NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. — The Navy’s high-stakes plans to integrate hundreds of crewed and uncrewed maritime vessels and link up that future hybrid force via Project Overmatch are essential to bringing to life its new vision to expand readiness and lethality by 2027 against a backdrop of evolving threats, the acting chief of U.S. Naval operations said Monday.
Adm. James Kilby shared a status update on that work and shed light on some of the sea service’s associated near-term, technology-enabling efforts during a media roundtable at the Navy League’s Sea-Air-Space forum.

Every military spouse has heard about offering a PCS bribe to their movers.
“Order pizza. Tip in cash. Be nice.”
This is the holy trinity of PCS moving day advice, passed down like sacred wisdom in every base Facebook group and whispered over wine at every farewell dinner. And while this method kind of works, let’s be honest—it’s also the bare minimum.

The Chinese operate too many facilities that could help shut down the Canal in minutes
The tragedy of handing over the Canal is the hole we have to climb out of – but an even worse tragedy and deeper hole is the failure of America to follow the terms of the enduring Panama Canal Neutrality Treaty in which the U.S. played a role in operations, security, and neutrality of the Zone.
