SAN DIEGO, Calif. — The U.S. military will have to be ready to fight and shoot over longer distances in future conflicts against sophisticated nation-states, making long-range precision fires a top priority for the services.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces have received what appears to be their first example of the ubiquitous S-70/H-60 Black Hawk series helicopter. It looks to now be in service with the aviation branch of Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence directorate, which has led a number of daring missions in the course of the ongoing war with Russia, including cross-border helicopter raids. The Black Hawk design is more modern than many previous helicopter donations to Ukraine and could also pave the way for future deliveries.

The Army had a lot of training to do during World War II, and not all of its newly-enlisted soldiers were on the same level. Some 16 million Americans from all around the country would serve during the war, and the Army needed to find a way to get them onto the same baseline, no matter what level of literacy they were on.
