The Army needs to move away from an overfocus on technology to effectively predict the character of war and use it to deter and defeat adversaries, according to a new paper published by the Association of the U.S. Army.
Artificial intelligence, machine learning, hypersonic weapons and even North Korean trash balloons; there is no denying that technology
The Army talks a lot about speeding up the acquisitions process, but Army Contracting Command has a new, concrete goal: No more than six months to award a contract, executive director Danielle Moyer said Oct. 16 at the Association of the U.S. Army's Annual Meeting and Exposition.

The side that adapts and innovates first will win the next war, said Lt. Gen. Jonathan Braga, commander of Army Special Operations Command.
The key to achieving that is adopting a collective mindset, he said.
The Army is transforming medical care to meet soldiers and families where they are, said Lt. Gen. Telita Crosland, director of the Defense Health Agency.
“We all deserve good care, and we all have an expectation that we meet people where you're at,” Crosland said Oct. 15 during a warfighter and family forum focused on transforming medical care at the Association of the U.S. Army’s 2024 Annual Meeting and Exposition. “What I mean by that is better access and convenient care that fits in your actual lives.”
As the U.S. Army works to become a more datacentric organization, the one thing it should not do, according to a panel of experts, is rely too heavily on artificial intelligence large-language models to get there.
“Don’t do it,” said Stephen Riley, a customer engineer on Google’s Army engineering team, in a discussion July 2 at the Association of the U.S. Army’s Hot Topic on cyber and information advantage.
Foreign adversaries are targeting U.S. Army personnel on social media, job sites and gaming chats, the deputy Army chief of staff for intelligence, G-2, warned in a message to the force.
Issued in June, the All-Army Activities message, or ALARACT, warns that foreign adversaries are “increasingly” using social media and fake job offers to gain sensitive information from Army personnel and their families.
The Army will need to take a proactive, integrated approach to signature management to maintain the information advantage, senior cyber officials said during a panel discussion July 2 at a Hot Topic event hosted by the Association of the U.S. Army.
To achieve its modernization priorities, the Army will need to bring together the digital and physical aspects of conflict through spatial computing, according to the author of a new paper published by the Association of the U.S. Army.
As robots are integrated into the operational environment, soldiers will need to shift from a mindset of doing it all to trusting the new technology and understanding its potential, according to senior Army leaders.
Maj. Gen. Curtis Buzzard, commander of the Maneuver Center of Excellence and Fort Moore, Georgia, formerly known as Fort Benning, said he observed the human dynamic at play in a recent training scenario involving robotic platforms.
