To me this indicates a lessening of communication and an increase in chaos on the battlefield! What say you Army folks?

It can. I've got some ideas on reducing the number of radios and maintaining correct levels of comms.
Establish a standard PACE. (With some flexibility)
Implement multi-mode RETRANS (global reach and less danger for the operators)
Train and empower 25Us to make field repairs instead of diagnose and replace.

Absolutely a lessening of communications because the ground forces cannot afford the money to have secure communications gear down to the levels needed AND a severe lessening of security because soldiers are going to do the same things that the Russians have been doing -- they are going to bring or get unauthorized communications gear and use it to meet their short-range communications needs.

It's about time. This has been a necessary change for the last 20 plus years. There were times as a squad leader where our Radio Shack ear radio and Mike worked better and had farther range than our Army issue squad radios.
