Major General Michelle Link shares a heartfelt message with the Soldiers and civilians of the 75th U.S. Army Reserve Innovation Command.

In honor of Veterans Day, Maj. Gen. Michelle Link commanding general, 75th U.S. Army Reserve Innovation Command, expresses her gratitude for all who served in America's armed forces.

Soldiers from the 75th U.S. Army Reserve Innovation Command played a critical role in testing advanced aviation and autonomous systems at Experimental Demonstration Gateway Event 24, a high-profile Army exercise aimed at modernizing air capabilities for future battlefields. Through direct collaboration with industry experts at Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona, the Soldiers provided frontline insights to refine these cutting-edge technologies, bridging the gap between concept and real-world application.

Warfighting is at the forefront of everything we do in the Army, and over the past five years, the culture of human performance has evolved to ensure that Soldiers are prepared to fight and win our nation’s wars.

Beginning in Calendar Year 2026 (CY26), all brave volunteers will be greeted by the iconic campaign hat, as the U.S. Army has canceled all future procurement of the women's bush hat and authorized the campaign hat to be worn by all current, and future, drill sergeants.

The buses don’t arrive quietly. They never do. They roll through the gates before sunrise, headlights cutting through the dust and cold, carrying Soldiers who are already somewhere else in their minds. Some moving toward war, some moving away from it, others standing in the middle, holding everything together.

Welcome to the Winter 2025–26 issue of Parameters, which consists of an In Focus special commentary, two forums (Indo-Pacific Deterrence and Considerations for Modern Warfare), and the new Strategic Competition Corner.
