TRANSCRIPT:
“Seminars on “Genocide Through the Analytic of Gender”. Sounds interesting. So-called “Whiteness Studies”.
Courses that celebrate the “History of Hamas”, where a professor calls Islamist militants and their attacks, “astounding” and “incredible”.
Graduate studies that focus on the “Abolition of Law Enforcement”.

The Army has taken delivery of a UH-60M Black Hawk that has been upgraded with autonomous flight capabilities, the service announced Friday.
The optionally-piloted helicopter — which has been designated UH-60Mx — will move into a “rigorous testing phase” over the coming months, according to an Army news release. Upcoming tests are designed to validate the Black Hawk’s ability to be controlled by troops on the ground and perform in complex, real-world missions without a pilot in the cockpit.

U.S. Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Daryl Caudle is launching a strategic plan to guide the sea service’s deployments of modular, containerized weapons and payloads that can be quickly adapted to existing ships for distinct combat operations without the need for long, arduous or expensive asset overhauls.
This new strategy will mark a key element of Caudle’s broader modernization vision and “Fighting Instructions” to revamp the Navy into a hybrid force of flexible manned and unmanned platforms that expand the military’s global reach and capacity.

Leonardo has completed the previously announced €1.6bn ($1.8bn) acquisition of Iveco Group’s Defence Business, which includes the IDV and ASTRA brands.

The Defense Department and its federal partners issued a warning Friday to drone operators, threatening to impose massive fines, imprisonment and other measures on those who illegally fly unmanned aerial systems in restricted airspace.
Drone incursions over stateside military bases and other restricted areas have been widespread in recent years as commercially available systems proliferate. Just this week, the head of U.S. Northern Command and North American Aerospace Defense Command revealed that American forces recently identified and defeated a small UAS threat over a “strategic” U.S.

Where is Ali-Reza Asgari?
The Iranians have wanted to find that out since December 9, 2006, when Asgari, a retired major general in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, disappeared. His last known sighting was in Istanbul.
Some claimed the CIA or the Mossad (Israel’s secret police) kidnapped him or he was away on business. Neither of those possibilities is likely true. Asgari defected to the United States willingly, according to an extensive investigation by Iran International in 2024.

If eliminating Ali Khamenei on the opening day of the U.S.-Israeli offensive struck down the regime’s supreme leader, Larijani’s death removes its supreme coordinator.

The U.S. Air Force is seeking small, backpack-portable one-way attack drones for its special operations forces, according to a request for information (RFI) posted this week.
“Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) and Special Tactics units currently lack a purpose-built First-Person View (FPV) unmanned capability,” the RFI notes.

Somewhere in North Carolina, the headquarters element of the 82nd Airborne Division is sitting still. Not training. Not deploying. Just…waiting. The Army canceled its training rotation at Fort Polk, Louisiana, without much explanation, and the silence that followed has been louder than any press release.

Every Marine is a rifleman, but under new marksmanship rules announced this week, the few and the proud who also shoot pistols can now do so with an optic for the first time, Corps officials said.
A recent Marine Administrative Message, or MARADMIN, announced that Marines are allowed to use the M17 Romeo red dot optic for Combat Pistol Program qualifications. These types of optics use Light-Emitting Diodes, or LEDs, to project a dot at the point of aim. Military Times was the first to report on the MARADMIN.

The Canadian Defence Investment Agency has awarded a contract to Colt Canada for up to 65,402 assault rifle systems under the Canadian Modular Assault Rifle (CMAR) programme.

On this special, crossover episode of our members-only armed services podcasts, some of our hosts sat down to discuss their experiences with indirect fire and bombardment. With the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, they rehash some of their own personal stories, provide context on today’s threat environment, and share some advice for troops both downrange and at home.Image: Sgt.

The post Indirect Fire in the Global War on Terror and Today appeared first on War on the Rocks.

On June 30, 2025, as part of the process of normalizing relations with Damascus following the overthrow of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, the Trump administration overhauled the sanctions imposed on Syria to facilitate the rebuilding of that war-ravaged country. In the course of revising these sanctions, however, 266 employees of the Scientific Studies and Research Center, the heart of the Assad regime’s chemical weapons complex, were removed without explanation from the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Specially Designated Nationals List.

In the first few months of 2026, the Trump administration has embarked on military interventions in Iran and Venezuela and threatened possible annexation of Greenland. Meanwhile, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s February trip to Beijing followed on the heels of the first state visit to China by a British leader in eight years. As the United States and China prepare for their much-touted summit in late March, Beijing is weighing its options in the face of recent American actions and the new “Donroe Doctrine.

Reports from multiple sources have indicated that the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has successfully neutralised five Eurofighters at Ali Al-Salem Air Base in Kuwait. The strike is reported to have destroyed three Kuwaiti Air Force Eurofighters and severely damaged two Italian Air Force Eurofighters. This follows the confirmed destruction of an Italian Air Force MQ-9 Reaper reconnaissance and attack drone at the same facility, and strikes on Italian ground forces at facilities in Iraq by Iranian-aligned Iraqi paramilitary groups.

New details of major Korean People’s Army exercises conducted on March 19 have indicated that major advances in network centric and combined arms warfare capabilities have been made, potentially significantly enhancing the armed forces’ ability to conduct offensives against advanced South Korean and U.S. defences. The exercises were reportedly aimed at familiarising personnel with the coordinated order and combat methods in the tactical sub-units’ offensive action. Operations focused on combined tank and infantry to strike and occupying an adversary’s anti-armour defence lines.

Shortly after President Donald Trump initiated Operation Epic Fury against Iran on Feb. 28, forces under U.S. Northern Command used a new “Flyaway Kit” (FAK) to eliminate a drone threat at an undisclosed strategic military base, according to a top commander.
Gen. Gregory Guillot, the head of U.S. Northern Command and North American Aerospace Defense Command, spotlighted that incident in a written statement he submitted to the Senate Armed Services Committee ahead of a posture hearing he testified at Thursday morning.
