Brilliant framing of red teaming as battlespace rehersal rather than afterthought checklist. The shift from theoretical security audits to mission-critical assurance infrastructure is exactly what DoD needs as AI moves into high-stakes operational environments. Your connection between adversarial ML testing and actual warfighting decisoin loops makes this imediatly actionable. The way you positioned MIT Lincoln Lab's work within the broader DoD assurance ecosystem particularly helps clarify where different capabilities should plug in.
Thank you- this is exactly where I think the conversation needs to move.
Red teaming can’t stay trapped in the compliance mindset. Once AI systems are sitting in real operational decision loops, assurance becomes part of the mission itself - not a box we check when we have time.
What excites me is how much room there is for DoD to fuse adversarial ML testing with actual battlespace rehearsal. The assurance ecosystem already has strong pieces - Lincoln Lab, service labs, FFRDCs, industry - but the real value appears when those capabilities operate as one integrated loop rather than disconnected audits.
My goal is to keep pushing toward that mission-aligned framing, where red teaming becomes core to readiness, not a postscript.
