Here are some of the awesome weapons and gear US forces will be taking into battle next year

The Marine Corps began fielding the brand-new Binocular Night Vision Goggle II (BNVG II), to Force Reconnaissance and Explosive Ordnance Disposal Marines over the summer with the goal of achieving full operational capacity by spring 2019, which means other Marine MOSs likely aren't far behind. And the BNVG III can't get here soon enough: According to Marine Corps Systems Command, the system's Clip-on Thermal Imager (COTI) "intensifies Marines' ability to see anything in dark conditions, rain, fog, dust, smoke and through bushes that the legacy binoculars couldn't." Predator, anyone?
