| Data and rockets: US military eyes new tech to supply far-flung forces |
| 2022-02-07 |
| [C4ISRNET] If a war against a major adversary breaks out, it’s going to require the military to resupply troops at a pace it hasn’t seen in a long time, Air Force Gen. Jacqueline Van Ovost, head of U.S. Transportation Command, said on Wednesday. And to keep up with that frenetic tempo, TRANSCOM is going to have to use machine learning and artificial intelligence to streamline its logistics operations, Van Ovost said in an online conversation hosted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “We can’t afford to sift through reams and reams of data” in a major war, Van Ovost said. “We really do need to apply machine learning and artificial intelligence to turn that data into knowledge, for which we can make decisions. Creating that decision advantage is going to give us that time and space and options for senior leaders to come up with different options to reduce risk, to increase effectiveness.” |

| #2 Deep State. Not one mention why we need forces in far flung locations. The first responsibility of our military establishment is the security of the homeland. The invasion from the south shows it has no interest in performing the fundamental mission of why they exist. [Insert all the excuses here why they won't do their job here] |

| #1 We need cargo ships and a way to protect them. Too bad the US stopped making them years ago. |
