As the U.S. military services work to stand up a zero-trust architecture by 2027, the Army is currently only in the “crawl phase” on the journey to implement the modern security model across its enterprise, a top Army cybersecurity official said Tuesday.
“I’d say we’re still at the crawl phase, which is what can we even implement to actually properly identify the [Army’s disparate sources of] data,” Colten O’Malley, deputy commander and CISO for the Army Command and Control Support Agency, said during a panel at the CrowdStrike Government Summit.
U.S. Cyber Command is requesting $89.4 million for a key offensive cyber platform for fiscal 2024, the first such budget numbers for the system that are publicly available.
The Joint Common Access Platform (JCAP) will allow the Department of Defense’s cyber operators to connect to their targets beyond friendly firewalls. It had been run by the Army since 2020 as the executive agent for Cybercom. Previously, it had been classified in budget documents, lending little information regarding its programmatic details and funding numbers.

History is replete with examples of how weather directly affects the outcomes of military operations and causes planners to attempt to negate and avoid those effects.
Here is the impact of weather on war:
Wind and waves
One of the earliest recorded stories of unusual weather in war comes from the two attempts by the Mongols, under Genghis Khan’s grandson Kublai, to invade Japan. In the autumn of 1274, a fleet between 500 to 1,000 Mongol ships appeared off the east coast of Japan, carrying over 30,000 troops.

The U.S. launched several airstrikes on the eastern Syrian city of Deir Ezzor on Tuesday. According to reports, the strikes focused on the regions of Hatla and Kasham.
Coalition Forces responded to a rocket attack in Dier ez-Zor, Syria at approximately 5:51 p.m., April 10, 2023.“These attacks are reckless and needlessly endanger the people of northeast Syria,” said Maj. Gen. Matthew McFarlane, CJTFOIR Commander. 👇https://t.
They were the most celebrated and most feared military unit of their day, with distinctive bearskin hats, they were elite and easily recognizable: Napoleon’s vaunted Old Guard. Napoleon called them “The Immortals of France,” and they kind of were. It wasn’t just about age, it was about experience. France was pretty much at war between 1792 and 1815. If you could survive that long in the French Army, chances are you were pretty good at your job.
In the small town of Ellinwood, Kansas, the local American Legion is up to something cool: they’re restoring an original Vietnam helicopter. The goal is to get the chopper back to its original look, members told their local news source, Channel 12.
Efforts are said to include a new paint job, restoring the helicopter to its original war-time look, and placing the bird near the local Legion, where it will sit as a “static display,” members said. It will not hold any flying capabilities but sit as a learning piece for all who visit. And for many, it will be a reminder of years past.
She’s a woman who went by many names: Marie, Diane and her birth name, Virginia. Yet despite her monikers, most have never heard of her valiant spy-related efforts. Virginia Hall Goillot is one of the most important war heroes who’s never gotten her due. Serving in the UK’s Special Operations Executive, American Office of Strategic Services in France, and the Special Activities Division of the CIA, it’s safe to say she earned her clout.
During World War II, Hall specialized in espionage, sabotage and reconnaissance throughout France and Europe.

The Turkish Navy’s new landing helicopter dock (LHD) TCG Anadolu (L 400) was formally commissioned into service during a ceremony held at Sedef Shipyard in Tuzla, Istanbul, on 10 April.
