In response to findings from the Government Accountability Office, a senior Pentagon official said the department plans to evaluate and define outside variables that could hinder the defense industry’s ability to comply with new standards set by the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification 2.0 model.
According to a study published by the GAO on Thursday, the Defense Department has done significant work to build a comprehensive strategy for implementing CMMC 2.0 cybersecurity standards.

Veterans say that the Department of Veterans Affairs has “invented new reasons to deny” former service members access to GI Bill benefits that many veterans qualify for, according to a new lawsuit.
The lawsuit, filed by veterans, advocacy groups, and the State of Virginia, alleges that the VA has blocked eligible veterans from using two GI Bills to pay for undergraduate and graduate degrees.

In 2002, the U.S. military tapped Lt. Gen. Paul Van Riper to lead the opposing forces in the most expensive and expansive military exercise in history up until that point. He was put in command of an inferior Middle Eastern-inspired military force—essentially a fictional Iran—and his mission was to go against the full might of the American armed forces.
In the first two days, he sank an entire carrier battle group. In fact, he had achieved such great success so fast that it prompted the U.S. military brass to cry foul.

Australia’s DroneShield has expanded its industrial footprint with the establishment of counter unmanned aircraft systems (C-UAS) manufacturing line at an undisclosed location in the European Union (EU).

The UK confirmed a timeline for the entry of the NMH fleet between 2030 and 2033; a decision that comes nine days after the contract award.

The Army said Thursday that it identified two suspects in the case of four stolen drones from Fort Campbell, Kentucky, which went missing more than three months ago. The service’s law enforcement agency offered a $5,000 reward earlier this week for credible information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the theft.
The drones, which the Army Criminal Investigation Division identified as Skydio X10D systems, were last seen on the morning of Nov. 21, 2025 at an engineer battalion building on Fort Campbell.

The Army has developed a new hand grenade that kills by using blast overpressure instead of fragments when it explodes, which Army officials say is more effective for fighting in close-quarter urban environments.
Blast overpressure is the rapid high wave of pressure that results from an explosion that violently compresses and decompresses human tissue. It can cause serious injuries to the lungs, gastrointestinal tract, brain, and other organs. It can also be fatal.

A nuclear weapon detonates. The resulting EMP knocks out electronics for miles. Laser designators no longer work, and neither do the precision munitions they would direct. Commanders are forced to use runners since radios are out as the troops they’re leading ditch their red dots for iron sights and their GPSs for compasses.
After coordinating an attack with the rest of the battalion by word of mouth, the company commander realizes his digital tool watch is dead, and so is the XO’s quartz watch.

The US Army has granted full material release for the M111 Offensive Hand Grenade (OHG), marking the first time since 1968 that a new lethal hand grenade has reached this stage.

The flood of misinformation, fake content, and dubious news sources online is causing uncertainty for military families waiting at home, according to multiple advocates who’ve seen the stress rise in the last two weeks.
“We’re in a totally different environment with AI and the reality around social media,” said Shannon Razsadin, CEO of the Military Family Advisory Network. “We’re seeing a lot of anxiety among military families, and the misinformation certainly does not help with that. Right now, people are really looking for information that they can count on.”
