In Western Louisiana, a black Hawk helicopter ride away from Fort Johnson military base, a huge complex of the forest that the US military has used soldiers to train for war.

Exhes, which calls the joint readiness training center “box”, is spread over 242,000 acres. It was there that the first brigade of the 101st Airborne Division recently completed a two -week rotation and the top military officer of the service, US Army Chief Staff General Randy George paid a visit to the service members.

George told CNBC, “We immerse our units in training here. We have a professional anti -force that also has the latest technology, and it is where we learn, adapt and convert.” “This is our fourth brigade that we have originally brought through here and we are completely changing the technique they are using, how they are organized, and then how they work.”

1 brigade is a new type of military unit: a “contact change,” or tick, brigade. The army raised the concept a year ago, and it represents one of the most modern date, which is equipped with artificial intelligence-capable platforms, Spacex Starlink Internet connectivity, retrofitted autonomous vehicles and about 400 drones.

“This is a unique which is a measure,” said Trevor VoLchell of the 1 Brigade Combat Team of the 101st Airborne Division. “The technique has improved, and we are trying to maintain speed with it.”

George, whose military career extended for four decades, stated that the army is on the tail of a “paradise change”, which has been launched by the Tick Brigade.

Last month, America’s oldest military branch unveiled the army change initiative in the hope of its largest restructuring in at least one generation.

Both Greenlight, and George and his civil counterpart, Army Secretary Daniel Driskl, by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, said, “The initiative enables the army to trim some jobs and change others.” It also asks to shift more defense dollars for products that can be made quickly and cheaply as the battlefields become more autonomous and as a “exquisite weapon system” like tanks and planes, which have proved to be unsafe for drone strikes for millions of people.

A part of the reminging is an attempt to expand beyond the process of moving over the years that have defined defense procurement and helped to end heritage programs – whether services like army want to continue investing in them.

“We know that our structures want to move faster, and we are trying to push the entire system more fast,” George said. “A large part of it stops buying things that we know is not going to be as effective on the battlefield so that we can infect our structures with things that will actually be.”

Army leadership has spoken about improving bureaucratic processes over years, but it has been running slow. This initiative potentially distinguishes this initiative is an extended sustainable resolution that combines with a hurry of the President’s executive orders-and the existence of the so-called department of government’s efficiency that can help to take a deep cultural change.

“Inside the army, just so much change is happening inside [Defense] The department that was not possible a few years ago, “Catherine Boyle said, a general partner of the investment firm Andresen Horovitz, who co-established and invested the firm’s American mobility exercise. Startups like Enduril,

Boyle said in a recent interview with CNBC, “To see that culture of change, and to see the culture of Dogi-ING, to make sure that you are spending money correctly, innovations are actually killing different agencies, I feel, it is very expected for those who want to work with the government.”

In the box, tick brigade soldiers were supplied with 40 new technologies from 10 different companies – many of them are not traditional defense contractors. Engineers and officials of the companies were embedded with soldiers to prevent issues and were ensured that changes in production lines could be refunded in real time.

Take the largest commercial drone manufacturer of China outside China, which sells the product to the army. Its drone was not flying the entire range advertised during the testing in the box.

Mark Valentine, president of the global government business of Skidio, said, “We were able to find out that it was not some crazy electromagnetic issue. It was actually an issue in the settings where the drone was set on low power.” “So instead of going through weeks of trying to understand how it happened, within 24 hours, we were able to identify the default settings, had low power, set it to high power, and this solved the problem.”

Then there is an example of autonomous vehicles.

The army has a fleet of 100,000 Hamway earned for decades and continuously. Service requires new abilities, and General Motors A revised Chevi is constructing new infantry squad vehicles or ISV based on collorado.

Driskol asked why commercial self-driving technology cannot be adapted to military vehicles, and startup applied in 10 days. The intuition had re-prepared a GM ISV to be autonomous and according to it, according to the box, according to it, according to it, in the box Applied Intection Cofounder and CEO Kasar Vonis.

“I think we can move forward as fast as we can,” George said. “Our soldiers can handle this step. They can go fast and so what we have to do is to break the bureaucracy … to make sure that we are moving at the speed that we need for them.”

“No one is still using VCR. We do not need to continue buying VCR because someone sells it,” he said. “We need the latest technology that is on the battlefield.”
