The number of major accidents in Navy and Marine aviation nearly doubled in 2025 from the previous year, though only two sailors were killed in a flying accident, according to fleet-wide safety statistics released this week. Accidents among sailors and Marines underway on warships dropped slightly.
Naval Safety Command released its year-end data on accidents, deaths and injuries across both services this week, covering the 2025 fiscal year, from October 2024 to September 2025. The report cited 14 “Class-A” aviation accidents in 2025, up from eight in 2024.

What the model elevates becomes the decision — what it filters out disappears. This is not captured in mission command or command and control doctrine.
In January 2025, when the Trump administration froze nearly all foreign aid, more than 1,000 emergency communal kitchens in Sudan shut down within weeks. Half a million displaced people lost access to clean water. Famine conditions that had been held at bay collapsed into crisis. Within months, Russian grain ships arrived in African ports and Chinese agricultural delegations expanded across the continent.
