After launching Army Futures Command in 2018 to drive modernization when he was that service\u2019s chief of staff, Milley said he\u2019s mulling a similar effort for the joint force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou\u2019re going to have to do really fundamental changes to our military in order to take advantage of this change in the character of war. In order to do that, you need organizations to drive that,\u201d he told reporters. \u201cYou look at what the Army did with Army Futures Command, for example. Can that be done at the joint level, at the DoD level?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How Army Futures Command could be adapted across the services, which have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/it-networks\/5g\/2022\/04\/19\/5g-deemed-a-great-enabler-for-us-navy\/\" target=\"_blank\">innovation<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/news\/your-marine-corps\/2019\/03\/27\/marines-must-be-willing-to-look-foolish-for-innovation-to-occur-says-retired-commandant-gen-charles-krulak\/\" target=\"_blank\">efforts<\/a> of their own, is unclear, and Milley wasn\u2019t ready to say whether he\u2019d be proposing an umbrella \u201cJoint Futures Command.\u201d Army civilian leaders have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2022\/05\/04\/in-new-directive-us-army-reins-in-army-futures-command\/\" target=\"_blank\">moved<\/a> some of the service\u2019s command\u2019s powers back to its senior civilian acquisitions office, though it shepherded 24 modernization programs since its inception.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/land\/2022\/01\/10\/the-us-army-put-experimentation-and-prototyping-at-the-core-of-its-modernization-initiative-is-it-working\/\" 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\/1_cover_modernization.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\">The US Army sees a future of robots and AI.

An<a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/unmanned\/2022\/05\/31\/time-is-now-to-reconsider-autonomous-weapons-rules-horowitz-says\/\" target=\"_blank\"> Emerging Capabilities Policy Office<\/a> will help integrate autonomous systems, hypersonic tech, directed-energy weapons, and other innovations into the department strategy, planning guidance and budget processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The principal military advisor to the president and the secretary of defense, Milley said he is also thinking through the implications of emerging technologies, following the lead of Defense Secretary<a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/smr\/reagan-defense-forum\/2021\/12\/04\/the-defense-secretarys-plan-for-china-includes-better-tech-less-panic\/\" target=\"_blank\"> Lloyd Austin<\/a>. The military is examining options for operational design and structure of the force \u2015 its brigades, divisions and fleets \u2015 but also its institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe institutions we have today may or may not be optimally designed to leverage these technologies,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Drawing a parallel with the horse bit and stirrups that allowed for mounted warfare some 3,000 years ago, Milley said that the existing technology behind Fitbits and iPhones allow soldiers to sense their environment like never before while accurate, long-range precision munitions let them destroy targets like never before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Coupled with AI\u2019s potential to speed battlefield decision-making and the robotics and the autonomous technologies that are transforming the character of labor, militaries and warfare could be entirely transformed. Trucking, which is already adapting to driverless vehicles, and other industries that lend themselves to robotics will fundamentally change, Milley said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWith respect to the military, that\u2019s no less true. We have a wide variety of tasks that can be and probably will be conducted by some form of robot,\u201d he said. \u201cThe unmanned aerial vehicle is an example, but you could see in the future, pilotless air forces \u2015 manned\/unmanned teaming where you have one aircraft that\u2019s got a human in it and the rest of the squadron are robots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou could see tank formations where maybe one armored vehicle is manned and the rest are robotic,\u201d Milley said. \u201cYou could see a sailor-less Navy where one or two ships are command-type ships and the rest are all robotic ships.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a
