Small Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (SUAS) in Divisional Brigades
The authors identified options for the Army to field and employ small uncrewed aircraft systems at the division, BCT and battalion levels to enhance fire support capabilities.

Thrilled to see this out! I was fortunate to work w/a tremendous @rand research team on a sUAS project sponsored by 18th Airborne Corps. My focus was on maximizing the army's sUAS training ecosystem from the unit-level to institutional army. 1/

The FBI requesting fiber-optic drones is incredibly dumb and also very funny
Yall think your threat model is “jamming with electronic warfare weapons” and not “your barely-trained pilot wraps your way over-priced American made fiber optic drone cable around a Chick-Fil-A drive through sign??”

Day 3 of the dysfunctional shit show, our Russia-Ukraine follies. Rubio reportedly calling everyone and essentially saying the Witcoff/Vance plan is a piece of Russian shit…well, that’s very good at least. Entire episode is ludicrous, and almost amusing, if stakes were not so high.

Two things can both be silly/dumb at once:
• A former SEAL specifying that he was in D Co at Army jump school rather than A, B, or C Co like that’s a flex
• The idea of *GWOT* paratroopers being “used to being behind enemy lines”

Wtf is a service secretary doin there
President Zelenskyy said he spoke with US Vice President Vance and Army Secretary Driscoll for nearly an hour, discussing details of the American peace proposal. They agreed to work with America and Europe at advisor level to create a workable path to peace, with teams ready to work around the clock

Environmentalism and prosperity are inherently connected.
If there’s no shale gas then there’s no shale gas, but I still think environmentalism is basically bad and politicians should focus more on material prosperity.
