State of the Army

The U.S. Army's mission, purpose, and future has rarely been in such flux. How many American soldiers will remain in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and Africa, and for how long, are open questions. Even less certain is what kind of Army will remain in Europe, the Pacific, and elsewhere around the globe. That will depend on Americans and their political leaders, but building the right force, with the right technology, personnel, weapons, and training to fulfill that mission is the job of the new chief: Gen. James McConville.

State of the Air Force

Air Force leaders have recently embraced discussions about race and equality within the military and the broader society, in part because the service is about to swear in a Black chief of staff and a female senior enlisted leader — both firsts for the U.S. military. Meanwhile, the service is returning to its roots as the most technologically advanced branch of the military with ambitious goals to network everything and quickly build a new generation of jet fighters that fly alongside small drones — all tools meant to keep the United States well ahead of China, Russia, and any other threat.

State of the Marines

Commandant Gen. David Berger has emerged as a forward-leaning leader who is remaking the Corps for modern missions and for modern society. His effort to scrap outdated weapons and formations is already an example to other service branches. His ban of the Confederate flag, months ahead of the summer's protests, is echoing across the Pentagon.

State of the Space Force

With space no longer just a warfighting domain sotto voce, the new Space Force is pulling in space-based components and capabilities from across the Army, Navy, and Air Force. To ward off orbital attacks from China and Russia, Space Force is crafting and executing new initiatives in Low Earth Orbit sensing, jamming, and next-generation communications.

State of the Navy

The U.S. Navy finds itself under unexpected new leadership for the second year in a row after losing an acting secretary and an aircraft carrier commander to the coronavirus outbreak aboard USS Theodore Roosevelt this summer. The new hands must chart a course toward the president's mission of more ships, secure technologies, and shows of force.

Data-Driven Innovation and the Competitive Advantage

A decision-grade information strategy is the keystone to building today’s warfighting capabilities that maintain the competitive advantage on tomorrow’s battlefields. As the U.S. Navy continues to invest in new data-driven technologies, systems commands and their industry partners’ core innovation will be accumulating and converting those mountains of data into rapid, continuous improvements. Join Alex Beachy, Marine pilot and ServiceNow Account Executive, to hear how gathering, understanding, and applying information throughout a program life-cycle will drive innovation and success at the tactical edge.
