YUMA PROVING GROUND, Ariz. — U.S. Northern Command’s next Falcon Peak exercise will focus for the first time on safely integrating and demonstrating counter-drone capabilities in a dense city setting that’s bustling with human activity, Brig. Gen. Jason “Ox” Rueschhoff told DefenseScoop on Thursday.

Joe Walsh joined the Eagles as a guitarist and keyboardist in 1975.
Since then, he has achieved a level of fame and wealth that he didn’t think possible while he was a youth in Wichita, Kansas. The perks of becoming a world-renowned musician are not lost on the 78-year-old Walsh, but they don’t insulate him from the realities of losing a loved one.
Walsh was only 20 months old when his father, Army Air Corps Lt. Robert Newton Fidler, died in a midair collision over Okinawa, Japan, on July 22, 1949.

Movies, shows, and books have long been at the forefront of imagining the future of war. If you were to picture the “future soldier,” you’d likely picture the genetically engineered super soldiers that have captivated — and horrified — audiences for decades.

Pyongyang has a long history of conducting irregular warfare and asymmetric operations: Look no further than the 1968 Blue House raid or the 1996 submarine incursion as the most pressing examples. More often than not, North Korea failed to achieve the intended objectives of its missions and lost its commandos. Despite failures, the regime pressed on, and now, over thirty years after the sub incursion, it has the combat experience of its special operations forces in Kursk to leverage.
