Description of the Soldier
Each soldier carries the lightest possible load but still have enough equipment for the task at hand. Once completion of basic training, the soldier is issued a "war bag" filled with the equipment needed for the military life. The bag is made up of GPS locator, Military watch, 2 sets of BDU’s, gasmask, medical and purification kits, night vision goggles, and night time gear (sleeping bad, tent, ect...) All of this gear is put into a load bearing bag designed to take distribute the weight inside. Spec Ops soldier also have some different equipment. SpecOps carry C4 explosives and more ammo but less normal gear. For example, not every specops soldier has a medical kit, only the medic does. This is to spread out the equipment thought the specops team for faster movements.
Clothing
This is a very important factor when in the war zone. Resistance, comfort, and stealth are the key factors. A soldier needs to move quickly to avoid dangerous situations. The Battle Dress Uniform (BDU) is designed to give the soldier plenty of ventilation on the desert uniform, a ventilation system or warmth system and the winter BDU, which keeps body heat in but has ventilation in to reduce sweat. The defense "flack jacket" is much lighter that the traditional jacket and has padded inside to keep it a conferrable fit. A new system was created to give the solder the option of zipping on more armor. For example the pads can be zipped to the shoulders and arms to cover that region. The BDU is also designed in the mind of any chemical/biological attack, with a built in layer to keep the soldier safe for up to 8 hours.
Weapon System
A standard soldier carries a modified M16A3 5.56mm Assault Rifle. One in the hands of the designers they realized that some sort of weapon scope was needed. So they did some research and came up with the Thermal Weapons Sight. This system is one of the most advanced systems for an individual weapon. This allows the soldier to view from night vision to heat signals. Once someone is spotted, using the microchip inside the BDU the soldier can tell if the person is friend or enemy. This system has also been modified for the sniper rifle to have a 10x zoom for the .50 cal and a 5x zoom for the M24, and can also be fitted onto the AT4 Anti-Tank weapon.
Electronics Systems
The electronics systems for the soldier are brand new and are in a testing phase. The GPS locator is one of the most advanced GPS's around. Once a soldier has been briefed for a mission the mission plans are then uploaded to the GPS computer system and the soldier sees the mission right there. Another system was built in to ensure no enemy would get their hands on valuable information. The GPS can scrap all the data with a scan of the dog tags. Once this is done, nothing will be left on the computer except for name, rank and serial number. The computer can also be used as a hand held radio which switches channels every 10th of a second to ensure no scrambling can be done. Another feature added is an online interactive map where commanders can draw onto the screen and have it show up on the soldiers system. The watch can also work with the GPS by plugging it into the GPS for time at the latest time zone and an auto set feature. The watch is very useful in all situation especially in water or cold weather climates. The watch can tell elevation, depth, temptation, and the essential body function such as heartbeat.
The night vision goggles are a necessity for the soldier seeing as how night strikes are a specialty. The goggles have a friend or foe (FF) system to determine one from the other. The lever of light can also be dimmed to fit the soldier’s eyes and has a "range to target" meter to show how far away something is. The system can be viewed through both eyes or one of the lenses can be pushed up to be viewed thought the soldier’s stronger eye. The night vision goggles are attached to the helmet witch is a different system in its self. The helmet has a microphone and one ear speaker connected. This can be muted, or volume controlled. There are 10 different channels each for a squad, platoon, company, and on so every soldier gets the latest details. The finial system used by a soldier is the binoculars which are the night vision goggles and Thermal Weapons Sight morphed into one. All the systems are combined to give the commander, soldier, squad leader whatever a good view of the battlefield or incoming targets. These electronics systems are what keep every soldier up to date with the latest information and details on the mission which is the key to the success of the battle.
