They’re part of a new “Executive Innovation Corps” called Detachment 201, a new initiative designed to fuse cutting-edge tech expertise with military innovation. The executives will each serve about 120 hours a year in influential roles that will shape how AI, XR, and data tools get integrated into national defense. There’ll be no boot camp for the big wigs. No professional military schools, no battlefield experience, no prior military service. Nah, they skipped the 16 to 22 years of climbing through the ranks starting at Second Lieutenant that most bozos have to go through to get to their positions.
