Hawaii -- Secretary of the Army Eric Fanning visited the Pacific Manned-Unmanned Initiative training site Tuesday, July 26, as part of his trip to U.S. Pacific Command.

During the training initiative, which lasted more than two weeks, Soldiers of the 25th Infantry Division tested and operated new robotic prototypes designed to allow them to do everything from gaining a bird's eye view of the battlefield to moving assets by remote.

"There's two things to dealing with emerging threats," Secretary Fanning said. "(The first) is getting the right technology, acquiring it, building it, procuring it, but the second is actually getting it into the field, getting it into the hands of Soldiers."
