Visited Fort Carson to see Operation Jailbreak up close. The people in this photo represent a small part of a much larger team working every day to solve one of the Army’s toughest challenges. Their work is helping us connect systems that were never meant to work together. Now, legacy systems are talking to each other for the first time as we move toward a truly integrated force.

Today I visited to see firsthand the technologies reshaping modern warfare. The scale of their airspace allows the to test UAS and counter-UAS capabilities at scale, making this one of the most important proving grounds in the world.
The right to integrate is happening now. Soldiers, engineers, and industry partners are working together on the largest hackathon in history. They’re tearing down barriers between systems and proving that we can move faster when we stop accepting the status quo.

From the very beginning, this nation has been defended by ordinary Americans willing to answer an extraordinary call to serve. Memorial Day is a reminder that our freedoms were paid for by Soldiers who gave everything, and by the families who carry that sacrifice long after the battlefield falls silent. Today we pause to remember the fallen, honor the Gold Star Families who keep their memory alive, and recommit ourselves to never letting their legacy fade with time.
This We’ll Defend.

Today, I met with Poland’s Deputy Minister of National Defense, Paweł Zalewski, as Poland officially signed a Statement of Intent to join the Counter-UAS Marketplace. During our discussion, we emphasized how this critical marketplace strengthens the national security of both our nations. Together with all our participating partners, we are committed to building a more integrated and robust UAS and C-UAS ecosystem.
Testified before the Senate Appropriations Committee-Defense on the Army’s effort to expand strategic partnerships with private industry through the use of underutilized installation land. By aligning Army infrastructure with private sector capital, energy development, and computing capacity, we will accelerate modernization while building the technological foundation required for the future fight at no cost to the American tax payer.
Today, I spoke with the Senate Appropriations Committee-Defense on the counter-drone marketplace we are building to share information and equipment with our international parters. The faster we can connect industry, partners, and Soldiers to the right capabilities, the faster we can stay ahead of emerging threats.

This Armed Forces Day, I’d like to recognize our Soldiers as our ’s greatest asset. I think about them every day, and getting to meet them across five continents is what makes this job so meaningful. Each time, I see the same thing. Discipline, pride, and a commitment to getting better every day. Proud to serve alongside them.
I discussed with the House Armed Services Committee how acquisition reform is already delivering real results for our Soldiers. By transforming the way we procure equipment, we can get our Soldiers what they need to fight and win at a pace that keeps up with the battlefield.
In front of the House Armed Services Committee, I talked about how the is rethinking munitions by breaking systems into components and tapping into small and mid-sized businesses for solutions. This approach will let us scale, lower costs, and deliver munitions to Soldiers faster.
