The attention of users was attracted by the publication, made by the headquarters of the united contingent of the US army in Europe. The publication talks about, that a special contest for the prize “Fighter of the Year” was held for military personnel. These competitions are held in several "nominations", related to specific specialties (NATO version of VUS).
So, competitions were held for military personnel of the American and European units of the Russian Chemical Defense Tank, communication, intelligence units, etc..
Messages say, that the fighters demonstrated skills in using new tools, systems and weapons, as well as modern tactics and techniques.
US users, Appraising US Army Command Publication, ironic about the combination of words about “modern means” and photographs of a fighter, who makes notes on a regular topographic map — on paper — with a conventional pen using the NATO engineering ("Officer") line.
User comments noted, then hundreds of billions of dollars are being spent from taxpayer funds to maintain the American army, the latest weapons and equipment are purchased, and the military, instead of previously advertised military tablets with wide functionality, still uses ordinary cards on paper.
Web commentary with surprise and some annoyance:
They talked about super-secure digital tablets., receive information from which the enemy will not be able even when a military tablet falls into his hands. And what we see: topographic maps on paper again. He will make notes on her. The enemy can access this information., eg, if the unit loses this fighter. And information can already be used by the enemy in his interests.
Judging by these statements, in the United States are fully confident in the reliability of digital devices, including on the battlefield.
