A Soldier from the 2nd Battalion, 87th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division (Light Infantry), wears a Rifleman Radio during the Mountain Peak training exercise at Fort Drum, N.Y., April 19. Also pictured are a mine-resistant, ambush-protected All-Terrain Vehicle, or M-ATV, and a Humvee equipped with components of Capability Set 13. The networked M-ATVs would accompany the BCT to theater upon potential deployment, while the Humvees will rotate to other units receiving Capability Set 13 for additional training in the United States.
