Boston and Raleigh, North Carolina, are among five cities on the U.S. Army’s list of finalists to host its new Futures Command in what the service calls its most significant organizational development in decades.
A five-person Army team will visit Raleigh this week to review the city’s blend of access to academia and industry and help it “better understand the socio-economic dynamics” of the region, Army Under Secretary Ryan McCarthy said in a May 25 letter to Mayor Nancy McFarlane that was obtained by Bloomberg News.
