Unless doing so clearly demonstrates an indisputable tatical advantage AND the "right" people support it, it is unlikely that the soldier or Marine will actually be allowed such a luxury. The robot "big dog" will simply be used as a vehicle to carry more stuff, not the same amount of stuff. I would love to have someone else carry my pack... but I would never want to separated from my pack either. In any case the "big dog" will likely be used as a reconnaisance/search and weapons platform rather than merely as a pack mule. That's my guess. Taking the load off the troops?
