More information on the new facility:

Quote:

The Army Futures Command, headquartered in Austin, is drawing on research from universities around the country and the private sector to modernize the U.S. Army, but the new facility at RELLIS will be the central hub where the newest and most innovative ideas are tested and evaluated often by soldiers from nearby Fort Hood or members of the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets.

Any idea on how many jobs will be created or how many people will be located at this facility full time?

Have sat in on a couple of infrastructure master plan meetings (at least they are having these now, compared to when "RELLIS" was conceived). No one really had any numbers they could throw out at that time. I'm sure some info may come out now that its been officially announced.

The Eagle article says up to 25 research engineers will be hired by A&M. I would imagine that to be a relatively small portion of the total numbers of employees that will be needed to run something like this.

They've already got 20 plus jobs posted though. The last article I read said 25 plus engineers, 30 support staff, and 5-10 members of the army will be transitioned there.

Awesome. Excited to see more of these types of jobs coming to CS / Bryan.

That's what happens when outsiders write articles about places they have never even been. Imagine what they would say about the size of a town like Caldwell. Ghost town???
