An Oct. 21 open letter from Project Agincourt leads Owen West and Senior Chief Max Strasiser lays out plans for AUTOWARCOM, a four-star command to be stood up by Oct. 1, 2027. The model pushes buying decisions toward operational units, lets each theater build its own mix of drones and robots, and keeps or drops systems based on competitions, exercises and combat results.

An Oct. 1 memo from Acting Army Secretary Adam Telle directs the creation of the Army Futures and Autonomous Systems Command and a dedicated office to buy priority autonomous systems, with fielding targeted for fiscal 2028. Leadership, location and a start date have not been announced.
