On Nov. 6, the head of Myanmar’s military junta, Senior Gen. Min Aung Hlaing, finally traveled to China, meeting with Chinese Premier Li Qiang in Kunming as part of the Greater Mekong Subregion leader’s summit. The Xinhua readout prominently featured a photo of Min Aung Hlaing shaking hands with Li, who reportedly expressed support for the junta’s planned 2025 elections.

The Space Force’s acquisition arm has tapped defense technology firm Anduril to upgrade the service’s Space Surveillance Network (SSN) with enhanced autonomous networking capabilities, the company announced Thursday.

Army Reserve Maj. Kate Rubins was already an astronaut when she joined the Army, but was surprised to find that learning some of the basics of soldiering reminded her of trips to space.
“I was quite surprised when I was in my basic officer leadership course learning land navigation and thinking how helpful that would be when I’m an astronaut,” she said. “We don’t have satellite navigation around the moon. We don’t have magnetic fields or a compass, and so we are going to be using maps and terrain association and land navigation.

The Army has sought to improve the training of cyber mission force members it provides to U.S. Cyber Command such that they require less on-the-job instruction.
Since the creation of the cyber mission force — the teams each military service is responsible for providing a set number to Cybercom to employ for operations — over 10 years ago, personnel often wouldn’t get all the training they would need at their schoolhouse prior to arriving at their operational units. Rather, digital warriors would get additional on-the-job training upon arriving at their unit.
This is Chapter 4 in the Transition Memoir. Catch up here.
It didn’t take long after I completed my final out-processing appointment with the military to wonder if I had made the right choice to leave. My doubts intensified as I struggled through the eight weeks my husband was at training. But I thought his coming home would smooth out the challenges of motherhood and I would find my footing again.
