Scott Cooper then commented on Mike Gilman's note with:

My sentiments exactly Mike, Yet the Army is embracing the capability and running with it. Apparently, they want to have this capability in the field at the edge as quickly as possible. Hopefully someone there is working in the background to develop talk groups and selectable permissions that allow the engaged leader to select who gets to talk, that way although others can listen in, only the engaged team members can exchange information during a fire fight. Otherwise we'll have REMFs trying to run the engagement, and we've all seen how well that works (Desert One, 24 Apr '80) For staff work, the structured free exchange of information could prove useful, otherwise IMHO, it is a bridge too far.
