The United States Infantry Squad: Year 2015

This book investigates the technology available, and the conditions that the Infantry squad will fight under as a part of the United States Army in the year 2015. It examines the nature of the likely threat to our National Security and how United States Army future doctrine will affect the Infantry squad's operational environment. After a short examination of the history of the evolution of the United States Infantry squad and the criteria used to shape its evolution, this book will analyze the criteria that will be relevant in 2015. Based on the factors presented and on the analysis of future relevant criteria and application of information age technology, the optimal squad composition will be recommended. This work is not a futuristic prognostication that foretells what powered suits and directed energy weapons will do for the Infantryman. It is an analysis of the integral building block in the organization that must change during the next Revolution in Military Affairs.
