So the Alaska National Guard has decided (or more to the point had it decided for them) that they are going to change there infantry units into a BfSB (Battlefield Surveillance Brigade). For those of you who are familiar with what a BfSB is, could somebody please, please tell what there actual purpose is? Are they removing the ISTAR capabilities from the HBCTs and SBCT's? And why does it make sense to have a very perishable and complicated skill set regulated to the NG? Especially the Alaska Guard that has had all kinds of difficulties in the not very distant past? Really, I mean it, I want somebody to convince me that this is a GOOD idea and has great merit so that I can stop bitching about it and angering my superiors.

P.S. I have shelved the 68x MH specialist job and have chosen to return to the infantry, where I am much happier.
