Army financial transformation to bolster readiness, speed, decision advantage
U.S. Army Green Berets assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 10th Special Forces Group (Airborne), prepare for MRZR night movement during Exercise Diesel 26 at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, Feb. 21, 2026. The 10th Special Forces Group (Airborne) Green Berets participated in Exercise Diesel 26 to assess how Special Operations Forces integrate into the Army’s Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) architecture while operating in austere, communications-contested environments. As the Army modernizes its command and control systems, 10th SFG(A) evaluated how SOF elements, often operating beyond the forward line of troops with minimal signature, can effectively transmit information from the deep battlespace into conventional force networks. The exercise focused on bridging the gap between SOF-specific communications and NGC2 systems, ensuring that data collected by dismounted teams can be rapidly shared with higher headquarters and integrated into joint targeting and decision-making processes.



During Diesel 26, Green Berets tested a combination of legacy systems and emerging technologies to determine what is most effective in denied or degraded communications environments. Operating against simulated electronic interference, Soldiers refined their communications plans, techniques, and procedures to maintain survivability while sustaining connectivity. The exercise enabled 10th SFG(A) to identify which systems and methods best support low-signature operations and to develop more effective ways to link SOF elements with conventional forces. Insights gained from Diesel 26 will inform future doctrine, improve interoperability with units like the 4th Infantry Division, and enhance the ability of Special Forces to operate effectively in complex, contested environments.
