Ukraine will benefit from SAR satellite imagery data from Rheinmetall and ICEYE as Russian forces make operationally significant gains.

At exactly 10 p.m. on the warm, last night of May, Maj. Gen. William Zana received his orders and began his final guard shift on the smooth marble stone plaza at the center of Arlington National Cemetery. In two hours it would be midnight, a new day and new month. A new guard would relieve him at his post, he would march off the plaza and suddenly, instantly, be a civilian.
But for the final two hours of his 37-year career, Zana wanted one last chance to stand a shift he had held as a young sergeant: keeping watch over the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

Editor’s Note: This article first appeared in War on the Rocks to honor Veterans Day in 2017. Seven years later, its message of fostering meaningful communication between servicemembers and civilians is more important than ever. This Veterans Day, the country will pause to honor those that have served in the U.S. military — including more than 2.7 million veterans of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Yet, as many have noted, fewer than 1 percent of Americans serve in the military today, and they are growing increasingly distinct and isolated from the remaining 99 percent.

The names are false, the story is real.

Prologue
Chief Warrant Officer William “Bill” Collins served his country with unwavering dedication for over two decades. A combat veteran with numerous tours under his belt, Bill was known for his courage, leadership, and unshakable integrity.

The Coercion
In the Winter of Covid, Bill’s world turned upside down.

Blow out the candles, Marines, you’re a year older. The Marine Corps officially is 249 years old today. But you’re Marines, you already knew that. So happy birthday. 
It’s been a long, strange journey since the Marine Corps was first established. The Continental Congress ordered two battalions of Marines to be established way back on Nov. 10, 1775. Technically the Marines started with that resolution, but they really started thanks to bar patrons. The order given, Capt.

Turn back the page to the Atomic Age. It’s 1958. The United States and the Soviet Union have been busy testing nuclear weapons on Earth, but the launch of the Soviet satellite Sputnik 1 in 1957 has changed the entire Cold War. The Soviets proved they can launch a rocket, and therefore could launch a nuclear warhead, anywhere in the world. The United States, inside both its military and its scientific community, was scrambling for a response.
One plan? Nuke the Moon. Yes, the United States briefly considered blowing up part of the Moon.

Eighty-two years ago, Marine John Basilone ran through enemy lines, ferrying ammunition to his fellow troops as fierce fighting waged on the island of Guadalcanal. His actions helped hold off Japanese attacks and earned Basilone the Medal of Honor. He became a hero not just for the Marine Corps but for Americans during the war. 
Now the Navy has a new destroyer named in his honor. The USS John Basilone, an Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer, was officially commissioned by the U.S. Navy on Saturday, Nov. 9.

An Air Force Research Laboratory initiative that kicked off last year to enhance the department’s digital modernization efforts is bearing fruit for artificial intelligence, according to a senior official.
AFRL stood up an environment called the “LabVerse” around the time it created a new Digital Capabilities Directorate in March 2023.

Good afternoon! This is Jeff Schogol, your friend and humble Pentagon correspondent, and it’s an honor to once again bring you the Pentagon Rundown after a nearly three-year hiatus.
Right now, the Pentagon is in wait-and-see mode pending President Donald Trump’s return to office in January. During his last tenure as commander in chief, Trump was heavily involved in military matters. He canceled large-scale military exercises between U.S.

The prospect of former US president Donald J Trump securing a second term has become the reality to which European political and military officials must now adapt.

Trump has pledged to turn the US into a manufacturing superpower. But when it comes to semiconductors, he has his work cut out.

Donald Trump has been elected the 47th president of the US, in part by promising an isolationist agenda and an end to the wars abroad.

Nato nations must “wake up to the fact of who a
