Скачать или смотреть Inside the U.S. Army Infantry Loadout: Why the Scout Dog Went First

This video examines the U.S. Army Scout Dog loadout deployed during the Vietnam War,
focusing on how biological detection was integrated into infantry systems at the squad level.

Rather than serving as an independent combat element, the Scout Dog functioned as a forward detection asset,
reducing human exposure at the point of contact and stabilizing unit movement under uncertainty.

The loadout is analyzed as a system: equipment placement, communication tools, sustainment items,
and the harness-leash interface that allowed detection to translate into control at the formation level.

This episode is part of the Historical Armory loadout documentary series,
which examines military equipment as functional systems shaped by doctrine, terrain, and operational risk.
