Acting @SecArmy Adam Telle and Acting Chief of Staff GEN Chris LaNeve were on the ground today at LSU vs Mississippi State to spotlight both schools joining @SecWar’s groundbreaking America’s Corps of Cadets initiative. This historic effort will broaden the pipeline of patriotic leaders and lethal warfighters ready to defend the nation and the American Dream. Cadets of @LSU and @msstate — you’ve answered the call. We salute you. 🫡

Fort Wainwright, Alaska: Home of America's Arctic Warriors.

Congratulations to Spc. William Schaeffer and Spc. Marshall Garren, who received meritorious promotions to Sergeant as members of the Army's Best Squad! Gen. Christopher LaNeve and SMA Michael Weimer promoted these warfighters at the AUSA Eisenhower Luncheon Tuesday.

To ensure our Soldiers have every competitive advantage on the battlefield, the Army must leverage America’s greatest strategic advantages.

RT @DeptofWar: The future of warfare is being built TODAY thanks to President Trump and Secretary Hegseth. At @AUSAorg, @SeanParnellASW reaffirmed the War Department’s commitment to accelerating innovation, delivering advanced capabilities, and ensuring our warfighters have the tools they need to WIN.

Strong partnerships. Real results. From strengthening critical infrastructure to responding when disaster strikes, the Army works alongside federal partners to deliver for the American people.

Army Civil Works takes a whole-of-government approach. This week at the @AUSAorg annual, ASACW Lee Forsgren took part in a panel discussion with @USACEHQ, @whomb, @fema, @EPA, @Interior & @USDA centered on how we all work to deliver for the nation.

How is the Army securing its installations and tactical power grids against evolving threats? Dr. Jeff Waksman (Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army for Installations, Energy and Environment) details the latest energy resilience strategies at this year's AUSA Warriors Corner. Watch here:

It was great to spend another three days at the AUSA annual conference in DC, and yet again I got to spend part of it talking about the wide range of exciting energy projects happening at the @USArmy.

Harnessing American genius: readiness demands speed.

The Army is throwing open our doors to American innovators and tearing down bureaucratic red tape. We are accelerating our relationship with American ingenuity, acquiring cutting-edge capabilities and integrating autonomous technologies to ensure our Soldiers have the equipment they need, when they need it, at scale.

This is Strike and Close Battle in action. At Fort Irwin, our armored brigades are honing the precise tactical skills needed to execute How the Army Fights, combining fires and maneuver.

Acting Chief of Staff GEN Chris LaNeve began the third and final day of the annual @AUSAorg conference at the Family Pavilion, meeting with those who support our Soldiers and their families. After attending @SecWar’s historic panel on autonomous systems and innovation, he and @SecArmy took questions from the media, and then heard from battalion commanders and command sergeants major on how to strengthen the Army profession. Three days of listening to the force, learning from the people who keep it ready, and leaving the Army stronger. #AUSA2026

Acting Chief of Staff Gen. Chris LaNeve: “With the @SecWar’s announcement establishing Autonomous Warfare Command, I have redesignated Futures and Concepts Command to serve as U.S. Army Futures and Autonomous Systems Command – FASCOM.” #AUSA2026

The Army must never enter a fair fight. We are equipping our Soldiers with every competitive advantage they need to remain the most lethal and capable fighting force the world has ever seen.

Acting Chief of Staff Gen. Chris LaNeve: “The Army is not turning its back on modernization. In fact, quite the opposite. We are sprinting towards it.” #AUSA2026

Acting Chief of Staff Gen. Chris LaNeve: “There is no algorithm today that can replicate the moral courage required of a Soldier in combat.”
