A US Army unit has officially received its first Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW) launchers and is scheduled to begin ‘new equipment training' on 18 October, according to Lieutenant General Neil Thurgood, the army's director for hypersonics, directed energy, space, and rapid acquisition.

Soldiers are to begin learning “how to set up the launchers, how to set up the tactical operations centre”, and other processes, as well as help create tactics, techniques, and procedures for the new weapon, Lt Gen Thurgood told reporters on 12 October at the Association of the United States Army's (AUSA's) annual conference in Washington, DC.

The first prototype of the army's potential ground equipment for LRHW launch is to be operated by 5th Battalion, 3rd Field Artillery Regiment, 17th Field Artillery Brigade at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington state.
