In 2020, David Pion-Berlin and Andrew Ivey wrote “Civil-Military Lessons from Latin America,” which argued that militaries can publicly dissent from orders that endanger military professionalism and human rights while protecting professional standards and preventing democratic backsliding. In the wake of additional cases of civil-military strain in Latin America over the last four years, we asked David and Andrew to revisit their article.
U.S. Special Operations Command updated its technical areas of interest in a broad agency announcement to include additional autonomous capabilities that could aid commandos with their missions.
The changes to the BAA came in an amendment posted Thursday on Sam.gov.
A new subsection, dubbed “collaborative autonomy,” is part of the document’s list of disruptive technologies that officials are eyeing.
Army special operations officials are developing a new robotics tech warrant officer career field that would be dedicated to incorporating robots and autonomous systems into military operations.
The new military occupational specialty is still pending approval, but U.S. Army Special Operations Command is “piloting the development of a Robotics and Autonomous Systems MOS for the Army,” Lt. Col. Allie Scott, director of public affairs for USASOC, told Task & Purpose.

Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, recently called Donald Trump a “fascist to the core” and “a wannabe dictator.” That such a senior military leader would feel comfortable saying this about his former boss is remarkable given that similar statements by officers have, in the past, resulted in severe punishment. The U.S. Constitution makes the president—the only democratically elected leader in the chain of command—commander in chief.

Europe’s only nuclear powers have a lot in common. France and the United Kingdom have both been contributors to NATO’s nuclear deterrence posture since the Ottawa Communique of 1974. Despite France not having joined the alliance’s Nuclear Planning Group, these two countries have grown to become key partners with important dialogues and technical consultations on nuclear issues. Indeed, bilateral Anglo-French nuclear cooperation has continued apace despite the political and diplomatic vicissitudes between them.

Top U.S. defense officials met with their closest South Korean counterparts on Wednesday at the Pentagon, where they pledged to deepen their militaries’ joint technology pursuits in new ways and discussed options for countering North Korea’s recent deployment of thousands of soldiers to support Russia.
The engagement marked the 56th U.S.-Republic of Korea Security Consultative Meeting.
An AI tool developed to help defend Defense Department networks has been effective during its pilot phase and it may be expanded in the future, according to a senior U.S. Cyber Command official.
The capability, known as Panoptic Junction, is part of an effort undertaken by Army Cyber Command, a service component command of Cybercom.
“ARCYBER is piloting an AI, machine learning platform that will enable scalable, continuous security monitoring of networks and platforms.
More than 5,600 people with previously disqualifying medical conditions have been allowed to enlist in the military without having to get a waiver under a pilot program, a defense official said.
The Medical Accession Records Pilot, or MARP, is meant to “address the changing health landscape,” said Lin H. St. Clair, the Pentagon’s deputy director of accessions policy.
“MARP is a procedural change to medical accession standards and not a change to the underlying medical accessions regulation,” St. Clair told Task & Purpose.
A Marine corporal from a family of Marines welcomed her brother into the Corps during a ceremony after the final test of boot camp, a moment caught on video by their father, a Marine veteran. The images capture the emotional moment Cpl.

About six months after launching a fully operational vulnerability disclosure program for the defense industrial base, the Defense Department’s Cyber Crime Center estimates that it has potentially saved contractors hundreds of millions of dollars.
Following successful pilot efforts, DC3 announced in April that it was partnering with the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency to set up an official program called DIB-VDP that allows independent white-hat hackers to find and analyze vulnerabilities in companies and their systems so they can be addressed with the help of the Pentagon.
The UK’s Autumn Budget is here and the Treasury have increased the defence budget but not enough to confront a more volatile world.

Moving to a new duty station is one of those times in life when everything feels chaotic. If you’re like me, your wellness routine is usually the first thing to take a hit. There’s so much to do. Unpacking boxes, figuring out where the grocery store is, and adjusting to a new time zone don’t even get me started on learning the weather. I’ve been there – multiple times. And the thing that always falls off my to-do list? Anything wellness-related.
But here’s the truth. When your wellness suffers, everything else follows. You feel sluggish. Your mood dips.

What does conventional arms control mean for how wars end? Even the longest wars terminate, and many conflicts end with some kind of agreement, even if it is unconditional surrender. Yet the term unconditional surrender is, itself, misleading, although what differentiates surrendering from negotiating a surrender’s conditions may be a matter of degrees. Countries that surrender entirely are still surrendering with the understanding that conventional warfare will end: Cities will no longer be bombed, troops will no longer be shot at, and sieges will be lifted.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan had reasons to be pleased after his recent Balkan tour. Visiting Albania on Oct. 10, 2024, Erdoğan promised to donate an unspecified number of kamikaze drones to Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama, and the two leaders jointly opened the largest mosque in the Balkans. The next day, Erdoğan visited Belgrade, where he and his Serbian counterpart Aleksandar Vučić discussed military cooperation, including a likely drone program. Ankara’s post–Cold War engagement with the Balkans, particularly Serbs and Albanians, has followed a twisting path.

This is Chapter 11 in the Infertility Memoir. Read previous chapters here.
With our embryos now in Pennsylvania, and a plan in place, it was time to start all of the appointments as we prepared for our second transfer. Back in March, my doctor started me on birth control so that once my embryos arrived my body would be ready to start the other medications. Originally I was only supposed to be taking them for a few months, but I had been taking them for six months. By the time September 2023 came, that created an added hurdle to proceed with a natural transfer cycle.
Mark Munsell has been tapped to serve as the chief AI officer at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, the spy organization announced Tuesday.
The move comes amid a broader push by the U.S. intelligence community and Defense Department to onboard more AI technologies.

Munsell was at National Defense University where National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan rolled out the memo, according to a post on LinkedIn.

The Department of Veterans Affairs is apologizing to a veteran who received a voicemail from a facility in El Paso Texas, in which VA employees can be heard speculating that the veteran was seeking to retain his 100% disability rating, when one of them says, “It’s all about the money.”
