U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Johnathan Ellis assigned to 832nd Ordinance Battalion, conducts checks on a 3D printer in preparation for Project Convergence at Yuma Proving Ground, Ariz. October 15, 2021. During Project Convergence 21, Soldiers are experimenting with Rapid Fabrication via Advanced Manufacturing on the Battlefield (R-FAB) to print replacement parts and tools while on the go.

Project Convergence is the Army's campaign of learning designed to aggressively advance and integrate our Army's contributions, based on a continuous structured series of demonstrations and experiments throughout the year. It ensures that the Army is part of the joint fight and can rapidly and continuously integrate or converge effects across all domains: air, land, sea, space, and cyberspace; to overmatch our adversaries in competition and conflict.

Project Convergence ensures the Army has the right people with the right systems, properly enabled in the right places to support the joint fight.
