Not in terms of food, but more of their gear. Australian grunts are now starting to wear solar panels as part of their uniform, hoping that this would in the long run reduce the amount of weight they carry as most of their gear require a considerable amount of energy to run. The Australian government has so far splashed out £1 million to develop a 14 ounce solar panel which is said to be effective even on cloudy days, courtesy of its ability to draw power from solar radiation instead of mere light. Definitely sounds like a big improvement for any foot soldier as the dead weight of batteries are lifted off their shoulders.
