screw up the explanation when a cartoon can do the job better!

The US Military. Leveraging old technology 15 years too late since...well, forever.

Neither of these are great pictures, but if you are the SNA that was at KAGS on the 14th, this is you.

Down at Red River Army Depot lookin' at some heavy steel when I stumbled across this oldster at an Army Surplus store of all places...aardvarks were pretty cool.

It is real, but it is in shit-bad state.

Sadly that is how many static displays look. Uncle won't pay for the up keep and the maintaining facility can't afford the upkeep!
