Americans for Action for Our Foot Soldier

We support our troops in their completing their missions and sustaining victory. Today, this comes with our Soldiers and Marines being on foot with the people, often in areas that heavy armor and trucks can’t go. Here, they are overloaded and the least protected. We believe in tapping the American spirit and ingenuity and doing something about this.

When you read up on defense technologies, you realize that America has amazing technologies that our foot soldiers need with them on the street, but can’t carry. They need an agile carrier, a new way of looking at things, to get gear and weapons into tight quarters, or rapidly delivered onto that ridge: 3,000 lb unit with 2,000 lb payload, and new capabilities --- but, read History of Change and you will learn of the difficulty of a shift in equipment and tactics, particularly when it is a system-based solution and it could change doctrine.

But consider: If America can produce ‘Extreme Makeover’ and ‘Pimp My Ride’, America can produce a breakthrough supporting our foot soldier.

The development of the Jake™ --- a force of tools, protection and tactics that moves the way they move --- sets the stage to making this possible, but the challenge is getting past the difficulty of change

The problem: “Yeah, an incredible concept…but we can’t fund it until you prove it, and you can’t prove it until we fund it”. Add to this that today’s programs are based on “vehicle” and armor perspectives, rather than assessment as a tactics-based solution. With Jake™ concepts, this is like assessing a computer without software or the network (just as IBM misjudged the home computer in the early 1980s)

So, Let’s take a look at the issue:

The Issue: There is a gap in ground capabilities, protection and power supporting our foot soldier

Click on this video and ask your Congressman to do the same. You will ask why this isn’t a national issue --- its about our soldier’s load and protection. It is about adapting to sustain winning (not crossing your fingers that things don’t change).

The Opportunity: Jake™ technology combinations address this gap today --- 3,000 lb carrier of 2,000 lb payload with new agility to open a new realm of soldier power --- integrated with robotics

Note: Due to advances with the Jake, and the stats of this website showing high percentage of people visiting this site from countries that are potential adversaries, this video and other images (that you would probably like to see) have been removed for now.

Let’s take hold of the task --- a job for all Americans who want to sustain victory bad enough to help take a big step in power with our foot soldiers --- and not back off. See History of Change.

Click on this video for clear reasoning on why this calls for Americans to take this initiative and get to where we would like to be for our foot soldiers.

 

 

Pray for our soldiers and join us in helping them get the tools to accomplish their missions so they can come home --- because they are our sons, daughters, dads and moms, brothers and sisters ---

On this site you will also learn how Jake™ originated within a program developing extreme mobility of wheelchair users --- and how your contributions also support our wounded soldiers and disabled veterans.
