"The future network must be high-speed, it must be high-capacity, it must be multi-path, and ubiquitous to the user," said Brig. Gen. Jeth Rey, director of the Army's Network Cross-Functional Team.

WASHINGTON: The US Army’s tactical network team has a “significant amount of momentum” going into the new year as it plans to develop and field new network tools to soldiers, a senior Army network official said today.
By the end of fiscal 2022, the Army tactical network team plans to have tools from its Capability Set ’21 in action with eight brigade combat teams and six expeditionary signal battalions-enhanced, and to have provided capabilities to two Multi-Domain Task Force units, according to Maj. Gen. Rob Collins, director of Program Executive Office Command, Control, Communications-Tactical.
The Army’s network upgrade initiatives are part of the service’s larger multi-billion-dollar modernization push to build a force ready to confront near-peer threats, including sorting out a plethora of digital problems.
