Vision For New Autonomous Warfare Command Laid Out By Pentagon

[TWZ] The Pentagon has announced plans for a new functional combatant command, very broadly akin to U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) or U.S. Space Command (SPACECOM), but for operational activities involving autonomous and robotic capabilities. Secretary Pete Hegseth has also announced new initiatives to help further accelerate the fielding of uncrewed systems in the air, at sea, and on land, as well as to explore future warfighting challenges. All of this builds on previous and long-overdue efforts to prioritize the fielding of various tiers of drones, as well as artificial intelligence (AI) and other emerging technologies, across domains, but there are questions about how these new efforts will translate into tangible developments.

Secretary Hegseth unveiled plans for what is tentatively dubbed Autonomous Warfare Command (AUTOWARCOM), as well as the aforementioned initiatives, called Project Agincourt and Project Meridian, during a speech to service members today at the U.S. Marine Corps’ base in Quantico, Virginia. Hegseth called this a State of the Force address, and said he planned to make it an annual event.

3 Why a new command structure when so much more could be gained, quicker, by 'effective' management of logistics and operational intelligence actions within the current order.

Other than service ribbons for the management and reorganization churn, what have we seen come out of the decade of PEO Soldier, really.

Well, other than jungle fatigues and hot weather socks for arctic troops, non-jelling fuels in the tropics and 'just add water and heat' instructions for arid front MREs. [Though I gotta say dry, crunchy noodles reminded me of toast, kinda.]
