The Army tested artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms for the first time at an annual experimentation to understand unknown signals on the battlefield.
The effort was part of the Cyber Quest event held in July at Fort Eisenhower, Georgia. Cyber Quest is an experimentation venue where the Army seeks to test emerging technologies on either existing or desired capabilities brought by contractors that respond to specific problem statements from the service in order to help inform future requirements and concepts.

Lt. Gen. Thomas Hensley on Thursday assumed command of 16th Air Force, the service’s information warfare command, in a ceremony at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas.
Hensley, who pinned on his third star prior to the ceremony, was previously the organization’s deputy commander.

An Air Force investigation into a deadly November CV-22 Osprey crash in Japan found that worn parts inside the plane’s transmission sheared apart in a split-second failure that doomed the plane and killed all eight crew members aboard .

Find your people: Military bases are melting pots, and chances are you’re not alone.

Going through a deployment isn’t fun whether it’s your first or 10th time dealing with such an event. Deployment is always rough. Always. It’s such an extended period of time, not to mention the uncertainties of knowing when your spouse will be home or what they may be facing while they’re away. (Combat deployments are all-the-more stressful, for obvious reasons.) But even an “easy” deployment causes stress.
