SOLDIER-LEADERS AGE OF AI in the The Future of Pre-Commissioning Education, chapter "Weaponization of Technology and Leading Future Warfighting"

As the rapidity of technology improves America must prepare the forthcoming generation. Future leaders must understand the need for the United States to retain its leadership role in technologically enhanced warfighting. Technical weapon systems impact warfighting and warfare in the future. Threats by other nations will augment their own warfighting capabilities using big data, cyber warfare, and artificial intelligence (AI). The two nations who heavily integrate technical weapons are China and Russia.
Both nations plan to offensively use technical systems, when facing the U.S. on any spectrum of conflict. The next leaders who face threats from big data, cyber warfare and AI require more than a simple understanding of the internet. Future leaders who face technologically advanced foes must possess skills in command leadership and creative intelligence. The education and training of such leaders begins with a resilient workforce and adaptive training.Other authorsSee publication -

Why Lighting Others Torches Matters
The Cipher Brief
Over the past years the intelligence community had the opportunity to ask itself the hard questions on recruitment, retention, and promotion of both minorities and women. Demonstrable efforts to increase diversity is a necessary endeavor I have dedicated time and resources towards because in the intelligence community, if you can see it, you can be it. With that in mind, the need to increase women into this field is not a “good to have” but instead it is a “must have” to face the changing and…

The MI Professional in Tomorrow's Army
Military Intelligence Professional Bulletin
The goal of this article is to advance the dialogue on how to go about reducing the size of the force without reducing its effectiveness or readiness. My focus is on MI and the impacts to the MI Corps, as well as our conception and methods of training and professional development. I argue that there are two essential issues that must be addressed before considering the path forward. The first step is to identify the attributes of a successful MI professional, particularly with respect to skills…
The goal of this article is to advance the dialogue on how to go about reducing the size of the force without reducing its effectiveness or readiness. My focus is on MI and the impacts to the MI Corps, as well as our conception and methods of training and professional development. I argue that there are two essential issues that must be addressed before considering the path forward. The first step is to identify the attributes of a successful MI professional, particularly with respect to skills and characteristics. What do we want MI professionals to be able to do and, more importantly, how do we want them to think? Second, once we have identified these attributes, how can the MI Branch ensure that all Soldiers and officers have these skills and characteristics? I propose that it is possible to identify, support, and reward nimble and adaptive thinkers by empowering MI professionals through the Army’s assignment, training, and reward systems within this field. In the end, this article shows that it is possible to inculcate the important values and impart the necessary skills to ensure that the MI Branch becomes both better and leaner in the future.
