Ran across this a couple of days ago and just got a chance to post it on FR. I think our usual suspects may have comments equally as pithy.
Winds of Change is a pretty good blog.

Please see:"Rules for a Gunfight" Rule #11 "Always cheat, always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose."
Sounds like someone is applying the rules on a practical level.

Communications between units, their command and other services is vital - but was ignored for decades.
Army units used Korean War vintage radios through the ‘70’s and well into the '80's.
As some on here know I was in our Army’s navy. We would conduct JLOTS operations with Navy forces every year. Every year we would write up a Lessons Learned about the near impossibility of Army vessels communicating with Navy vessels without using our civilian marine radios. Signal flags were woefully inadequate - and only worked if the wind was blowing the right direction. Blinker light was slow and depended on visibility and distance.
I’m glad some one finally woke up.

Good article. I just hope few (or none) of these systems run on Microsoft stuff.

Blue Force Tracking gains ground"I never used another paper map product for the rest of the war and fought every fight thereafter using Blue Force Tracking," [Lt. Col. John] Charlton [commander of 1-15 Infantry, 3rd Infantry Division] said.
I used to run a tank battalion TOC. Seems like technology has changed so much that for me to try and function in a TOC now would be like a gunner's mate on the Monitor trying to fire phasers on the Starship Enterprise

Pro Military News!
"US troops are begining to deploy some rather advanced technologies on the battlefield, plus fighting doctrines to leverage these technologies. The other NATO countries can't begin to match these capabilities and integrating those troops with our forces that do use them is a recipe for real problems.... How on earth would you integrate large numbers of NATO forces into those scenarios, even if there weren't the ego / geopolitical games about targetting and risk taking???"
