What Are These Clear Walls With Charts of Maps That are Found in Military Settings?

I know I've seen these glass or plexiglass map walls in various movies and TV shows depicting war rooms or military bases, but because I'm a big nerd, I could only remember seeing them specifically in Star Wars IV and Stargate SG-1. The ones in Star Wars are jazzed up with a green sci-fi flare, but they're obviously still being used for a similar purpose. Even if you weren't well versed in Star Wars lore, I would assume you could identify the thing.

I would have loved to do my own research, but I have no idea where to begin with "military glass wall thing with maps on them".

What are they called and what's their purpose?

I don’t feel the comradery I was expecting in the army

Don’t get me wrong there’s cool dudes I would call friends in the army we go out drink have fun and all. But I’m on leave rn and it just reminded me how much closer I am and how much more fun I have with my hometown friends. It’s rly making me miss civilian life and I just wish I was able to be as close to people in the army as I am with my hometown boys. Is anyone else experiencing this or have any advice?

Stupid question about ranks...

Hypothetically, if you were a Navy SEAL (E-5) for ten years, decided to quit, and then joined the army (if that is even possible), how many years would it take and would it be possible or easy to work yourself up to a sergeant first class in the army ranks? I understand that sometimes when you join a branch after being in a different one, your rank can be bumped down, so that's kind of what im going off of.

Sorry if i sound like an idiot i don't know much about military stuff i'm 14 and trying to fix my military character's writing💔
