The troop exoskeleton, or just armor. The part of a soldier that gets upgraded and changed more than anything is his basic gear. Clothing, armor, rations, so on and so forth. An exoskeleton, or advanced suit of armor would simplify and consolidate everything the soldier needs. It would also be possible for it to amplify his strength, speed and very easily his targeting capabilities. We're not talking Mechwarrior here...think Starship Troopers, think Starcraft marines. Just a suit of armor designed to monitor bodily functions, administer first-aid, provide a simple targeting computer...not that far in the future at all.
Just my two bits.

Hey I agree with you. All this talk about mechs has me wasted. Sure, Gundam is a good fantasy, but come on... right? Heh.
About Starship Troopers. Are you referring to the film or the novel?
