I do think we're going to have to invest in, and this is where you need the outside tech mentality in kind of an Apple-like experience here. You know, yesterday when I was at Bragg, part of this capability exercise that General Praga put on talking to the different MOSs, you know, the special ops medic was like, my job is the best job. You know, the weapons officer, my job is the best job.

Well, the commo guy was like, my job is the worst job. When everything works, no one even knows I'm around, and the second things stop working, you know, it's all my fault. And what I saw in that was cognitive burden. Basically, like, we... How often does your internet go down at home? How often do you have to think about these things? The amount of investment, your iPhone just kind of works.

And we are doing a great disservice to these commo officers or NCOs by the burden we place on them to have to manage these things versus what our technology could actually be doing. So we have to redraw that front line so they can actually focus on the decisions that make the beer taste better, so to speak. The decisions that actually matter on the battle space.

I think there's no doubt that a meaningful portion is. The question is, how do you know what that portion is? And I think there's a fair amount of good debate that needs to happen about that. Let's take the tank. Some people think the tank's obsolete. I'm not so sure the tank's obsolete. Maybe it's obsolete on the first island chain.

There's a question of, what are the conditions around which you need these things? And how would you reinvent the hardware to make it relevant? I view that as a productive competitive stimulus. Everyone who owns this platform should be thinking about, why is my platform still relevant?

But what the kind of initial bureaucratic impulse is to say, is to not say why, but just to dig in and say, it is relevant. You just don't understand. I need to protect the program. I need to protect this rice bowl that I have. And maybe the tank of the future has to be different than the tank of the past. The way that we employ it may have to be different.
