[SG] EW

Has it occoured to anyone else that a recon/cavalry
platoon ought to have an EW Tech per squad? I mean, they operate dispersed
quite frequently. EW remote spotting would be a lifesaver, and jamming enemy
commo and sensors would be the best way to ensure that a compromised scout
team lives to get back to report.

Which is why my Ghurka's have an integral EW operator in the platoon. They
normally operate with ALL electronics switched off. But when the shit does
start hitting the fan, they need all the EW they can get.

I'm in the midst of a full revision of all my
infantry/cavalry/recon/engineer/MP/Special Forces
platoons (so far, 14 of the 20 or so different
platoons--should be done with everyone but the MPs by
the end of the day). One of the reforms I'm instituting is EW in every
infantry platoon. We don't
operate with all electronics switched off--our plan is
to give our enemy's children birth defects from ionized chromosomes.:)

Having the EW tech make sure the report gets through would be more important.

(Disagree? Then why send the guys out in the first place?)
