Would we issue the Soldier a tablet, smart phone, laptop and how would we track the equipment? Would it be at every duty assignment, when they leave the military, how would the Soldier store all the notes or papers they are working on? Just a few issues I would consider. The advantages should be nonstop.   We can get the information to the Soldier easier and much faster than before when had had to order the actual books to have on our shelves.

The new younger computer generation of Soldiers with some having little to no combat experience, they do know how to use computers for everything they do and would make it much easier for them to learn doctrine instead of you having to...
