Subject: US Army's First Digital Battle

Check out this article in the LA Times for a report of the first digital
battle in the US Army. The 4th ID (Mech) fought against the Red Force, the
tough to beat OPFOR at Ft Irwin. The 4th ID is the first US Army unit to be
fielded with a digital network. Each tank, MICV, and humvee has a PC networked
with the others in the division. This is the "battlefield internet" and it's
straight outta Stargrunt!
