Plus in the age of 4th generation warfare. Even support troops can readily find themselves on the front line.
Personally I don't buy into the 4th generation warfare concept.
The Russians, arguably, have created something original with their 'New Generation Warfare'. There are aspects of it that might be said to be innovative, rather than simply modern applications of ancient principles using modern mediums/technologies. 4th generation warfare as a concept is of very little value in my opinion. Support troops have always been a target, and liable to end up being engaged by the enemy where possible.
