FCS Enables the BCT See first -- in combination with the network results in: Shared situational awareness among units and soldiers Ability to monitor vast territory Enhanced knowledge of the enemy soldiers mounted longer more survivable against low tech weapons Act First --- In combination with the network, superior maneuverability and precision fires results in: Ability to surround and destroy enemy concentrations Enhanced ability for discrete killing in the midst of civilians Keeps enemy dispersed; unable to connect with populations or mass Small logistical footprint, improved vehicle efficiency, and the network results in: Sustained presence in the field Larger area of operational control Distributed operations Army Strong 4
