Logic for FCS Enabled Soldier
Adversaries thrive on instability at all
levels local to global in complex
environmentswhere people live. Expeditionary
and Campaign Quality Organizations comprised of
Well Trained Soldiers and Leaders
enabled by a Robust Network and Advanced
Platforms that produce Precision Effects
across the Full Spectrum of
Conflict require Future
