Among the biggest shocks that hit Jason Pelletier at Army basic training was when he realized he was older than most of his drill instructors.
Pelletier, 41, graduated earlier this year from Basic Combat Training and will soon finish advanced training to be a combat medic. Enlisting two decades past the age of many of his fellow recruits was a long-term goal for Pelletier, who said he was driven by a still-painful memory of a mistake-filled first enlistment in the Air Force at a more traditional age.

As the entire Pentagon moves to adopt zero trust by the end of fiscal 2027, the Department of the Air Force has outlined its plans to implement the cybersecurity framework by leveraging cloud-based and identity, credential, and access management (ICAM) solutions.

Stetson Hats are a strong, historic, U.S.-born brand that has been worn by cowboys, U.S. Army Calvary members, movie stars and pioneers in the American West. John B. Stetson founded the company in 1865 in Philidelphia and developed the highly influential and bestselling “Boss of the Plains hat.” Settlers wore the hat as a staple of pride and determination on their journeys out West. By 1906, Stetson Hats produced 2 million hats a year. Stetson utilized mass production and even once produced 3.3M hats in one year.

Two Ohio soldiers who stole a Confederate train and left a 200-mile trail of havoc through the South will posthumously receive the Medal of Honor on Wednesday.  Pvt. Philip G. Shadrach and Pvt. George D.

The men were part of a covert team sent to disrupt the Confederacy’s railroad system in April 1862. At the time, they were assigned to the 2nd Ohio Volunteer Infantry Regiment.

Such a war could quickly spiral into a regional conflagration: Iran has threatened an “obliterating war” if Israel attacks Lebanon, while United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has warned of catastrophe “beyond imagination” if full-scale war breaks out.

To be effective in future conflicts, the Army must pay attention to and be present in the information domain prior to when a crisis unfolds, known as the “competition phase,” according to a top commander.
With new forces and organizations beginning to take shape, the service is determining how it can apply military power across the spectrum of hostilities.
