A Marine corporal systems operator patrols through thick brush at night with her squad on a large remote island somewhere in the Pacific when she catches an incoming enemy patrol rapidly barreling towards her unit.
Through a small eyepiece feeding imagery from a reconnaissance drone overhead, the corporal spots six light-skinned armored vehicles carrying a platoon size element and heavy weapons 20 kilometers ahead.
Outgunned and dismounted, the systems operator pulls out a handheld tablet and plots friendly positions and communicates with a Marine armored reconnaissance vehicle parked at an outpost nearby.
