The Pentagon is launching a new initiative called War Force to recruit hundreds of exceptional software engineers for two-year terms within the Department of Defense. This program builds upon the existing Tech Force initiative, which aims to hire at least a thousand engineers across various government agencies. War Force will specifically focus on artificial intelligence skills and is expected to heavily involve the Chief Digital & AI Office (CDAO) in implementing the Department's AI Acceleration Plan. Participants will not require traditional degrees or a fixed amount of work experience, with salaries ranging from $150,000 to $200,000 annually. AI
