I just found out I won 2 tickets to the Sunday Fan Fest at the Ellipse. When you enter the lottery, you had to select which day you wanted tickets for, Saturday or Sunday.

On the one hand, it’s truly a unique event opportunity. A 1 of 1. I can take…

The United States Army spent the last two decades optimizing sustainment for permissive environments defined by uncontested supply lines, contractor support, and static forward operating bases. As the National Defense Strategy shifts toward strategic competition and multidomain operations, however, this efficiency-driven model has become a liability. In large-scale combat operations, victory will depend less on which force fields the most advanced weapons and more on which can sustain combat power under persistent attack. A lethal maneuver force without a survivable logistical backbone is simply a stationary target waiting to culminate. The Weight of History: Lessons in Logistical Overreach History provides…

Iraq invaded Kuwait on August 2, 1990. The U.S.-led coalition launched air operations on January 16, 1991, and Kuwait was liberated by February 28. GPS-guided munitions, stealth aircraft, and real-time satellite intelligence performed beyond expectations. The revolution in military affairs stopped being theoretical.
