1st Cavalry Division is helping the Army determine what the future of armored formations will look like.
1st Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division, or Iron Horse, has been designated as one of the next so-called “transforming-in-contact” brigades, a top initiative for Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George. The effort aims to speed up how the Army buys capabilities and designs its forces by injecting emerging capabilities into units and letting them experiment with them during exercises and deployments.

Marine Raiders are not expected to conduct Arctic operations in the near future because they are busy in other theaters, said Maj. Gen. Peter D. Huntley, who leads U.S. Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command, MARSOC.
Currently, MARSOC has a persistent presence in the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command and U.S. Central Command theaters as well as East Africa, Huntley said in a statement to Task & Purpose.
“MARSOC deploys forces persistently to the three regions, and also conducts episodic engagement and training in other combatant commands,” Huntley said.
The Defense Department’s chief information officer will kick off a new program this week that aims to overhaul cumbersome bureaucratic mechanisms and streamline its ability to rapidly approve new software capabilities for warfighters.
Under the Software Fast Track (SWIFT) program, the Pentagon will use artificial intelligence to replace legacy authority to operate (ATO) and Risk Management Framework (RMF) processes when buying new software. Acting DOD CIO Katie Arrington signed a memo authorizing the new effort, and it will officially launch May 1, she said.
The U.S. military services face no shortage of challenges in adopting artificial intelligence to drive better mission outcomes — and one of the biggest things holding them back is that their personnel really don’t understand what AI is and what it can do for them, a panel of senior officials said Tuesday.
“It’s not that people are afraid of the technology — they just don’t understand how the technology can work for them,” Colin Crosby, data leader for the U.S. Marine Corps, said at the UiPath on Tour Public Sector event, produced by FedScoop.
The Marine Corps will add new capabilities to its fleet of MQ-9 Reaper drones later this year, including a smart sensor system, according to an official leading the effort.
The service is pursuing technologies for its Marine Air-Ground Task Force unmanned expeditionary (MUX) family of systems, including medium-altitude, long-endurance (MALE) drones.
Among the in-the-works tools are airborne network extension capabilities, electronic warfare pod, maritime domain awareness pod, detect-and-avoid system, proliferated low-Earth orbit command and control, and smart sensors, according to Lt. Col.

Kori Schake Senior Fellow and Director of Foreign and Defense Policy Studies American Enterprise Institute The biggest surprise of Trump’s second term is the administration’s over-estimation of American power.
