I've run a couple of H4D Lean Start Up based activities on the problem around the carriage of batteries/power by light infantry dismounted patrols. As a light infantry guy myself, it's a significant problem for an already weight burdened dismounted force. I think it's going to require a fundamental rethink on just-in-time logistics as well as learning how to think like an insurance actuary. I wonder if a study has ever been done on what is carried but never/rarely used on patrols and carried mostly for insurance purposes. Surely there's room for factual, data driven machine learning here to trump feelings based load burdening.
