Automation is essential to ensuring the Army remains effective, agile, and ready to meet tomorrow’s challenges. Embracing automation is about sharpening our competitive edge and ensuring we can operate at the pace required in today’s complex operational environment.
The Army continues to modernize the way we do business by putting real-time data at the center of how we operate and make decisions. Access to timely, accurate information empowers leaders at every level to move faster, reduce risk, and respond with precision.

U.S. Army Chief Information Officer Leonel Garciga, shares his philosophy on implementing AI —emphasizing an aggressive approach that has not only accelerated adoption but also uncovered critical lessons learned.
Leonel Garciga, U.S. Army Chief Information Officer, joined fellow DOD CIOs for a panel discussion on implementing the Department of Defense 8140 Cyber Workforce Qualification Program, emphasizing the Army’s commitment to building an agile, capable, and mission-ready cyber force.
As the Army integrates artificial intelligence across the force, it’s important to adopt a mindset focused on outcomes that net effectiveness. AI is most powerful when it is purpose-built to improve decision advantage, enhance readiness, and strengthen mission command.
The Army is making a change that gives Soldiers and civilians more time to focus on their core missions. The required cybersecurity and privacy training for Army personnel will now be completed once every five years instead of more frequently.
