The AI-Ready Soldier: How Technology Is Transforming The Modern Army

By Edward Vaughn

The AI-Ready Soldier

The future of warfare is here-and every Soldier must be ready for it.
Artificial intelligence is reshaping training, readiness, leadership, logistics, and the battlefield itself. The AI-Ready Soldier gives today's Army professional the essential knowledge to understand these changes and thrive in a rapidly modernizing force.

In this accessible, unclassified, and highly practical guide, Edward Vaughn breaks down how AI is transforming the U.S. Army across every level-from the individual Soldier to large-scale global operations. Far from science fiction, these technologies are already influencing decision-making, maintenance, communications, medical support, and mission planning. This book equips Soldiers, NCOs, Officers, and future leaders to stay ahead of the change instead of being overwhelmed by it.
