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

Remember 20 years ago when adults were criticizing kids for playing all those video games?
They were practicing for war!
