Preparing for conflict requires not just manpower and sophisticated weapons, but the logistical might to get everything where it needs to go while enemies are trying to jam up the system. “Now we may be at a point where we can bring all that together, with good data, good tools, AI,” Bill Moore said during AUSA’s…
