Small Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (SUAS) in Divisional Brigades
The authors identified options for the Army to field and employ small uncrewed aircraft systems at the division, BCT and battalion levels to enhance fire support capabilities.

Thrilled to see this out! I was fortunate to work w/a tremendous @rand research team on a sUAS project sponsored by 18th Airborne Corps. My focus was on maximizing the army's sUAS training ecosystem from the unit-level to institutional army. 1/

This statement is way outside of CIA’s lane and erosive of the ethical norm that intelligence should be non-partisan. If that norm vanishes, intelligence loses a very large portion of its value.

What the “Department of War” posted today is not normal. Publicizing an internal referral memo on social media before any review has occurred undercuts the neutrality expected in military justice and risks unlawful command influence. That should alarm anyone who cares about due process. #holdfast

EXCLUSIVE: US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff advised Russia on how to pitch Ukraine plans to Trump, in audio files reviewed by Bloomberg
Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump
US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.

This is identical to Russia invading Ukraine. Illegally invading a country for their resources and likely killing thousands—if not more—is immoral and should not be supported by anyone with any shred of moral conscience.

Found my Grandfather’s Army-Issued field watch from WWII. He wore it across Europe to Germany, then in the Philippines.
Gonna see if I can get it running again.

The SECDEF confirming an investigation to the world and labeling an individual under investigation as being part of the “Seditious Six” is unlawful command influence.

Pour one out for the investigating officer (IO) who I am sure {sarcasm dot gif} will face no pressure to arrive at a pre-determined conclusion. If this goes to CM, I’d pay good $ to see the Article 32 hearing via PPV.

One thing that is not getting enough attention is that Trump has normalized the idea of the United States supporting the transfer of territory and millions of people from a democracy to a dictatorship.
The ending of freedom for millions is now the official US position.

Similar experiences in Afghanistan. Rumors BN XO abusing a boy (boy’s dad was a cook); young chai boys; my Afghan counterpart frequenting brothels in Herat. I still think of the young girl outside the ANA hospital w/a closed compound fracture of her arm. Her dad, who 100% abused her, asking for $.
These schmucks are approaching what I like to call a "reverse Afghanistan" sexuality here:

The FBI requesting fiber-optic drones is incredibly dumb and also very funny
Yall think your threat model is “jamming with electronic warfare weapons” and not “your barely-trained pilot wraps your way over-priced American made fiber optic drone cable around a Chick-Fil-A drive through sign??”
