Energy, to power the system is also a problem. It's not a problem in Iraq when you go out on patrols and come back in a couple of hours.
But if you think of a bigger conflict where the soldiers would have to fight for a longer time, maybe even without any supply, then you will quickly run in to problems with lacking energy to power the system.
They have fuel cells for that, but I do not know if those have been deployed yet.
