As a fan of these gizmos, and as someone who uses one semi regularly, and have a few threads here recommending them, I think this is $$$ well spent:
FORT BRAGG, N.C. - The Army has purchased 3,205 TRX Suspension Trainer "Fitness Anywhere," kits to help deployed Soldiers get complete-body workouts wherever they can find a beam, doorway or tree limb to anchor the resistance-training device.
Soldiers already have mounted several of the systems to Humvees, tanks and cargo crates. The Force Trainer kits were bought by the Army Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation Command.
MWR employees at Fort Belvoir, Va., will send 205 of the combat-boot-sized systems to Iraq and Afghanistan as part of the recreation kits for deployed troops. Three thousand more were issued to Army units for a pilot program at Fort Bragg, where about 100 Soldiers volunteered for train-the-trainer clinics with instructors from Fitness Anywhere, Inc.

No, they are not the be all end all, have their limitations (as everything does...) but bang for the $$$ and the ability to use them pretty much anywhere (hence the name...) this seems $$$ well spent.
