TACOMA, Wash. — The top general for the Army’s hypersonic weapons program says the Dark Eagle battery based at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in the Pacific Northwest will receive its first operational missiles soon.
“We are so close to that first battery being fully equipped with all of its capabilities that I don’t want to spoil the surprise when we actually get there, but we’re within a few weeks,” Lt. Gen. Frank Lozano said in a Bloomberg News report published Wednesday.
