US CENTCOM
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) in partnership with the Israel Defense Forces on Jan. 23 kicked off Juniper Oak 23.2, the biggest joint U.S.-Israel exercise in history. An ominous formation of B-52 bombers was seen by plane spotters this week while en route to the event where the aircraft joined a wide array of other assets to support readiness and interoperability between the two allies.
In the awesome clip shared on Twitter on Jan. 25, seven B-52 Stratofortress bombers can be seen flying east across the sky over New Jersey.

The US will send 31 M1 Abrams main battle tanks (MBTs) to Ukraine in the coming months, but the Pentagon is still weighing how the equipment will get there, the US Army’s top acquisition official said.
Hours after Germany announced it would send Leopard 2s to the battlefield, US President Joe Biden’s administration said it would send enough of its primary tank to make up one Ukrainian tank battalion as part of a USD400 million security assistance package.

The Pentagon has provided updated guidance for Defense officials who will be responsible for overseeing the design, development, acquisition, testing, fielding and employment of autonomous weapon systems — and created a new working group to facilitate senior-level reviews of the technology.
The move comes as the U.S. military is embracing artificial intelligence, unmanned platforms and other tech that could give weapon systems much more autonomy than those of previous eras.

The Defense Information Systems Agency is adding generative artificial intelligence to its forthcoming mid-year fiscal 2023 tech watch list.
Generative AI can best be exemplified by the ChatGPT function that is taking the internet by storm. Users can give the technology a prompt such as asking it to write a song in the style of an artist or, as Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., recently did for an Op-Ed warning about certain aspects of AI, ask it to “[w]rite an attention grabbing first paragraph of an Op-Ed on why artificial intelligence should be regulated.
Presidents Biden and Trump were both discovered to have carelessly handled classified intelligence reports.
