The Pentagon is in the realm of reaching the Trump administration’s topline goal of downsizing the U.S. defense civilian workforce by 5-8% through voluntary reduction efforts and other methods, officials told DefenseScoop this week.
However, they declined to verify whether Department of Defense leadership will offer another round of employee resignation opportunities in the near term. 
“For the total numbers, about 55,000 applications have been approved for Deferred Resignation Programs” during the first two rounds, a defense official said Tuesday.

In his 2023 article “Japan’s Strategy to Confront North Korea’s Nuclear and Ballistic Missiles,” Tokuhiro Ikeda asserted that Japan needed to change course on their North Korean defense strategy to adequately defend the island.

Five soldiers were shot at Fort Stewart-Hunter Army Airfield, Georgia, by a gunman on base, officials at the installation said in a Facebook post. The shooter has been apprehended, officials said, with “no active threat to the community.”

The Army released a solicitation Tuesday for so-called launched effects systems amid a broader push by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to pressure the U.S. military services to quickly ramp up their arsenal of autonomous drones.
Last month, Hegseth issued a directive on “Unleashing U.S. Military Drone Dominance” to senior Pentagon leadership, combatant commanders and directors of defense agencies, referring to small unmanned aerial systems as “the biggest battlefield innovation in a generation.

The Defense Department accidentally reposted over one thousand photos from the Afghanistan War that had been taken offline in 2021 to hide the identity of Afghans working with U.S. troops.
The photos, a defense spokesperson said, have now been taken down again after they were inadvertently published during a recent data migration between computer systems.
Months after the Taliban overran Kabul in late 2021, the Pentagon announced that it had removed more than 120,000 photos and 17,000 videos of the Afghanistan War from the Defense Visual Information Distribution Service, or DVIDS.

Russia has sought to free itself from intermediate-ranged ballistic missile restrictions, causing consternation in the West.
