US Army focuses on 'direct action' operations (video)

During late July and early August 2014, the US Army 3BCT/101ABN (Air Assault), ‘The Rakkasans’, conducted a training rotation at the Joint Readiness Training Center at Ft Polk, Louisiana.

What made the rotation unique was an increased focus on ‘direct action’ operations and a lesser focus on counterinsurgency operations that have typified the last decade.

One of the network systems employed during the rotation was Nett Warrior.
