• JUST IN: New Army Energy Plan Focuses on Price, Not Sources (nationaldefensemagazine.org) — Redstone Arsenal is the Army’s first testbed for a new deal with the Tennessee Valley Authority that could bring more resilient, possibly cheaper on-post power and benefits for nearby communities. Army leaders say they’re prioritizing reliability and cost over specific energy sources, with gas likely first, and will use lessons at Redstone before expanding to other bases. 
• Tobyhanna Army Depot enters first-of-its-kind arrangement for rapid sUAS component production (einpresswire.com) — From Redstone Arsenal, Army leaders announced a first-of-its-kind partnership letting Tobyhanna Army Depot and defense firm Darkhive rapidly produce and sustain small drone components. While the work centers on Tobyhanna, the move reflects broader modernization efforts Army Materiel Command is driving from Redstone that could shape future missions and industry ties here.
