U.S. Central Command announced a new task force Tuesday that it hopes will speed up and simplify the process of equipping units with combat-ready technology.

The new organization, the Rapid Employment Joint Task Force, will be led by CENTCOM’s chief technology officer, Joy Shanaberger, and will focus on synthesizing logistics for capability, software and tech diplomacy.


“The new task force will synergize existing efforts among our Service components and support Secretary Hegseth’s drive to rapidly equip our warriors,” Adm. Brad Cooper, CENTCOM commander, said in a release.

The task force, which will bring together a wide variety of specialists with backgrounds including data integration, logistics, warfighter integration, resourcing and information systems, aims to deliver viable technology to service members and units in the field within 60 days.

The people with stars on their shoulders get more like politicians every day.  When politicians don't know what to do, they form a committee and throw money at the problem to see where it sticks and generals are starting to emulate them.  Can you imagine Gen. Patten convening a committee to tell him what to do? :thud:

Unanswered Questions:

How many thousand FVP drones does each unit get? How many of them are fiber-optic guided? How many of them are overwatch drones? How many of them are repeater drones? How many millions of FVP drone does DoW plan to purchase each year?
