@jlmcardle01 Similar to what Project Athena hopes to accomplish by creating open access wargames coupled with AI to discover successful non-traditional military strategy and doctrine: https://t.co/pHIBcKgkXB

@jlmcardle01 I’ve never been a huge fan of the Ender’s Game analogy in the DoD due to the somewhat polarizing message. As a sci-fi fan, I much prefer the approach Stargate Universe took to finding the best and brightest scientific minds:

President Hitt, there is no doubt that you have made UCF America's Partnership University.

Thank you to everyone who attended the dedication of the new John C. Hitt Partnership Complex this morning✨

@jlmcardle01 Agreed! Most leaders point to MUTC as an example of dense urban terrain for live training, but it needs work to truly capture the fidelity of modern dense urban conflict.

This looks like great opportunity for DoD acquisition professionals to get in on the ground floor of helping to shape acquisition reform initiatives! https://t.co/NSJ9dsjXRi

They're not #magic or a loophole. #OTAs are an art form that must be implemented intelligently and carefully

Interesting piece from @ArmyMadSci & upcoming @TRADOC conference. If future battles are likely to be waged in megacities, we need to start modeling the complexities of future urban conflict & integrating that into the #STE for the warfighter. https://t.co/lSWd4WA7JM

For true Acquisition Reform, we'll need more than just faster contracting processes aka #OTAs . We also need major culture changes and better industry-government collaboration.

It was a privilege to swear in Honorable Bruce D. Jette as the Assistance Secretary of the Army for U.S. Army Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology. I'm confident he will continue to do an incredible job serving the @USArmy.
