Analysis of Army Doctrine Documents with Respect to Artificial Muscle and Robotic Mules

Abstract

We analyze two unlimited distribution Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) documents with respect to the US Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Army Research Laboratory Directors Strategic Initiative entitled Fermented Vegetation Efficiently Running Artificial Muscle (FeVERAM) and its long-term goals. We start with brief introductions of the TRADOC documents, FeVERAM, and artificial muscles and robotic mules. The main section of this technical report utilizes a two-column table, with selected TRADOC document text on the left and our analysis on the right. We conclude with predictive descriptions of future infantry. An appendix briefly addresses energy concerns.
