Could the Chinese Communist Party “page” U.S. servicemembers, the way the Mossad did to Hizballah on Sept. 17, 2024, in one of the most daring deception operations in living memory? It is possible. The Department of Defense does not fully understand the breadth and depth of its supply chain. Former Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment William LaPlante revealed how difficult this problem had become for the U.S. military services and the defense industry that supports it.

On 11 March 2022, national news media reported that 5 West Point Cadets on spring break in Florida sought out a drug dealer to purchase cocaine. The cocaine was laced with fentanyl, sending them to the hospital. Fortunately, none of the cadets died from the fentanyl overdose. At least one of the cadets was a West Point football player. However, the incident opened the eyes of many to the fact that all was not right at West Point.

Staff Sergeant Travis William Atkins was a member of the United States Army who received a posthumous Medal of Honor for his heroism in Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Across the U.S., sites offering the initial enlistment test for potential recruits are being forced to close and reduce their hours due to cuts recommended by the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE.
In order to enlist in any of the military services, recruits take the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery test which assesses science, math, and language knowledge and helps identify potential military career paths based on their skills and interests. 
In order to take that test, applicants go to one of the 65 Military Entrance Processing Stations (MEPS).

If you’re heading OCONUS, it might feel like you’re teetering on going broke. That’s because PCS limbo is where budgets go to die. One minute, you think you’ve planned everything perfectly. The next, you’re panic-booking an overpriced hotel because your incoming base hotel doesn’t have rooms available, swiping your card for clothes you already own but can’t access, and realizing too late that your pet’s quarantine fees just ate your emergency fund. It happens fast.
Housing delays are the biggest money pit.

The most striking aspect of a mission that involved two B-52H Stratofortresses flying over Sweden on Tuesday was not the fact that the bombers conducted the B-52’s first live weapons drop in the country or that the two bombers flew in formation over the Swedish parliament to celebrate the country joining NATO a year ago.
No. What people will long remember about this mission is its name: Bomber Task Force mission VIKING NEBULA.

FORT IRWIN, Calif. — New capabilities will be left behind for real-world, operational use in the Pacific at the conclusion of this year’s major capstone Army exercise.
Project Convergence Capstone 5, hosted by the Army, is an experimentation venue for all the U.S. military services and key allies to train alongside each other and test concepts for integration.

The Army released a new version of its unified network plan, emphasizing the integration of zero-trust cybersecurity principles and efforts to streamline the transfer of data to better connect warfighters.
Network modernization is a top priority for service leadership. The deputy chief of staff, G-6, trumpeted the unveiling of Army Unified Network Plan 2.0 in a LinkedIn post Tuesday.
“AUNP 2.0 is new guidance on how the warfighter actually approaches, accelerates and operationalizes the unified network across the board,” Lt. Gen. Jeth Rey said in a statement.

Pentagon leaders will soon supply training materials and resources designed for acquisition officials at every level to help guide their implementation of Secretary Pete Hegseth’s new direction to speed up and standardize how the department buys software, DefenseScoop has learned. 
Hegseth issued a memorandum last week mandating all Defense Department components to use the Software Acquisition Pathway (SWP) — initially rolled out under the first Trump administration — when purchasing software that supports business and weapon system programs.

About 120 shipments of household goods for soldiers and military families moving to and from Fort Cavazos, Texas, were lost in a March 2 off-base fire that also displaced three soldiers when the blaze spread to a nearby apartment building, a source with knowledge of the matter told Task & Purpose.
U.S. Transportation Command officials are still determining exactly how many soldiers and military family members lost their belongings, which were being stored in the warehouse, according to a statement from III Corps, which is based at Fort Cavazos.

Ukraine has emerged as the world’s largest importer of major arms in the period from 2020 to 2024, according to data from SIPRI.

The US State Department has approved a potential FMS of GMLRS-AW rounds and associated equipment to Australia.

We have reported that China is one of the main drivers behind the Ukraine War.
It makes sense because to have the United States tied up in a war in Eastern Europe, prevents America from stopping China’s advance globally.
Therefore, China must try and keep the war going at all costs. Beijing is likely working with seditious elements within the U.S. government to achieve this goal.
This is the reason for the disastrous Oval Office escapade with Ukrainian President Zelenskiy.
It is the reason for the savage attack on Christianity in Ukraine — the Chinese fear Christiainity.

As the new American president shook allied capitals all over the world, a Virginia-class submarine — the USS Minnesota — arrived at a port in western Australia for the first of many routine Australian port visits slated for American submarines this year. It seemed like a positive signal for the U.S.-Australian alliance. And, despite uncertainty over America’s commitments, officials in the Trump administration have praised the AUKUS security compact.

China is systematically building a legal framework for a potential invasion of Taiwan. How can Taiwan’s friends, partners, and allies push back? We come together as a unique writing team: military lawyers from the U.S. and Taiwanese armed forces. We seek here to explore China’s ongoing legal preparations for the use of force against Taiwan and uncover likely legal maneuvers Beijing will employ in the lead-up to an invasion.

Tracy Lingle, from My Chow Line, sat down with Hots & Cots app developer/founder Rob Evans. Rob shared about his service in the Army and also discussed his application and the issues he sees with the current climate regarding food and housing in the military.

We dive into how his app is used by soldiers and sailors to help with reporting of both delicious and inedible foods as well as the conditions and quality of service found on military installations. We also discuss the implications this has on morale and the stigma around reporting issues to the chain of command.

After the fatal mid-air collision over Washington D.C. in January, the Coast Guard sent nearly 300 personnel, five full-size cutters and small boats from 11 stations to aid in recovery efforts.
The Jan. 29 collision sent an Army helicopter and a commercial jet into the cold waters of the Potomac River adjacent to Washington D.C. just before 9 p.m. An American Airlines jet approaching Reagan National Airport in Washington, D.C. collided with an Army UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter that was flying a training mission out of Fort Belvoir, Virginia.

U.S. Special Operations Command is pursuing a concept called “Drone in a Box” that aims to give commandos reconfigurable platforms that could serve as unmanned aerial systems or ground robots — depending on their location and operating environment.
The SOFWERX innovation hub and SOCOM’s program executive office for tactical information systems are gearing up for assessment events to evaluate industry solutions.

The Space Development Agency has once again pushed back the launch of its first batch of operational data transport and missile-tracking satellites, and is now targeting a date in “late summer 2025” to put the space vehicles on orbit.
SDA announced the delay for Tranche 1 of the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA) in a statement on Friday, citing continued supply chain woes as the main contributor to the decision to postpone launch. The agency plans to conduct around one launch per month until all 154 Tranche 1 sats are on orbit.

You’ve probably never thought of yourself as a person who’s the go-to when there’s a crisis. Sure, you keep a folder of important documents (because you’ve learned the hard way that the system will lose them), and yeah, you can pack up your entire house in 48 hours, but real emergency readiness? That sounds like something for preppers and doomsday survivalists. However, being prepared for a crisis is more important than you might think.
Except… think about it.

Ah Korea: the one place in the world that the United States can’t lose. Or win. Or ignore. For the last 70-plus years, North Korea and America have been locked in an ideological and sometimes violent struggle for supremacy on the Korean Peninsula, but it turns out that the headbutting between Washington and Koreans began long before Kim Il-Sung and his children ruled that communist state up north. 
The Medal of Honor, the United States’ highest award for valor in the face of the enemy, was established during the Civil War.

An infantry battalion known as the “China Marines,” has been reborn as a littoral combat team as part of the Marine Corps’ force structure changes that focus on China and the Pacific.
