The Arizona Republic reports on a new contract for General Dynamics to supply the 5/2 SBCT with an updated version of the Land Warrior system that the 4/2 SBCT tested in combat during its recent deployment. Excerpt:

The Army initially deployed about 400 of the systems, which are now getting rave reviews from soldiers, who helped get initial bugs out of the system.

The new contract is for an additional 900 systems to equip the 5th Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division Stryker Brigade Combat Team.

Land Warrior was first deployed to Iraq with the 4th Battalion, 9th Infantry Regiment.
