The Army’s Training and Doctrine Command, led by Gen. Gary Brito, oversees numerous initiatives to prepare soldiers for leadership and combat. Gen. Brito assumed command in 2022 after a distinguished career in Army training.
Significant improvements have been made to initial entry training and professional military education over the past year. The introduction of the quick-fire observation portal by the Center for Army Lessons Learned is one example of the new programs implemented.
Training programs now focus on foundational skills development, including life skills such as financial planning, time management, suicide prevention, and resilience training. Additionally, operational environment considerations are incorporated into training to plan for potential large-scale combat.
The Army is modernizing its force by incorporating artificial intelligence, machine learning, and human-machine integration into training programs. Various Army training publications have been updated to address emerging technologies such as small drones, counter-drone measures, and electromagnetic warfare.
Upcoming initiatives in Army training include integrating data literacy into professional military education, implementing new AI applications like CamoGPT, and delivering the Reconfigurable Virtual Collective Trainer to the force. These initiatives aim to enhance operational readiness and training effectiveness for soldiers at all levels.
