Part 7/9:
A major focus for the Army is establishing large-scale data centers across the country. The plan involves leveraging land and security from military bases to host hyperscale data centers, with an emphasis on creating a national data infrastructure to support AI and computing needs. Within 18 to 24 months, the Army anticipates hosting some of the largest data centers on U.S. soil, a move that underscores the importance of data in modern combat and strategic planning.
This initiative is part of a broader effort to embrace innovation and ensure the U.S. maintains technological superiority. Secretary Driscoll mentioned discussions with private firms, including private equity, to accelerate these projects, signaling a paradigm shift from prolonged analysis to rapid deployment.
