Blue force tracking has been a thing for decades now, so there's nothing new about (relatively) real-time unit tracking and C2 messaging in the field, and there have been multiple stabs at integrating HoloLens into the loop, none successful. (The last effort, Army's IVAS, got shut down by Congress due to reliability and usability problems earlier this year, though DOD hasn't given up on a less-immersive approach.) Where they've seen reasonable success has been in mission planning and simulation, and to a certain degree in technical training; the problems with moving XR systems from controlled spaces into the field have proven essentially intractable to date.
