Faster Wars, Smarter Minds: Driving the Army’s Quiet Cognitive Revolution

The U.S. Army is adapting its educational and training methods to address the accelerating speed of warfare, which is outpacing human cognition. This effort emphasizes that technology like AI should serve as additional intelligence to enhance, not replace, human judgment and creativity. The Army is streamlining professional military education, introducing new learning tools, and focusing on adaptive thinking to close the cognitive gap. This quiet revolution aims to equip leaders to integrate new systems and make sound decisions, viewing education as a long-term investment in human capability for future conflicts.
