Picked this up recently as a restoration project. It is a barn find with most of the original wood intact and only minor surface rust on the metal. We have already begun wire wheeling the metal and priming it. We will need to reconstruct the gun and ammo boxes. This is one of two that we will be ...

To my eye there is an increasing divergence between Mech Infantry and Light Infantry.

Based on what? Do you think that mechanized infantry try isn’t using SUAS?

I read that article and I don’t see the squad as having some how expanded its area of interest, rather it can observe that distance via a remote sensor instead of with direct EO sensors. We could always see 5 k in front of us, it’s just a) coverage and b) capacity to observe from cover that’s increased.

I don’t know that I see drones as a replacement for for ward observers, I think that’s ignoring 60-70 percent of what the observers are doing and focusing simply on the literal definition.

Is there some hope that forward observers be less detectable than a drone, plus better endurance and a bunch of other things I'm unaware of?

No, it’s more that simply seeing a target is 1/10th of forward observer tasks.
