The U.S. Army announced today a competition to create useful smartphone and Web applications aimed at making the military more efficient, enhancing “warfighting effectiveness,” and perhaps save soldiers’ lives.

“We have a lot of capable soldiers and civilians in the Army that probably could build apps much like you do with the iPhone,” said Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Sorenson at a teleconference today.
