The methods and means of conducting combat operations have changed significantly over the past decade, prompting militaries worldwide to react and adapt. Logistics, as one of the most critical components of modern warfare, has likewise undergone substantial transformation, with many changes already implemented and others still in the trial phase. Against this backdrop, so-called last-mile logistics has emerged at the forefront of both innovation and adaptation. Modern military thought emphasises that last-mile logistics–the final delivery of supplies, equipment, or support to frontline or operational units–remains one of the most vulnerable and complex aspects of military sustainment. Defining the last mile…

By Ray Furlong February 04, 2026 When a Russian “nesting-doll” satellite maneuvered into close proximity to a US satellite last June, it was the latest move in a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse in space. Cosmos 2558 had been observed shadowing USA 326 ever since being launched in 2022. But now it had hatched a surprise by releasing a smaller module that started moving even closer to the US satellite. “This is the second one we’ve seen do this from the Russian side,” said DeAnna Burt, who was chief operations officer at the US Space Force at the time of the…

WASHINGTON — The last remaining US-Russian treaty setting caps on nuclear weapons expired at the stroke of midnight, ending five decades of nearly continuous, if not always harmonious, negotiated efforts to lower the risk of Armageddon through mutual superpower restraint on the size of their respective weapons caches. And while Axios reported US and Russian officials are close to a deal to observe some of the treaty’s obligations, the formal demise of New START raises the risk of a new nuclear arms race arising between Moscow and Washington, with strategic and budgetary consequences for both, according to a number of…

Late last year, the Supreme Court blocked an attempted National Guard deployment into the Chicago area — but months earlier, far from the headlines, a federal memo was already reshaping what Guard “readiness” means at home. The Supreme Court’s order was procedural, not a final merit ruling. But it delivered a rare, immediate check on a Guard deployment that Illinois state officials argued violated the legal limits on federal power over state forces.The Chicago case matters but the more consequential development occurred months earlier, largely outside public view. In August 2025, the National Guard Bureau directed each state to establish…
