Army quietly pursues massive digital overhaul expected to save at least $89M: 'Dealing with stuff that was for 25 years ago'
Briefly

The US Army is aggressively modernizing its digital infrastructure, aiming to save taxpayers $89 million annually by consolidating outdated internal systems. This initiative, led by CIO Leonel Garciga, began in November and is pushing for rapid implementation, urging internal teams to reimagine workflows before the end of September. Notably, an AI language model now expedites the update of position descriptions for 300,000 civilian workers that previously required significant manpower. The overhaul includes both minor adjustments and major upgrades to existing resource planning and cloud systems, targeting increased efficiency and reduced costs.
"It's not the usual, hey, we're going to take two years to study this problem, and then sometime in '28 we'll reorganize... It's like, hey, we've taken the resources away, you have until the end of September to reimagine how you're going to deliver."
