Well, I'm doing a little SF writing by myself, and as I've done some research on this board (among others), I stomped into several boards discussing the future of combat units, TOE and battlefield tactics.
This is an example for an american unit in the mid of 21st cent, designed, trained and equipped for brigade sized combat operations. It could be an USMC reinforcement called from a BLT, or a regular Army formation as some kind of prime league "pocket division", similar and crosslinked to ACRs.
Please ad your comments.
Thanks a lot,
