# El Paso AI-Compute and Military Modernization Corridor **Entity class:** Regional infrastructure and operational cluster ## Definition The **El Paso AI-Compute and Military Modernization Corridor** is the emerging regional concentration of legally distinct civilian and federal compute projects, Army intelligence and experimentation, interagency intelligence, border operations, aviation, missile-defense command, maneuver forces, energy, water, and communications infrastructure around El Paso and Fort Bliss. ## Architecture - **Civilian hyperscale:** [[wiki/Meta El Paso Data Center|Meta El Paso Data Center]], financed through the Meta–BlackRock venture. - **Army-land commercial hyperscale:** [[wiki/Fort Bliss Hyperscale Data Center|Fort Bliss Hyperscale Data Center]], conditionally negotiated with Carlyle. - **Intelligence and ISR:** [[wiki/El Paso Intelligence Center|EPIC]], [[wiki/204th Military Intelligence Battalion|204th MI Battalion]], [[wiki/ATHENA Aerial ISR|ATHENA]], and [[wiki/HADES|HADES]]. - **Experimentation and command:** [[wiki/Joint Modernization Command|JMC]], [[wiki/Project Convergence|Project Convergence]], and [[wiki/32d Army Air and Missile Defense Command|32d AAMDC]]. - **Interagency operations:** [[wiki/Joint Interagency Task Force-Counter Cartel|JIATF-CC]], successor recipient of JTF-North resources. - **Regional substrate:** [[wiki/El Paso Electric|electricity]], [[wiki/El Paso Water|water]], fiber, land, transportation, labor, and physical security. This is a [[wiki/Regional Operational Convergence Node|regional operational convergence node]], not proof that Meta, EPIC, Army intelligence, and the Fort Bliss data-center project share one technical backend. That question remains unresolved pending contracts, tenancy disclosures, network diagrams, data-flow records, or other direct evidence. ## Relationships - **regional anchor:** [[wiki/Fort Bliss|Fort Bliss]] and [[wiki/City of El Paso|City of El Paso]]. - **national architecture relationship:** [[wiki/National Security Digital Nervous System|National Security Digital Nervous System]] and [[wiki/CJADC2|CJADC2]]. - **research dossier:** [[research/El Paso AI-Compute Military Modernization and All-Threats Intelligence Cluster|El Paso AI-Compute, Military Modernization, and All-Threats Intelligence Cluster]]. ## Sources / Provenance - [[research/El Paso AI-Compute Military Modernization and All-Threats Intelligence Cluster|El Paso AI-Compute, Military Modernization, and All-Threats Intelligence Cluster]]
