We are, unbeknownst to most Americans, in an undeclared war with Russia. A war that doesn’t make sense to any of its participants. A war that we the people did not vote for and never wanted. Yet the war goes on regardless. At the time of this article’s publication, Joe Biden approved the firing of long-range missiles that are killing Russians in Russia. As a result, we are closer to nuclear war than at any time in history, far closer than we were during the Cuban Missile Crisis.”

An Indiana Army National Guard soldier died on Saturday, Dec. 28, the Department of Defense announced today.
Capt. Eric Richard Hart, 34, died “as a result of a non-combat related incident,” according to the department.

The Department of Defense did not share any details into the circumstances of Hart’s death. The incident is under investigation.

Praxeology and War
Commentaries on war stretching back more than two millennia to the Peloponnesian Wars have enshrouded the fundamental causes of war in an almost impenetrable fog of myths, fallacies, and outright lies.
106 years ago, American troops were in a pitched battle for control of villages in northern Russia, fighting on a mission tied to a war that had ended a month prior. It was Dec. 30, 1918, and American soldiers from the Midwest were outside the village of Kadish, preparing to launch an offensive that would move from town to town, regaining territory ceded to Bolsheviks a month prior. It was part of one of the biggest fights between Americans and Russian communists, but it was years before the outbreak of the Cold War.
World War I ended on Nov. 11, 1918 with the armistice.

The Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency may soon launch a new program to develop more robust quantum sensors that can be integrated onto U.S. military platforms, according to a special notice.
Pentagon officials see quantum sensors as promising capabilities for alternative positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR).
However, there are challenges involved in deploying the technology that DARPA aims to tackle with a new program that it’s looking to kick off, dubbed Robust Quantum Sensors (RoQS).

President Jimmy Carter died today…may he rest in peace.
Far be it from me to demonize him, although it would not be hard to do so.
He was a successful business man and a Naval Academy grad.
But, President Jimmy Carter had many failures – one of the worst was the Desert One debacle, in addition to creating the Department of Education, and economic misery.
The failed mission of Desert One was one of the final disasters of the Carter presidency, where many U.S. servicemen died in a failed rescue attempt of the Iranian hostages.
James Earl Carter Jr., better known as Jimmy Carter, served as the 39th President of the United States from January 20, 1977, until January 20, 1981. During his political career, Carter also served as the Governor of Georgia and as a Member of the Georgia State Senate. After leaving the White House, the former President founded the Carter Center nonprofit organization with the goal of advancing human rights and alleviate suffering. In relation to this work, Carter received a Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.

Early in the Space Race, before the formation of NASA and even when the new organization was getting off the ground, the U.S. military took the lead on rocket development and space exploration. The Army, Air Force and Navy all had their own individual projects and studies. And the Air Force once proposed creating a weapons system on the Moon with the express purpose of bombing Earth.
Task & Purpose has previously dived into the ambitious Space Race plans for militarizing the Moon.

The Air Force is expanding the number of career fields eligible for large retention and reenlistment bonuses in the new fiscal year, in an effort to hold onto skilled troops when their talents are in demand elsewhere.
The Department of the Air Force released a memo listing 89 career fields in the U.S. Air Force in the 2025 fiscal year, up from 73 the previous one. The expanded list went into effect on Dec. 16, according to Ann Stefanek, an Air Force spokesperson. The jobs range from signal intelligence to nuclear weapons to maintenance for combat drones.

On December 7, 1941, 22-year-old radioman Warren “Red” Upton was getting ready to shave when a Japanese torpedo struck his ship, USS Utah (AG-16). In 2020, Upton recounted to The Associated Press that no one knew what caused Utah to shake. The battleship-turned-target ship was then struck by a second torpedo, which caused her to roll over and sink quickly. Upton abandoned ship, scraping barnacles on Utah‘s hull on his way down. He swam to shore with many of his shipmates.

GEN (Retired) Lloyd Austin will be replaced as SECDEF once the new administration’s pick is confirmed. He will finish nearly 50 years of service to our country. He achieved many firsts – first Black theater commander during war and the first Black SECDEF among other firsts. He does however, leave a troubling legacy as both an Army general and SECDEF.

Austin accelerated the spread of DEI within the US military as SECDEF.

The Army intends to award prototyping agreements to BAE Systems for new ultra-fast weapons to shoot down drones and other airborne threats, according to a recently posted notice.
The service in recent months has been doing market research to inform its pursuit of a “multi-domain artillery cannon” (MDAC) and hypervelocity projectiles (HVP), including via requests for information that were released in July.
“Based on market research conducted in July-October 2024 … the U.S. Army RCCTO believes BAE Systems Land & Armaments L.P.
A Coast Guard helicopter pilot received the Distinguished Flying Cross this month for his work commanding an hours-long rescue operation in late 2023 to save four people stranded at a canyon.
The rescue operation had to overcome severe weather, mechanical issues, limited fuel and expanding objectives. Despite all of the obstacles, Lt. Cmdr. Jacob Conrad and his crew were able to rescue the stranded people and ferry them to safety. Conrad was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross at a ceremony on Dec. 12.

New command opportunities are now available to Navy information warfare officers, according to service leaders.
In a message released to the MyNavyHR website recently, Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro indicted that IW officers will transition from restricted line officers to line officers performing information warfare duties. The move means that these service members are now eligible for “command for sea,” Vice Adm. Mike Vernazza, commander of Naval Information Forces, which is responsible for training and providing information forces to the fleet, said in a statement.
