Army giving corps commanders more cyber terrain powers
The Army is giving corps commanders the ability to control their own terrain in cyberspace, much like in their physical battlespace.

The Army banned early government Large Language Models because they lacked features of the new Army Enterprise LLM Workspace, Army CIO Leonel Garciga told Breaking Defense in an exclusive interview.
The contract expands the Army’s “Enterprise Large Language Model Workspace” — just introduced in May — to users at OSD, the Joint Staff, and combatant commands worldwide.
“Let’s not have a bazillion flowers blooming in this space,” said Leonel Garciga. “That gets expensive very fast, and it gets really hard to protect our data.”
“Many of the right things were said publicly,” Warren Katz, chairman of the Alliance for Commercial Technology in Government, told Breaking Defense. “However, those sentiments do not seem to have translated into the RFI and directive documents.”
In his new role, Garciga will be responsible for the service's vast information technology portfolio, including its digital transformation strategy and cloud efforts like the Enterprise Application Migration and Modernization contract worth up to $1 billion.
To find targets for its new long-range weapons, the Army is experimenting with cloud computing and AI that can bridge the gap between intelligence networks and combat units.
The problem with Pentagon cloud and AI projects isn’t acquisition regulations, which you can get around. The problem is people not knowing what the hell they want.
