from its use requires higher skill levels and abilities from the Army’s military and civil- ian workforce. Tis vindicates the Army’s Soldier- and people-centered philosophy and makes it more important than ever to invest in upgrading the skills and knowledge of the Army’s workforce.

Some may question why the Army is engaged in the development of AI and ML tech- nology. Te answer is not that it can replace the Soldier. Te answer is that it helps the Soldier be all he, or she, can be. It can speed up operations and reduce some of the cogni- tive load on military and civilian personnel. Tis frees them up to concentrate on doing their jobs to the best of their abilities. Experimentation is underway to discover how AI and ML can be employed to automate and simplify many time-consuming routine tasks. Tis provides important battlefield advantages to the U.S. Army.
ENHANCES MOBILITY FOR GREATER SURVIVABILITY As we are seeing in Ukraine, the growing use of drones, satellites and other sensor systems has made the modern battlefield increasingly transparent. Tis allows adversaries to find—and launch strikes at—company command posts, logistics centers and artillery emplacements. To avoid detection and attack, these assets need to move frequently and operate in a dispersed fashion to make them harder to detect, and harder to attack. Te downside to this is that taking down, moving and re-setting up these positions is time and labor intensive and can reduce their ability to function while on the move.
In addition to the expected challenges of physically loading, shipping and unloading equipment, these unit moves require Soldiers to constantly tear down and then set up their communications and data networks. Tis involves a myriad of tasks, such as reestablishing secure radio and wire communications, checking and calibrating equipment

hile some observers have opined that the development and employ- ment of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) will make people less important to the Army, the opposite is true. Devel- oping and employing this technology to get the maximum potential
