   The DoD release for FY2026 APFIT awards explicitly lists the Real-Time Command and Control at the Tactical Edge as a Space Force project with a $49.70 million award, not an Army award. The Army is referenced elsewhere in the slate for other APFIT projects, but the RT-C2 at the Tactical Edge line is attributed to the Space Force. APFIT awards range from $10–$50 million per project, but the recipient in this case is Space Force, not Army. Therefore, the statement asserting the award went to the U.S. Army is not accurate.

   Defense Department's official FY2026 APFIT release lists 'Real-Time Command and Control at the Tactical Edge' as a Space Force award of $49.70 million. The Army is not the recipient for that project; the Space Force item appears alongside other awards to various services. Therefore, the claim that APFIT awarded $49.70 million to the U.S. Army for Real-Time Command and Control at the Tactical Edge is False.
