Brigadier General Kevin Killea, Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory Commanding General, is seen here leading the mule-like robot known as the Legged Squad Support System (LS3) through the woods at Fort Devens, Mass. The general, wearing a special pack fitted with thick black bands that the robot is programmed to identify and track, led LS3 through the woods over uneven and sometimes tricky terrain strewn with fallen logs, thick underbrush, and wet leaves sometimes hiding holes and other unseen hazards. The Warfighting Lab is working with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Boston Dynamics to explore concepts that can potentially lighten the load of Marine units. LS3, still in the early stages of development, is capable of carrying 400 pounds of gear and traversing terrain that wheeled and tracked vehicles cannot. The Limited Technical Assessment included putting the robot under the control of Marines from the 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment at Camp Pendleton, Calif including animal packers from the Mountain Warfare Training Center in California.

PFC Marcus Beedle leads the mule-like robot known as the Legged Squad Support System on a patrol through open terrain at Fort Devens Mass. Beedle, working with other Marines from 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment learned how to control LS3 and work it into basic formations and maneuvers during the limited technical assessment at Fort Devens. This was the first time Marines have been given control of LS3 since the Warfighting Lab began working with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and the system's developer Boston Dynamics.
