Each clue on the grid represents a regular expression. The row of cells it points to must match this expression exactly, where it is read starting from where the clue is drawn. There is a unique way to fill in the whole grid.

One of the rings of hexagons in the grid contains a lot of X's. Indeed, it alternates between X and a different letter if you travel around it. The other letters spell ARMORED RECON when read in the correct order and direction.
No, I haven't solved it...

There's a lot of .* there. Not very helpful. Tempted to see how much I can solve, there's some clear starting points, but it's going to get complicated fast.
