“… The Army calls the program to recruit Silicon Valley executives Detachment 201: The Army’s Executive Innovation Corps. One of the executives, Andrew Bosworth of Meta (formerly Facebook) posted on X that the “201” monicker was a nod to an HTTP coding command, in which a “201” response indicates the creation of a new programming resource.

… Army officials say the new officers will get at least a taste of traditional Army training before filling their roles tech-focused policy advisors. Col. Dave Butler, the spokesperson for Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George, told Task & Purpose that the four executives will get up to two weeks of online and face-to-face training at Fort Benning, Georgia on physical fitness, marksmanship and “basic soldier tasks” such as Army customs and courtesies, rank structure and uniform wear. The four will not attend the Army’s full six-week Direct Commissioning Course at Fort Benning, a common but not universal training program for new officers.

… The four men will be directly commissioned as officers in the Army Reserve, a hybrid, part-time position that is commonly offered to a range of candidates in highly-trained professional fields, including doctors, lawyers, veterinarians and others with specific industry skills, such as logistics. However, most Army direct commission officers begin in more junior ranks as captains or majors, where they can immediately take active jobs in their fields rather than be expected to serve in leadership roles they have not been prepared for….”

“In history class, you look at all these immigrants who came with rags and accomplished so much,” Gor told the paper. “Becoming a citizen is a step toward the great American Dream.”

The White House said Gor, who used the surname Gorokhovsky in high school, attended elementary and middle school in Malta, but the dates are unclear.

Ian Borg, deputy prime minister of Malta, emailed The Post: “Sergio’s early childhood was spent in Malta for nearly a decade. In fact, he attended elementary and middle school here. He’s perfectly fluent in Maltese, and deeply connected to the island. We are proud to consider Sergio a product of Malta!”

“Who cares where Sergio grew up as a child?” said Charlie Kirk, a co-founder of the pro-Trump group Turning Point USA. “For over two decades he’s worked in conservative politics. His loyalty to President Donald Trump is unmatched. His success in politics is a testament to his skills and talent. He’s an example of the American dream.”…”
