Gen. John Morrison<\/a>, a top information technology official. Users include active-duty soldiers and civilians and members of the Army Reserve and National Guard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s more efficient, more effective, and, quite frankly, if you want to reach me on the weekend, call me on my personal device,\u201d Morrison said Aug. 15 at the AFCEA TechNet Augusta conference in Georgia. \u201cI don\u2019t even worry about carrying two phones anymore, it\u2019s so reliable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The embrace of BYOD comes as the Army pursues <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/c2-comms\/2023\/02\/16\/what-jadc2-is-and-what-it-is-not-according-to-a-us-navy-admiral\/\" target=\"_blank\">ubiquitous connectivity<\/a> on and off the battlefield to ensure the right information gets to the right person at the right time. It also comes on the heels of a pandemic that forced millions into remote-working arrangements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army\u2019s venture relies on Halo, an application from small business Hypori. Through it, and after vetting, users can access the Army cloud and email, chat and other virtual workspace functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/c4isrnet\/battlefield-tech\/c2-comms-battlefield-tech\/2023\/08\/14\/us-army-testing-communications-gear-for-different-fighting-styles\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2259000.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">US Army testing communications gear for different fighting styles<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The Army is investing in the division as it prepares for potential conflict in the Indo-Pacific, against China, or in Europe, against Russia.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Personal possessions can pose information security risks; wearable tech like smart watches are often prohibited from sensitive government facilities. But with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hypori.com\/army-byod-faqs\" target=\"_blank\">Hypori\u2019s app<\/a>, information isn\u2019t stored on the device \u2014 it\u2019s remotely beamed in \u2014 and doesn\u2019t require root access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat we\u2019re really seeing is the power of leveraging cloud-enabled capabilities to deliver services,\u201d said Morrison, who at last year\u2019s conference said the BYOD process is \u201cvery, very, very secure.\u201d The Army considers widespread use of the cloud foundational to the broader modernization of its networks, computers and collaborative capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kenneth McNeill, the National Guard\u2019s chief information officer, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/smr\/5g\/2022\/06\/28\/national-guardsmen-may-soon-use-personal-electronics-in-deployments\/\" target=\"_blank\">previously told C4ISRNET<\/a> using one\u2019s own device provides increased flexibility and can improve critical response times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn a typical state, all of our guardsmen, unfortunately, they may not have government-furnished devices, mobile cell phones, iPads,\u201d he said at the time. \u201cI don\u2019t think we\u2019re going back to everyone in the office. I think this is the future of how we\u2019re going to operate here in the government and in the Department of Defense.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If &#8220;you want to reach me on the weekend,&#8221; Lt.
