SLTE 4-26: 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment Conduct C-sUAS MOUT Training
https://www.dvidshub.net/image/9828935/slte-4-26-2nd-battalion-2nd-marine-regiment-conduct-c-suas-mout-training
July 22, 2026 — An android tactical assault kit plugin with 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, is displayed during a counter small-unmanned aircraft systems urban training at Range 200 as part of Service Level Training Exercise 4-26 on Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, Twentynine Palms, California, July 22, 2026. With the debut of C-sUAS lanes at the Combat Center, Marines recognize and respond to unmanned aerial threats by employing emerging tactics, techniques, procedures, and maintaining a C-sUAS mindset in every operation, all while preserving the fundamentals that make rifle squads survivable and lethal. SLTE 4-26 is a premier training event that ensures the Marine Corps remains a highly lethal, adaptable force capable of dominating the future multidomain fight. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl.

Breaking the BSA: Cluster-Based Sustainment in the MBCT
https://www.army.mil/article-amp/293629/breaking_the_bsa_cluster_based_sustainment_in_the_mbct
July 15, 2026 — The traditional brigade support area (BSA) consolidates the light support battalion (LSB) staff, distribution, maintenance, and medical companies, along with key nodes such as landing zones, maintenance collection points, and ammunition transfer points. When aggregated, the BSA spans several kilometers, creating a significant physical and electromagnetic signature. This concentration reduces survivability, limits rapid displacement, and places the brigade’s bulk sustainment capabilities at risk from a single precision strike.

July 15, 2026 — The British Army is accelerating the transformation of its infantry by integrating unmanned systems and electronic warfare capabilities directly into frontline units, a shift recently showcased during Exercise Viking Strike. Held in Otterburn and Kielder Forest, the exercise centered on the 1st Battalion, Royal Anglian Regiment (1 R ANGLIAN), one of the first units selected to become a Near Surface Infantry Battalion, a new formation designed around the extensive use of autonomous and remotely operated systems on the battlefield.

Operational Success Starts with TAK
Complete Situational Awareness
Maps and situational awareness (SA) are critical to coordinated tasks in many contexts, including kinetic military action, law enforcement, civil protection, and disaster relief. TAK has the ability to display a wide variety of map data, either stored or downloaded in real-time. TAK is the USG's premier tool for shared SA data and has the largest selection of features designed to facilitate real-time coordination between team members through the use of mission specific plugins.
Pre-Mission Planning
In addition to the standard mission execution planning tools, mission specific capabilities give a user more insight into certain aspects of their assigned tasks. Navigation tools, including viewshed analysis, help users select and traverse a pre-planned route buy displaying the elevation profile of the route along with speed, distance, and bearing to the next waypoint.
Pre-mission planning is essential to enabling safe, effective, and rapid deployment of resources. TAK enables effective planning by providing a common understanding of exposure and vulnerabilities based on real time updates of any rapidly developing environment.
Streamlined Deployment
Points, routes, drawing objects, and files can be shared through TAK user defined groups, teams or simply broadcasted. While most data sharing clients require a server, TAK’s CoT & chat sharing features can operate in a server-less environment amongst nodes operating on the same network. TAK Server can be introduced to extend client connectivity across networks or federated for persistent command and control.
From highest commander to the ground forces and attached air & sea assets, deploying with the TAK Common Operational Picture ensures safe, dynamic, and effective mission execution.
