The acting Secretary of the Navy ordered the Marine Corps to help a military spouse get her and her family back to the United States, after she took to social media to express concern that she and her kids might be stuck in Germany as she and her husband divorce.
The military spouse, identified by Task & Purpose’s sister publication We Are the Mighty as Jamie Lenio, said that she was worried she would be stuck in Germany if her divorce and custody proceedings happen while still in Germany. She identified her husband as an active-duty Marine who wishes to remain in Germany as a contractor.

The Algerian Air Force has made a landmark deployment of fighter aircraft to neighbouring Niger following a failed military coup in the capital, Niamey, marking a significant expansion of Algiers’ direct military involvement in Central African security affairs.

Big empires need big emperors; and sadly they can’t all be Marcus Aurelius. There’s an old story about Caligula, the Roman emperor between 37 and 41 AD, and its one of the crazier stories about him. It’s sometimes described as a “war against Neptune,” the Roman god of the sea.
But how to you attack the sea god? If you asked Caligula, you attack the sea head on.

For those of us who spent decades inside the Special Forces operational community, studying the anatomy of conflict across rugged mountains, isolated valleys, and dense urban sprawl, one foundational rule of unconventional warfare stands absolute. Advanced hardware and precision fires cannot compensate for the absence of an organized, trained, and pre-positioned human resistance.
Putin Is Running Out of Soldiers for the Ukraine War – As Russia grapples with ongoing Ukrainian long-range strikes and diminishing returns on the front lines, its massive military recruitment machine appears to be grinding to a halt. This week, reports described how Russian President Vladimir Putin is struggling to replace soldiers being lost in the war, with Western officials now estimating that his army is losing roughly 6,000 more troops per month than it can recruit. And that’s despite Moscow continuing to bring around 1,000 new personnel into the military every day.
Oil Is Just About Escaping Hormuz – But LNG Isn’t – The United States and its Gulf allies are being forced to find creative new ways to get oil out of the Persian Gulf, but despite U.S. President Donald Trump’s insistence that the Strait of Hormuz is open, shipping remains far below pre-war levels. The series of emergency measures that are keeping crude moving out of the region are extraordinarily expensive, and Iran retains the ability to disrupt traffic again — meaning any victory we see today could end tomorrow.
But for liquefied natural gas, the problem is even more acute.
The Pentagon is set to withdraw nearly 200 U.S. troops from Nigeria, following their deployment to the central African country earlier this year.
The New York Times first reported on the troop drawdown, citing U.S. officials. It’s the second time in two months that the U.S. has pulled some combat forces deployed to the country as part of a surge of American military power.
Since late winter, more than 100 American troops have been deployed to the country on a training and advisory mission. The U.S.
