#2 Tell me again how drones of all types overcome broad-spectrum jammers and a disabled GPS network?
How many Battalion or Brigade TOCs can operate in a map-board, grease-pencil and acetate overlay configuration these days after some localized/theater level EMP event? Low-tech, kinetic options with human operators must remain the redundant option for force structure.

#6 As I recall my bags weighed a little over 1 pound.

Same bag of platelets with reduced serum, would also weigh 1 pound, but would go further.

22 bags is a lot of blood.
