The intent of the Jake, as seen by experienced Afghanistan and Iraq veterans, is as teamed units that move and cover lines of sight and carry gear supporting dismounted warfighters on patrols. It does not replace the foot soldier, but provides him with availability of heavier firepower, ability to better configure or reconfigure a situation, get wounded out, do remote operations desired (without having to wait for a special remote device).
The Tactical Decision Game part of this thread was not on the posting here at the top. It will be posted onto the original thread, available by a link. This can be a good "think through" and a way to consider supporting systems that can help our warfighters.
Until that is updated there, you can go to this site and consider the scenario and what you would do.
