"The central component of the Pentagon's new war-fighting doctrine isn't a weapon at all, but an information network. The military wants to tie together every scrap of incoming intelligence to create a comprehensive picture of the battlefield that can be shared by different military branches or combat units in real time."
They use a Pocket-Sized Forward Entry Device (PFED) which consists mainly of an iPAQ 3900 and what a appears to be a sleeve of some sort. The 3900 series is really a solid device and the sleeve system, bulky by today's standards, is so versatile I can see HP wanting to keep it around for a few more years yet.
