THE ARMY BRIEF ARMY
Welcome to The Army Brief, a weekly look at the news and ideas shaping the service’s future.
Renaming recommendations. African American men and women, a military spouse and her husband, and the first Hispanic American four-star general are among the people whose names are recommended to replace Army bases named in honor of Confederate generals, Defense One reports.
AI and public opinion. Special operators are hoping that artificial intelligence can help them understand public perceptions, Defense One reports. U.S. troops in Mali have had a harder time operating there because of the presence of the Russian Wagner mercenary group and their information operations.
Taiwan military intervention clarity, or not. President Joe Biden keeps saying that the U.S. will come to the military defense of Taiwan, and his administration keeps clarifying that no policy change has occurred, Defense One reports. The U.S. provides Taiwan with security assistance to defend itself.
