Detachment 201: Silicon Valley Meets the Army — The Executive Innovation Corps

A deep-dive into the Army's new Executive Innovation Corps (Detachment 201), where top private-sector technologists join the Army Reserve as direct-commissioned officers to accelerate modernization. We unpack what the program is, who’s involved (Shams Sankar, Andrew Bosworth, Kevin Weil, Bob McGrew), how it’s structured, and how it fits into Army Transformation and AFC’s modernization push. We’ll also explore the goals, practical how-tos, and the debates around efficacy, ethics, and the future of tech talent serving in uniform.
