Even the second one is not at the battlefront. The frontlines are even more low-tech looking with laptops and computer screens inside crowded vehicles. Combat isn't glamorous. This image is from a joint US-Afghan military command center, so it's probably a division, or higher, asset. A battalion operations center would be a few small camoflaged tents near command vehicles. War is mobile, so frontline operations centers are built around command vehicles that are quickly stripped down to be moved where needed.
The TV images you see of wartime operations centers are populated by generals and are very far removed from the soldiers actually conducting the battles.
