The 392nd ESB-E Fielded with Modernized Kit: Enhancing comms

The 392nd Expeditionary Signal Battalion-Enhanced (ESB-E) has been equipped with agile, scalable communications kits that boost battlefield mobility, network connectivity, and rapid deployment. This modernized equipment enables lighter, faster operations and joint force interoperability—essential for success in future large-scale combat operations and humanitarian missions alike.

The image shows a soldier in camouflage combat uniform with an American flag patch visible on the sleeve, kneeling on grassy terrain.

There are two tan/beige tactical cases or containers on the ground - one larger storage case and what looks like a communications device or radio system with a control panel. This appears to be a field communications setup, likely part of a military training exercise or deployment where the soldier is establishing a tactical communications link.
