I try to stay current with the tech in my fiction writing. In my latest I'm working on, the protag is a former Marine, who uses a monocular night scope and an IR pointer on his rifle. If you get time, see if I make too many errors here. It's been decades since I was an operator.

"Castigo Cay," extended excerpt.

You are definitely dialed in, I purposely did not mention the IR laser. It’s now deployed and a crowd pleaser, we are integrating it into shoulder-fired missile and JDAM targeting. No more red laser beams either giving us away or can’t be seen in daylight.
