Sgt. Phillip Cree, 3rd Battalion, The Rifles (British Army), provides last minute instructions to his Soldiers before they initiate an assault during AEWE 2016 on Fort Benning.
The British 3rd Battalion, The Rifles of the United Kingdom, and Soldiers of A Company, 1st Battalion, 29th Infantry Regiment (Experimentation Force), partnered with the Maneuver Battle Lab to execute the Army Expeditionary Warrior Experiment, experimenting with a myriad of different technologies and how they can be applied to future war fighting tactics.
The purpose of AEWE is to examine prototypes and concepts that make small units more effective for future modernization, to get Soldier feedback early in the modernization process and to provide an opportunity for industry and the Army’s science and technology community to help the Army solve military problems, said Harry Lubin, chief of the experimentation branch at the Maneuver Battle Lab.
