Yep, soon a platoon if US soldiers will be able to take on brigade or division size conventional forces.
Of course their gear will cost more than a conventional divisions too.

When the current equipment upgrade is finished in '07 we will be nearing $100,000 per infantryman for standard issue combat loadout.
