The 4th ID is the most modern of our mech/heavy divisions. They have realtime knowledge of each other's locations through digital uplinking. This gives them a massive advantage on the battlefield because they know where all the eaches of their units are. When they locate an enemy target via other information technologies, then can move their closest, most useful assets to immediately counteract it.

The other division commanders work with radio and/or landline knowledge of where their units are.

It would be like a quarterback having precise knowledge of where all eligible receivers were at all times. He would know instantly who should get the ball when someone breaks open.

Yeah, but it doesn't mean a whole lot when the football team is still stuck on the bus.
