PCS weight limits are one of the military’s most frustrating games. The rules seem clear. Each rank gets a set weight allowance, go over and you pay. Simple, right?

Following the Thursday firing of Gen. Timothy Haugh, who led the NSA and U.S. Cyber Command, lawmakers criticized the Trump administration, both for the decision to let him go and for not providing a reason.

The Marine Corps has established an attack drone team as part of an effort to make sure rifle squads have the technology and tactics to find and destroy enemies up to 20 kilometers away, said Col. Scott Cuomo, head of Weapons Training Battalion, Quantico.
Much like the Marine Corps Shooting Team played a key role in the Corps’ rollout of the M27 Infantry Assault Rifle, the attack drone team will be instrumental in efforts to adopt first-person view drones, or FPVs, Cuomo told Task & Purpose.
“The attack drone team now has a mission to become the experts at this,” Cuomo said.
Six members of Ukraine’s parliament met with U.S. lawmakers and stakeholders in Washington this week to spotlight the dire need for sustained military support and intelligence-sharing between the nations during the Trump administration’s ongoing negotiations with their government and Russia to end the war.
Their meetings come after President Donald Trump temporarily froze hundreds of millions in American security assistance and ended intel exchanges with Ukraine for more than a week in early March, which caused a major disruption to Kyiv’s defensive battlefield operations.
Perhaps evidence of the wisdom of Hough’s firing comes in the form of outrage and praise from one of the most communist members of the U.S. House of Representatives.
As transparency and disclosure permeates the new Trump administration, likely bad actors against the President’s agenda are coming to light.
