Frontline geek squads: SOCOM’s secret weapon | Breaking Defense

Just a year ago, SOCOM still used burned DVDs to solve intelligence-sharing problems, but they have shown interest in one of the most forward-leaning commands on AI and data as well. Today, SOCOM has taken a big leap by deploying data scientists to the front, which according to them could solve problems in minutes or hours. With this, they no longer have to send emails back and forth. Instead, they can now easily get in touch with each other in just a few clicks. More tech-savvy operators are deploying to the front lines and intelligence-sharing problems are being solved at record speeds.
