As military moving season shifts into high gear, service members and their families should be seeing the results of changes aimed at improving their household goods moves.And for those experiencing issues, there’s a direct line to DoD’s new Personal Property Activity, where service members can ask for assistance.

That includes calls received into the center, as well as calls made from the center. “We often see issues arising, and…

Making a list of the top “Murica” games can be hard because it’s incredibly personal to every American gamer, depending entirely on how they interpret history. My criterion today is simple: How shamelessly patriotic is the video game? When I’m playing, if Hulk Hogan’s theme song “Real American” isn’t playing in my head, the game is immediately disqualified. I have to think: “What would the squad from “Team America: World Police” be playing?” Mechanically, there are countless better war-themed games out there, but they lack the music or the atmosphere that oozes pure patriotism. Therefore, they didn’t make the cut.…

Echodyne, based near Seattle, is shipping radars as fast as it can make them, and will cut the ribbon on a new facility this month that at full rate will lift production capacity tenfold.As…

The Department of Defense plans to bring new models onto its internal, department-wide artificial intelligence marketplace and deploy them at higher classification levels, part of its updated procurement policy that aims for “commercial-first” in its deliverables. Cameron Stanley, the chief digital and artificial intelligence officer at DOD told attendees at the AWS Summit in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday that as GenAI.mil reached a record 1.7 million users—along with the creation of over 100,000 custom agents—even more models will soon be made available on the platform.“We’re looking forward to advancing, getting new models on to GenAI.mil, we’re looking at GenAI.mil going to…

Deep staffing cuts at the Pentagon’s independent weapons testing office last year have left the organization with fewer specialists who are now overseeing programs outside their areas of expertise, increasing the risk that problems with new weapon systems could go undetected before they reach troops.  Congress stood up the Office of the Director, Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E) in 1983 following a series of scandals around a number of weapon systems that didn’t perform as expected. The M16 rifle, for instance, malfunctioned so badly in the field that it cost many soldiers their lives. Those deadly combat failures were exactly…
