History

Foxhole Stand-Up

Foxhole was originally proposed as a viable candidate for the 7th Cavalry on 11JUN25 by Development Command Lead 2LT Marcel Laui, who also supervised the initial research effort. Development Command made initial contact with CPL Wellington Groves, an external-to-DEVCOM subject matter expert, on 25AUG25 to support the Future Concepts Center (FCC), and CPL Andrew Mack began research on behalf of the Future Concepts Center on 24AUG25. Initial research was completed on 23SEP25. The Headquarters review process began on 19OCT25 and the proposal was formally approved on 23OCT25.

At the time of approval, Development Command Headquarters consisted of:

• 1IC: MAJ Mark Mann
• 2IC: CPT Noah Manser

Foxhole (4/D/DEVCOM) was originally stood up as a starter platoon on 23OCT25 under Development Command. The Area of Operation grew to over fifty troopers by May 2026, officially graduating from Development Command as a starter platoon and standing up under the Auxiliary Combat Detachment as a company on 22MAY26.
