AN/PRC-154

The AN/PRC-154 Rifleman Radio is a handheld, intra-squad tactical radio used by the U.S. Army. It is intended to be employed by all members of a rifle squad not traditionally equipped with their own radio, thus enabling team and squad leaders to communicate with their subordinates from a distance. The 154 is capable of both voice and data traffic and is compatible with the Nett Warrior device for transmitting text messages, reports, and imagery.

The US Army has received over 21,000 PRC-154's as of 2014. The PRC-154 was first used in combat by the 75th Ranger Regiment in 2011.
