75th Innovation Command brings unique skills to EDGE 23

ARMY YUMA PROVING GROUND, Ariz. — When Innovation Takes Flight 75th IC Soldiers took their ideas to the skies over the Yuma desert during #EDGE23, a three-week event that brought Army Futures Command’s Future Vertical Lift Cross-Functional Team and industry and international partners together to work through network connectivity, frequency communication and flying maneuvers. The event culminated with a live capabilities demonstration for senior leaders and members of Congress.

Teammates:
Almost 70 years have passed since representatives from 16 countries signed an
armistice that officially ceased hostilities on the Korean peninsula. That three-year
conflict claimed more than 2.5 million lives, 54,246 served under the stars and stripes. It
is this and other battlefields-from the towns of Lexington and Concord to the deserts of
Iraq and Afghanistan-that envelop Memorial Day in a solemn shroud, woven by duty,
honor, and country.
This weekend, I ask all reading this to join the command in reflecting on the service of
past generations and the wars they fought, particularly those who were buried near
where they fell in battle or returned home in flag-draped caskets surrounded by grieving
friends and families. Though their fight is over, let us engrave their names and faces in
our hearts and minds. The ultimate sacrifice of these brave men and women paved the
way for us to chase our dreams, raise our children, and forge a future founded on
peace, freedom, and equality. For that, the best we can give in return is our gratitude.
I also recognize the men and women serving in the United States Army Reserve
Innovation Command. Their courage and passion to solve the Army's toughest
problems are second only to their humility and patriotism. They, alongside our close
network of families, community leaders, and innovation partners, live the Army values
everyday so we may remain the finest fighting force the world has ever known.
On behalf of the Command Team, I thank our Soldiers, civilians, and their families for
their unwavering support in our endeavors to dominate the battlespace for decades to
come. For those who lost a loved one or brother or sister-in-arms, our thoughts are with
you, not only on Memorial Day, but every day.
Sincerely,
EIN
Major General, USA
