The top enlisted leader for the 20,000-person Air Force Special Operations Command was relieved of duty for “loss in confidence in his ability to fulfill his duties,” according to a statement released by AFSOC officials.

The Army tested a variety of evolving electronic warfare capabilities and concepts at its recent Project Convergence experiment in the California desert.

Each week, experts will dig deep on a single issue happening in the world to help you better understand it. *** There is a lot of current discussion about the need for the Department of Defense to move faster and more efficiently, including by using more commercially available software.

Let’s talk about one of the most overlooked financial benefits for military spouses: the Military Spouses Residency Relief Act (MSRRA).
If you’re tired of PCS moves wrecking your paperwork, messing with your taxes, and making voter registration a nightmare, MSRRA is your secret weapon. It allows you to keep your state of legal residence (SLR) instead of resetting everything every time the military sends you somewhere new.
And here’s the best part: Since 2018, you can now choose to claim your service member’s home state, even if you’ve never lived there.
For decades we frittered around the margins – real changes are now happening
Secretary Hegseth made a big announcement at DOD on cutting $5.1B of superfluous contracts. I worked this area closely when I was in the Office of the Secretary of Defense.
The more “help” we had from contracts like this, the slower we moved.
I know some who are being personally affected by these cuts. Some of them are right minded, superstars. I feel bad for these individuals.
