In college athletics, attention gravitates toward the visible: the head coach pacing the sideline, the star player under stadium lights, the results posted on scoreboards and social feeds. What rarely makes headlines is the work happening quietly in the background—the conversations without cameras, the mentorship without metrics, the leadership that doesn’t announce itself until years later. Yet it’s often this unseen work that determines whether a program merely wins or truly endures. Robby Emery has spent much of his life operating in that space. A pastor, public speaker, and Michigan Football’s Director of Character Development, Emery doesn’t measure success in…

The omoplata has been one of my favorite submissions since I started training BJJ in the early 1990s. But like any submission your opponent won’t just go gentle into that good night; it’s an absolute certainty that he is going to try to escape your attack. And one of the most common counters is your opponent stepping over your head to get to the far side of your body and freedom when you’re attacking him with the omoplata. To get good at ANY submission you need to understand the counter and recounter game.  “I do this… he tries to counter…

OLESZNO, Poland — Soldiers assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 66th Armored Regiment, 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, conducted an armored live-fire exercise and technology demonstrations during Operation Winter Falcon 26 at the Drawsko Combat Training Center in Oleszno, Jan. 13. The event demonstrated how modern military operations rely on integrating multiple systems, including unmanned aerial systems and counter-UAS capabilities, to strengthen defensive capabilities. The demonstration reflected how the United States and its NATO allies are modernizing to reinforce defenses in Poland and across the alliance. Polish and U.S. forces fired their M1A2 Abrams tanks side by side on the firing…

The Royal Air Force’s joint Typhoon squadron with Qatar, 12 Squadron, has deployed to the Gulf for defensive purposes noting regional tensions as part of the UK-Qatar Defence Assurance Agreement, demonstrating the strong and enduring defence relationship between the UK and Qatar. 12 Squadron has regularly deployed to Qatar to conduct joint training and share experiences which enhance national and regional security. Recently, the RAF deployed on exercises such as EPIC SKIES and SOARING FALCON – further reinforcing the operational capability between our two nations. Defence Secretary, John Healey MP, said: “Qatar and the UK are close partners with historic…

For much of its history, surveillance automation has followed a straightforward formula. Set the rules, define the zones, wait for the triggers. If someone crosses a boundary, the alarm sounds. If a vehicle overstays, issue a warning. These systems work to a point, but as defence facilities grow more complex and threat profiles more dynamic, the rule-based approach is showing its age.Australian company SenSen Networks is pushing a different model through its SenTRACK 2.0 platform, and it’s one built around role-based analytics rather than static conditional logic. For defence agencies tasked with protecting sensitive infrastructure such as data centres, logistics…

WASHINGTON  — The Army is rolling out four prototypes of its M1A1 Abrams replacement to a platoon this summer — five years earlier than the service initially planned, Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George said.  It’s not that the tanks will be fully ready that much sooner, but the service — in line with a broader Pentagon push — doesn’t want to wait until every single requirement is met before allowing soldiers to field-test the equipment, George said. That way, soldiers can test different hardware and software components to determine what works best. “When a vendor comes and says,…

On 17 January, President Donald Trump announced a 10% tariff on US imports from the United Kingdom, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Finland, Germany, and the Netherlands in response to opposition to US control over Greenland, with plans to raise the tariff to 25% on 1 June. He later rescinded the threats, stating at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting that a framework deal on Greenland had been reached. Regardless of whether tariffs are enacted, the episode has deepened unease among European and Nato security stakeholders. As perceptions of the US as unpredictable grow—and as the risk of future tariffs persists—European…

The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941 had drama aplenty to go around, but one of the standouts did not involve a battleship, but a humble repair ship moored nearby. Capt. Cassin Young’s actions that day gave a new meaning to the slogan “Don’t give up the ship,” though later, aboard a heavy cruiser, he would carry those words to a watery grave.Young was born in Washington, D.C. on March 6, 1894 and his choice of a naval career carried him through to graduation at the U.S. Naval Academy in June 1916. After entering service on the…
