Experment to mount external cameras on two Bradleys, with screens and
tablets in the cargo compartment, to provide better situational
awareness to the dismount element.
Note that the cameras are networked between vehicles, so the dismounts
in B can use the cameras in A and vice versa.
It sounds like they also had sat view maps, which would combine with
GPS to give the crews their map location and presumably locations of
nearby buildings.
