There is a consensus among the US intelligence community that partnerships with the private sector are the key for the US to maintain the advantage against near-peer and peer rivals in the current security climate.

Long before the Cold War pitted democracy and communism against each other on a global scale, fascism and communism were locked in a deathmatch ideological struggle in Europe.

In the middle of this unrest, sisters Freddie and Truus Oversteegen were growing up in what is today Haarlem in the Netherlands.
The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress Bomber is a modern marvel of engineering. It’s so good, the United States Air Force has kept it around for more than 70 years. In that time, the airframes have undergone several revisions and upgrades and have outlasted other airplane types, the Strategic Air Command for which it was built, and even the Cold War itself.
