Two trends, seemingly separate, have been accelerating over the past few years. First, Wall Street has been plowing billions of dollars into financing data centers. Second, the U.S. military has been ramping up its use of artificial intelligence (AI). Now, these two trends are directly merging. In late March 2026, the U.S. Army announced its selection of companies to build and operate two…
