U.S. Army Pfc. David Pomeroy, a combat engineer assigned to Combat Engineer Company, 2nd Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment, 173rd Mobile Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), speaks about his role in the technology training at Cap Draa, Tan-Tan, Morocco, April 30, 2026. The exercise gave service members an opportunity to test artificial intelligence-powered and autonomous platforms, remote systems, and emerging technologies across attack, defense and mission command operations. The experimentation accelerated target detection, shortened decision timelines and delivered cost-effective warfighting solutions aligned with African partner priorities.
