If the United States is drawn into another round of military action in Yemen, it ought to avoid the mistakes of the last decade. From about 2015 to last year, successive administrations backed Saudi‑ and Emirati‑led military campaigns, arms sales, and naval blockades that devastated civilians, deepened Yemen’s fragmentation, and perversely strengthened Houthi power and legitimacy instead of containing it.Instead, Washington should treat force as one tool within a broader political and economic strategy.

Families of the sailors onboard are reporting that they frequently go hungry, and the disruption of mail means they cannot send additional food or supplies.

The Army’s top civilian leader told lawmakers the service is leaning on its new counter-drone marketplace to bolster local security at upcoming high-profile events, ones that experts and officials have warned are at risk of unmanned aerial system threats.
Earlier this year, the Pentagon debuted an initial launch of its “Counter-UAS Marketplace,” which officials have touted as an “Amazon-like” platform with a catalogue of anti-drone parts and systems for government personnel to buy.
