Joint Base Lewis-McChord's 2-2 Stryker Brigade Combat Team, also known as the Lancer Brigade, recently posted footage of soldiers using the new Enhanced Night Vision Goggle-Binoculars on their social media, where over 1 million users watched soldiers firing mortars and machine guns in the eerie white glow.
The new goggles have white phosphorus, an enhanced version of night vision. Lt. Blake Gaughan from the 1-17th Infantry said the white tint, versus the traditional green tinted night vision, is better for distinguishing distance and depth perception at night.
The Lancer Brigade is the first unit on JBLM to use the new Enhanced Night Vision Goggle-Binoculars.
