In "A Technology Surges" (March/April 2008), David Talbot detailed the importance of the Tactical Ground Reporting System to ground forces in day-to-day operations in Iraq. DARPA has enabled rapid sharing of information and intelligence among lower-echelon forces, leading to improved effectiveness and force protection. Despite limited training in counterinsurgency, our forces have learned to use available resources to achieve desired effects, whether that is capturing insurgents, protecting themselves against IEDs, or achieving reconciliation in a given neighborhood.
