This might be a stretch, but I'm thinking the exoskeleton is going to be the core of the modern soldier. Some if not all their equipment will be hooked up to it, for power and information transfer/processing.

From the National Defense Magazine article (last post):

"A pressing technology challenge for SOCOM today is logistics, specifically keeping track of equipment deployed to combat zones. Most formations have 50 percent of their equipment supplied by the conventional military services and the other 50 percent is SOCOM-customized. “How do I keep track of all that?” he asked. “I want to use big data, commercial technology, and not have to invest in a SOF logistics system.”"


I think TALOS is the answer to that question. An exoskeleton already needs advanced processing and information transfer, most of what is necessary already exists for the purposes of walking. It is quite literally 'piggy backing'.
