That the U.S. Army needs to adapt to drone warfare is obvious. The best institutional mechanism to do that is not.

The state of California encompasses a large area of approximately 100 million acres. Within the state’s borders, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, better known as CAL FIRE, serves and safeguards the people and protects the property and resources of California. In order to reach remote fires in the State Responsibility Area, CAL FIRE maintains a fleet of firefighting aircraft, many of which were converted from or originally designed as military aircraft.

Despite repeated warning from Israel and Western allies, Houthi terrorist continue to menace the Red Sea shipping lanes and fire ballistic missiles and drones at Israel. Today, Israeli aircraft retaliated against the Houthis. The attacks followed coalition attacks and though not a joint operation, there was deconfliction to avoid any potential friendly fire incidents.
Over the past two weeks, a number of ballistic missiles were fired into Israel, and though little damage was done, there was a sense of unease across the country.

Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David Allvin announced that service leaders will be conducting more formations for uniform inspections and will review policies and standards that look at ”waivers and the exceptions.” The message is the latest indication that Air Force leaders believe rank-and-file airmen need to more rigidly follow dress and appearance rules than many now do.
“We’re also directing that, episodically, we have the formations come together in uniform to do a couple of things,” Allvin said in a video message to the force Friday title “Standards Update.

Welcome to The Adversarial. Every other week, we’ll provide you with expert analysis on America’s greatest challengers: China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and jihadists.

The Pentagon does not have any plans to invade Greenland. 
If you’re wondering why we said that, it’s because President-elect Donald Trump recently refused to rule out using the U.S. military to take Greenland (and the Panama Canal.) Trump suggested that the United States might buy Greenland during his first term, but nothing came of it. Now, Trump’s national security team has begun discussing how the State Department would negotiate with Greenland and the island’s current rulers in Denmark, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Nearly all soldiers carry a spoon in their kit, but it’s hard to imagine it could be useful in combat. But in 1943, Army 1st Lt. Dwight “Steve” Varner used a teaspoon to bamboozle German and Italian soldiers into surrendering during fierce fighting in Africa. 
On May 5, 1943, Varner was a company commander in the 1st Armored Division, and attacked heavily defended German and Italian positions in northern Tunisia.
According to retired Air Force Col. Douglas Sterner, an historian of U.S.

A 1953 advertisement for the U.S. Air Force’s civilian Ground Observer Corps described America’s air defenses as a “10 mile high fence full of holes.” Seventy years later, the United States again finds itself unable to reliably detect and identify threats from the air. One need look no further than the 2023 Chinese spy balloon incident, the unattributed aerial incursions over Langley Air Force Base and other U.S. military installations at home and overseas, and recent reports of mysterious drone activity over several U.S. states to see the urgency of the issue.

Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks is poised to complete her tenure at the Pentagon under the Biden administration — and she’s been in direct contact with officials on President-elect Donald Trump’s Agency Review Team preparing for the upcoming transition, according to her top public affairs advisor Eric Pahon. 
In responses to questions from DefenseScoop this week, Pahon discussed Hicks’ plans and priorities for her final days helping steer the Defense Department’s major technology programs.

In 2021, Rear Adm. (ret.) Mark Montgomery wrote “Fully Fund the Guam Defense System,” where he argued that the U.S. government was failing to prioritize Guam’s defense, leaving the United States vulnerable to Chinese aggression in the Pacific. After the Missile Defense Agency conducted its first interception test in Guam last month, we asked Mark to revisit his article. Read more below. Image: Army (Photo by Capt.

Soldiers use tobacco pouches at a much higher rates than most American adults, a new study found. This news, while noteworthy, is unlikely to surprise anyone who is now, or has been, in the military.
Tossing in a pinch of dip, or a pouch, is so common in some units that you might spend your entire enlistment thinking your sergeant has an underbite and never realize that he just has a whole horseshoe of Grizzly Wintergreen Long Cut stuffed in his lower lip at all hours of the day.

After a string of attacks against European data

When trash bins overflowed at Fort Liberty and continued to pile up for weeks last winter, soldiers at the North Carolina Army base sent photos to a soldier-run Instagram account to highlight the unsightly issue. Comments flooded in, many of them jokes at the Army’s expense. Within days of that initial social media post, which prompted news coverage, base officials responded and the trash was removed.
The de facto smoke pit of the digital era, social media in the military has long been a gathering place for service members and veterans.

York Space Systems and SpaceX have successfully demonstrated the ability for two satellites built by different vendors to link together using a standardized optical communications terminals protocol required by the Defense Department, York announced Thursday.
The two satellites were stationed in low-Earth orbit as part of the Space Development Agency’s Tranche 0 — a batch of experimental systems launched in 2023 that serve to test and validate SDA’s future mega-constellation known as the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA).

The Navy’s next-generation aerial jamming system reached initial operational capability in December, according to the sea service.
Officials announced this week that the Next Generation Jammer Mid-Band pod, which will be mounted on EA-18G Growler aircraft, had reached the critical milestone — meaning the design, testing and production of the pod meets the logistical needs of the carrier air wings and Growler squadrons.
Overall, the NGJ — a cooperative program with the Royal Australian Air Force — is the replacement for the decades-old ALQ-99.
