The U.S. Department of War began developing the concept of Combined Joint All Domain Command and Control in 2019 as an effort to improve command and control by connecting systems across the land, air, sea, space, and cyberspace domains. New network infrastructure related to this effort must be both efficient and resilient, requiring dedicated personnel and resources to manage the infrastructure, troubleshoot problems, and provide cybersecurity. The Department of the Air Force has proposed standing up a command-and-control combined network and security operations center to support operational elements. Private industry has been employing digital integration to engage customers and maintain…

ANKARA — President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that the United States will give a license to Ukraine for Patriot missiles as he said both Russia and Ukraine want to see the war settled.“We’re going to give a license to you to make Patriots. That’s pretty cool. This way, you can’t complain that we’re not giving ‘em enough,” Trump said at a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the NATO summit in Ankara.“It’s a defensive weapon, which I like better than an offensive weapon,” Trump said.The U.S. president’s comments were quickly picked up by Russian state media, which keeps…

Conor McGregor has once again unloaded on his arch-rival, Khabib Nurmagomedov. McGregor believes the undefeated former lightweight champion and UFC Hall of Famer has done nothing in the sport and should not be ranked amongst the greats. During an interview with Complex, McGregor quipped: “Can’t even kick above their fu**ing knee. Can’t even kick. Can’t even touch their feet. That is not martial arts. That is nothing to me. Come on. The guy has done nothing in the sport. He’s got nothing in the sport. 13 fights he’s had in the company. That’s it. And three against named opponents.” Check…

When people hear the largest air force, they often picture sleek fighter jets roaring across the sky or stealth bombers disappearing into the horizon. But the real story is much bigger than that.Behind every military aircraft taking off is a vast ecosystem of transport planes, helicopters, aerial refueling tankers, surveillance aircraft, trainers, and support crews that keep an air force operating around the clock.That raises an interesting question: Which country actually has the largest air force in the world? The answer isn’t always as straightforward as counting fighter jets.Modern military aviation is measured by the total number of operational aircraft…

Sounds like 170 pounds will be his new home for the foreseeable future.“You’re going to have to do something really big to get Conor at 155 again,” Coach John Kavanagh told mixedmartialarts.com (via MMA Fighting). “170 is a comfortable cut for him now and he’s got the frame for it. He certainly has the strength for it. He’s always had an unusual — he’s got that orangutan reach, so he’s comfortable at that. He can tie his shoelaces without bending down, you know?”“How does the calendar look? I stay in my lane, I’m just the coach. But of course, I…

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said the United States would probably launch further strikes on Iran and could resume a blockade on the country’s ports, ratcheting up pressure on Tehran and raising the prospect of a return to all-out war. “We hit them very hard last night,” Trump said Wednesday on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey. “Probably hit them hard again tonight.” Trump spoke hours after the U.S. launched strikes on Iran, with almost 40 fighter jets — F-35s, F-15s, F-16s and F/A-18s as well as drones — hitting targets with precision-guided weapons, according to a…

I highly recommend that you watch this video of Dorian Yates training with Leroy Davis, Blood & Guts. There is no such thing as “I can’t” when it comes to building muscle and strength. Whatever arena you choose to excel in, progress is motivated by one thing and one thing only—the catalyst that triggers a cascade of metabolic events leading to the result you seek: can’t. What Is Training to Failure? To improve, the objective must be reaching the point where you physically cannot do more. In other words, you must fail. Failure—true failure (more on that in a minute)—is…

Cargo theft is no longer just a problem of broken seals, stolen trailers and opportunistic theft on the roadside. That world still exists, but it is no longer the main story. The real shift is happening upstream, inside the digital workflows on which logistics depends every day: quoting, carrier onboarding, load boards, document exchange and payment. That is where fraud is now hiding.The scale of the problem is rising fast. FBI reporting shows that cargo theft losses in the U.S. and Canada reached nearly $725 million in 2025, up 60% year-on-year. Reported incidents rose 18%, while the average value per…

The United States is preparing for cyber conflict with a military structure that still treats cyberspace as a secondary supporting function.We have soldiers for land, sailors for sea, airmen for air, and guardians for space. But in cyberspace, a borderless domain where American forces are engaged with adversaries every day, we still do not have a military service whose central purpose is to build a quality, expert force, equipped with the most cutting-edge capabilities, for war-fighting in the cyber domain.For more than a decade, Washington has tried to patch this problem instead of fixing it. Congress has granted U.S. Cyber…

Many disabled veterans serve in agencies. In fact, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that in 2024 about one-fifth of employed veterans with a service-connected disability worked for the federal government. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Veterans Affairs Department is one of the most common agencies where veterans work. It employs more than 105,000 vets, according to federal workforce data from the Office of Personnel Management, which is nearly a quarter of the department’s workforce. Several disabled veterans who work at the VA told Government Executive, however, that they feel the department is pushing them out of their jobs. At the start of his second…
