Call in the Robotic Cavalry
Lance Cpl. Clayton Filipowicz travels to Fort Devens Army Base in Mass., for a firsthand look at the Legged Squad Support System, or LS3. The robotic mule built by Boston Dynamics with funding from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is currently being tested by the Marine Corps. Marines with 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, put the system through its paces for the first time Nov. 5-7, 2013. The LS3 is designed to reduce the load Marines carry in combat, can reach speeds of 6 mph and carry up to 400 pounds.

Barriers With the Electric Litter Carrier
Corporal Clayton Filipowicz takes us to Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia to get a first-hand look at the Corps' newest piece of gear, the Electric Litter Carrier.
The Marine Corps Warfighting Lab, with engineers from Virginia Tech University, are developing the Electric Litter Carrier. Although the project is only 6 months old, the equipment is able to carry up to 300 pounds, takes only one person to operate and lessens the burden of carrying a wounded comrade to safety.
The gear is still in early development, but the Marine Corps Warfighting Lab hopes to develop the equipment to help quickly and effectively transport wounded Marines to safety. Also available in high definition

Lightening Your Load, Lightening Your Way
Cpl. Ally Beiswanger travels to Camp Pendleton, California to experience ExFOB'14, an event to showcase the Corps' newest ideas for commercial energy harvesting technologies and government systems. The goal of the gear is to decrease battlefield fuel and water requirements.
The Electricity-Generating Backpack, by Lightning Packs, LLC, provides wearable renewable electricity and replaces disposable batteries, which can ultimately add up to 20 pounds. The pack permits longer mission duration and reduces the demand for resupply operations. Available in high definition.

Recon Marines Test the PowerWalk
Marines with 1st Reconnaissance Battalion test out the PowerWalk, just one exhibit of energy saving gear at Camp Pendleton's ExFOB14. The PowerWalk harnesses energy as the user walks, charging batteries and other devices. The PowerWalk may look like a brace, but reviews showed it actually made walking less of a chore while not restricting movement.
Marines tested the gear and offered feedback to developers. The gear will be improved for further testing and possible integration into the Marine Corps' energy saving arsenal.
