Find, Fix, Commit: How Commanders Will Win The Next Conflict With Software

I have mentioned the Harding Project quite a bit recently. It is the Army’s effort to encourage Soldiers to offer their expertise to others via professional writing. I join the Army in hoping that the Harding Project invigorates discourse and improves operational readiness by sharing knowledge and encouraging debate.

During the recent Modern Warfare Week at Fort Liberty, I met one of the authors of, “Find, Fix, Commit: How Commanders Will Win The Next Conflict With Software.”

CW3 Nicholas Vettore and I had a great conversation about AI, drones, and the industrial base. He and his fellow author CPT Nicholas Moellering coined a new phrase, “The Software Development Cycle Is The New OODA Loop” and what they mean is we have entered an era where how data is processed and how we control systems must constantly evolve. The better and faster we process information, the faster we will better our foes. Their example is quite poignant, drone use in Ukraine.

This article is an absolute must read. I hope it inspires you to consider the information they present and hopefully to share your knowledge with others.
