The Army's Command-and-Control Reboot
Wednesday, 4 November, 2026

How the Army makes decisions, communicates orders, coordinates forces, and keeps operations moving toward a common goal is undergoing a revolution. It's called Next Generation Command and Control. Two of its architects — Lt. Gen. Matthew W. McFarlane, commanding general of I Corps, and Maj. Gen. Patrick J. Ellis, commanding general of the 4th Infantry Division — joined us to discuss this important set of organizational and technological innovations. Our thanks to AeroVironment for sponsoring the event at which this episode was recorded.
