I received a unique birthday gift this year. I think my fellow military history lovers will appreciate it as much as I do.
A sketch of the Rozich Blackburn Tompkins Bridge, a key pontoon bridge built to cross the Rhine in 1945, apparently signed by the men that built it!

While discussing his efforts to source engineering equipment & vehicles, Constantine - a Veteran of the 2014 invasion of Ukraine - also offered some really interesting insight into a perhaps under-appreciated need: battle taxis.

Beijing's reaction to rapid HIMARs deployment training in the Philippines has been very telling.

If you want to know what happens at the end of Pax Americana, the final stages of Pax Romana, Pax Mongolica, & Pax Britannica make for interesting reading. History doesn't necessarily repeat, but it does rhyme, so the saying goes.

We have solid folks out there.
