The Pentagon lost another top IT official on April 18, with the resignation of Preston Dunlap, founding chief architecture officer of the Air and Space Forces.

In an open resignation letter posted to social media, Dunlap wrote that he was proud of the three years he spent at the Defense Department, but that bureaucracy, a risk-averse culture, and other internal issues made innovation more difficult than it should have been.
