Viel Spass beim Clicken:
the US Marines are staging an "Urban Warrior"
training exercise in the San Francisco Bay Area.
a website for information about the exercise is at:
United States Marine Corps Warfighting Lab
http://208.198.29.7/mcwl-hot/uw/index.html
{see Information Packet: UW Technologies.. to see
multimedia wargear of the: Combat Decision Range.
see much new e-tech which could be used for good
or ill, and the The centerpiece of the experimental
C2 systems is the Integrated Marine Multi-Agent
Command and Control System (IMMACCS) which seems
to deal with much of the new 'automation' of war.
[check out what they did with a palmtop with the
Multi-lingual Interview System... and especially
the G.O.S.S.I.P. palmtop, adopted from the Los
Angeles Police Dept based on "Gangnet" software.
check out the "suite" and the "Marine 2010" for
an electronic warrior cyborg, esp. check out the
combat boots with a Heel Compression e-Generator.
which led me to investigate more, turning up a journal
for the War College, and some very interesting articles
about the military perspective of technology and war.

The United States Army's Senior Professional Journal

one article from 1997 discussing urban warfare has some
interesting statements about war in post-cities and how
it will be conducted, including the 'electronic tagging'
of citizens as hostile or friendly via machines and the
immediate execution of those who fail the friend-foe
electronic detecting equipment.
