gute and everybody else, this is an absolutely outstanding article. This guy sounds like me Think he is still alive??? He gets it.....all of it.... he even understand the difference between Systems Theory and Systems Engineering.
I used to have one of the flechets(kant spel stuff) he is talking about for the SIPW weapon.

From Slap:

gute....you done real good!!!!!!

I told Ken that the article's emphasis on System Theory and System Engineering was really pushing the abilities of my Oregon public school education. Thank God for the figures!

Seriously, I think it is a good article because the author was thinking outside the box. I don't know if it would be a good idea to change rifle platoons and companies, but adding STA assets to the platoons and compaines is doable. So is scout troop, FA battery, etc. IMO the last 10 years if not the last 60 years have thown us that more infantry is always needed. But now we have infantry "geeks" - a generation of dudes raised with Xbox, cell phones, computers, iPads, etc. This might be a form of combined arms.
