Department of War's Project Agincourt Accelerates Autonomous Warfare Command to Drive Battlefield Adaptation at Scale

Oct. 21, 2026 |

In an open letter to the Joint Force and industry partners today, Project Agincourt leaders Hon. Owen West and Senior Chief Max Strasiser announced the operational roadmap to establish the Autonomous Warfare Command (AUTOWARCOM). Emphasizing that "urgency does not excuse imprecision," West and Strasiser outlined a combat-first model that pushes procurement decisions and dollars directly to frontline warfighters, measuring success not by paperwork milestones, but by how fast an operational problem receives a fielded, scalable solution on the battlefield.
