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. Why it mattersDesert Storm fundamentally reshaped how the U.S. military thought about warfare — validating precision strike, joint operations, and the integration of space-based assets in ways that would define American defense investment for decades.

Georges St-Pierre says the UFC did approach him to face Anderson Silva in a superfight, but it never went beyond that lone conversation.“What happened is that, at the time and when I was in my prime and Anderson Silva was in the prime… I can only speak from my side,” St-Pierre told Demetrious Johnson. “I don’t know what was happening on Anderson Silva’s side.“I was only asked once by Dana and Lorenzo… and I had the request because I was like, OK, you want me to get out of my way to go up a weight class, I need to…

The idea for Clearspeed did not begin in Silicon Valley. It emerged from Lt. Col. Alex Martin’s deployments during the Global War on Terror, where insider attacks and the challenge of vetting partner forces exposed dangerous gaps in battlefield security. Alex Martin, the CEO and co-founder of voice analytics company Clearspeed, traces the origins of the company to a deadly insider attack during a deployment with the U.S. Marine Corps. Martin served on active duty from 2004 to 2011 in infantry, reconnaissance, and Force Reconnaissance units, deploying multiple times during the height of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He…

At the outset of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran in February 2026, the Islamic Republic appeared battered and weakened. Large-scale bombing had destroyed industry and infrastructure, and a U.S. naval blockade had devastated an already ailing economy. In early March, U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters on Air Force One, “We’ve decimated their whole evil empire.” Several weeks later, he declared “total and complete victory.”Three months in, however, the picture looks quite different. Iran retains its military and industrial capacity, and despite Trump’s call for Iranians to topple the regime, no popular uprising is in the offing. The war’s initial…
