how the Marine Corps were able to implement a system capable of monitoring field position?

are you talking about a periscope? It's not just for submarines anymore. You can use em to look over walls, around corners, etc. \nOr are you talkin about the gizmo guards use to look under the frames of cars, etc.? used to look for explosives, refugees, etc.

It is a good idea, though the GPS should be really inconspicuous. It was used by my team in a war game played in India (Asia). Hope u know where it is!!\nWe won the game so easily, but in real life the PoW are stripped and searched, so using it in military is out of qustion. Only a crazy general would allow it, but I liked your idea.\nGood to have such bright, intelligent questions asked.

The US ARMY in 1966. The military used it since then to communicate and share data. The military can still control it and can shut it off without warning. Go ahead and laugh. It is true no matter what Al Gore says.

A GPS unit can track ground swelling (especially around active volcanoes).  It relays information about the position of the ground as it changes.\n\nA reading that changes is a definite indicator of change in the ground and could indicate earthquakes or erupions.\n\nAs for plate tectonics, it relays general continental motion (albeit in inches/year)

Try sending an inquiry to the Marines.  They should be able to give you his adress.

I checked military library catalouges, and found no reference to published material that would teach the LINE system.  I concluded that due to the deadly applications of this combat system, documentation on this system has not been published and training videos, if any exist, are not circulating for use by the general public.  \n\nIf you are intent on learning this method, you will need to seek instruction from a person.  Wikipedia states that this combat system was replaced by the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program, which is 'more humane'.\n\nIt seems likely that to gain training in any military level combat systems, you may have to enroll in the military, or find a resource who was trained by the military.

If you are looking for monitoring, start by looking for an open-source product called Nagios.  It takes a bit of configuring, but it is as full function in the monitoring arena as you could hope to find for free.  Add to that the graphing capabilities of MRTG and/or Cricket.

G.P.S.  Before gps they used a compass.

Beyond its military application, AWACS can be used for other monitoring duties such as for spotting advancing cloud blocks or noticing abnormal atmospheric phenomena in seas and difficult to access terrain like the Rann of Kutch or the Glaciers in the Himalayas.Given a Service attitude, we can find a large variety of  civilian applications for any of the military hardware that we invent and vice versa.
