AURORA, Colo. — After delivering the first key component of the Space Force’s ground infrastructure for its future missile warning and missile-tracking satellites last year, the service’s acquisition arm is poised to field additional capabilities and updates on an annual basis, according to the program’s executive officer.

FORT WALTON BEACH, Florida—U.S. Air Force Special Operations Command is looking to go big with a new autonomy effort, moving from solely focusing on using MQ-9 Reapers as host to its C-130 variants.
The command for the past two years has been working on its Adaptive Airborne Enterprise (A2E) effort, which would use Reapers to air-launch smaller uncrewed air vehicles (UAV) to allow one service member to operate multiple UAVs at once.
Defense Department leaders and congressional lawmakers are eyeing major acquisition reforms, bureaucratic fixes and new funding flexibilities for certain emerging military capabilities in the early days of the second Trump administration, officials said Tuesday on Capitol Hill.
“I think that the building is not quite prepared for what’s about to happen to it. That’s my observation in the first 30 days,” noted Colin Carroll, chief of staff to the deputy secretary of defense, referring to the Pentagon.
After waking an unconscious Marine inside the flaming wreckage of their MV-22 Osprey, Capt. Joshua C. Watson rallied his Marines and called for accountability.
His team had been in the rear of the twin-propeller Osprey as it approached a landing at a remote airfield near Darwin, Australia, when it plummeted to the ground after a near-mid-air collision. As Watson yelled to his Marines to get out, fuel spread and immediately ignited, making the crash site an inferno.
Pulling his Marines together, he found that one was in critical condition, another needed immediate care and three were missing.
A former Army staff sergeant and disabled veteran who was fired last month from the Department of Veterans Affairs will be in the audience Tuesday night as President Donald Trump gives his first address to Congress.

FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. — The Army is now beginning to field updated and modernized network equipment to the division as a whole, including the enabling units.
In the past, the service had outlined a fielding strategy that sought to equip certain priority brigades within divisions with the integrated tactical network, a combination of program-of-record systems and commercial off-the-shelf tools. This meant that other brigades and enabling units — such as sustainment, intelligence, logistics and engineering brigades — would still be operating on legacy equipment.
Being tactically ready doesn’t mean stockpiling bunkers of supplies or living in a constant state of alert. It means having the right skills, mindset, and plans in place so that when life throws you a curveball (since you already know it will), you know what to do.
Here’s how to build a tactical approach to military spouse life, because staying ready is always better than scrambling at the last minute.
Situational awareness
Preparedness starts with awareness.
A lot happens every day. Alliances shift, leaders change, and conflicts erupt. With In Brief, we’ll help you make sense of it all. Each week, experts will dig deep on a single issue happening in the world to help you better understand it. *** Last week, French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky made separate visits to Washington and met with U.S. President Donald Trump to discuss trans-Atlantic relations and the war in Ukraine — with uncertain results.

I had been blogging for about five years and felt that I had made little progress in growing a business. I was lost. I was a voice in a sea of voices. I didn’t know how to stand out or how to move forward. I didn’t know that when I started a podcast highlighting the stories of women veterans that it would change my life.
I didn’t initially focus on women veterans; if you read this whole series, you will know that it took me a long time just to find myself back to sharing military stories at all.
