Gen. Dave Hodne told reporters in a media roundtable discussion Wednesday that what happens next will help the Army at all levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s because the soldiers of the \u201cDagger Brigade\u201d will be the first to use the device beyond testing and at scale from the squad to platoon to company and battalion level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With so many advanced sets on the heads of so many soldiers, leaders and researchers can more easily gauge how they\u2019re using all of what the capability provides and what that does to the proficiency of the squad and higher-level unit performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1800\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ENVGB-four-panel-photo.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-84194\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ENVGB-four-panel-photo.jpg.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ENVGB-four-panel-photo.jpg.jpg?resize=150,150 150w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ENVGB-four-panel-photo.jpg.jpg?resize=300,300 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ENVGB-four-panel-photo.jpg.jpg?resize=768,768 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ENVGB-four-panel-photo.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,1024 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ENVGB-four-panel-photo.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1536 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sgt. Gabrielle Hurd, 237th Military Police Company, New Hampshire Army National Guard, shows off the wearable positions of the Enhanced Night Vision Goggle-Binocular during a Soldier Touchpoint in Manchester, New Hampshire, July 10-12, 2019. (Army)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hodne spoke with reporters alongside Brig. Gen. Anthony Potts, head of Program Executive Office-Soldier, Sgt. Maj. of the Army Michael Grinston and the Command Sgt. Maj. Michael Crosby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All of those involved and others previously interviewed by Army Times about the device have emphasized soldier feedback in developing, and fielding, the new night vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Potts said Wednesday that having ways in which soldiers could say, \u201chere\u2019s how you make it better,\u201d has informed changes to the device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A small but important change he noted in a previous interview was the ability to flip the goggle lenses to the side rather than only above the helmet. That\u2019s an assist for any soldier or Marine who\u2019s rammed the device into the doorframe of a vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That option also allows the soldier to shift from binocular to monocular mode and keep one naked eye on the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grinston added some nuance to the \u201csoldier feedback\u201d description, noting that he\u2019d given plenty of feedback as a soldier in his 31 years of service, but that new processes have changed how that\u2019s received and acted upon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe soldier says, this is what I\u2019d like to see and then a week later you\u2019ve got the button and it works,\u201d Grinston said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That sped-up feedback loop differs widely from past experiments where years would go by between small equipment changes or when developers would field a piece of equipment that soldiers didn\u2019t like upon arrival and it sat unused or underused for the rest of its lifecycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The device has had multiple \u201csoldier touch points\u201d in the past two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An early touchpoint included Marines from The Basic School at Quantico, Virginia; 1st BCT, 82nd Airborne Division and Bravo Company, 2nd Battalion, 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In that event, troops wore the ENVG-B while moving through an obstacle course and tunnel complex and conducted reflexive fires using rapid target acquisition, or RTA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3966\" height=\"3013\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ENVG-RTA-.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-84198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ENVG-RTA-.jpg.jpg 3966w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ENVG-RTA-.jpg.jpg?resize=300,228 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ENVG-RTA-.jpg.jpg?resize=768,583 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ENVG-RTA-.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,778 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ENVG-RTA-.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1167 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ENVG-RTA-.jpg.jpg?resize=2048,1556 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3966px) 100vw, 3966px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Army&#8217;s new Enhanced Night Vision Goggle-Binocular has Rapid Target Acquisition software that helps shooters find and destroy a target faster and shoot from the hip or around corners. (Army)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hodne, who heads both the Infantry School and the Army\u2019s Soldier Lethality Cross Functional Team, said last year that a limited test of shooters found those using the RTA in the new goggle saw 100 percent improvement on M4 carbine qualification, 300 percent improvement on detecting targets and 30 to 50 percent decrease in time to employ their weapon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Staff Sgt. Tanner Trapp said the FWS-I, or Family of Weapons Sights-Individual, would make soldiers and squads more lethal, according to a PEO Soldier release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The FWS-I wirelessly transmits an image captured from a reticle mounted on the M4 to the goggle. This lets users see the carbine\u2019s aim point in the goggle view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That allows shooters to see and fire on targets from the hip or around corners or from behind barricades. The vision technology means the users can see through smoke and dust, which previously obscured the sight picture in night vision devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat thing is phenomenal,\u201d Trapp said. \u201cThe capability it provides is ridiculous.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Army officials previously told Army Times that 10,000 units were expected to field by 2021 and that the Marine Corps would receive 3,100 units in the same time period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Officials in the most recent interview said the current fielding would inform Army leadership on how many goggles would field to which units in the coming year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Big Red One has them, and more
