Gen. Jeth Rey, the team\u2019s director, will be succeeded by Brig. Gen. Patrick Ellis, according to a personnel announcement shared by the Department of Defense. Rey has led the team at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/it-networks\/2023\/07\/28\/us-army-general-dies-in-plane-crash-near-aberdeen-proving-ground\/\" target=\"_blank\">Aberdeen Proving Ground<\/a>, Maryland, since 2021. He pinned a second star in his time there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ellis is expected to take over this summer. Rey will become the director of architecture, operations, networks and space at the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff, G-6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Network Cross-Functional Team is an outgrowth of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2023\/02\/08\/new-futures-command-chief-shifts-main-effort-to-designing-army-of-2040\/\" target=\"_blank\">Army Futures Command<\/a>, established in 2018 to tackle the service\u2019s modernization requirements. It is one of eight original teams convened and works closely with the Program Executive Office for Command, Control and Communications-Tactical, or PEO C3T.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other foundational cross-functional teams include Long-Range Precision Fires, Next-Generation Combat Vehicles, Future Vertical Lift and Synthetic Training Environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The change of directors comes as the Army pays increasing attention to connectivity and digital security. Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George at the Association of the U.S. Army convention in October described an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/it-networks\/2023\/10\/20\/upgrade-networks-or-suffer-on-the-battlefield-generals-warn\/\" target=\"_blank\">overhauled network as his priority<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSoldiers need to shoot, move and communicate,\u201d he said at the time. \u201cTechnology should facilitate those fundamentals, not encumber them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brig.
