Stryker brigade soldiers will deploy to Iraq next year with a wearable computer designed to cut through the fog of war. See the 360-degree tour.

The 4th Battalion, 9th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Infantry Division — the Army’s 4th Stryker Brigade Combat Team — recently completed a successful test of the Land Warrior system at Fort Lewis, Wash., which clears the way for the unit to take the high-tech ensemble of digital communications and navigation equipment with them on their scheduled deployment to Iraq next summer, said Lt. Col. Bill Prior, battalion commander, in a recent press release.
