Modern peer combat has blown apart the myth of protected combat medical units. On the battlefields of Ukraine, scores of medical personnel, shielded in theory by both international law and historic norms, now lie dead. To survive in this environment while rescuing others, medics ranging from junior enlisted caregivers to senior physicians need tactical experience under fire.

These attacks offer a grim triple advantage: killing…

But within the medical field, a quieter question remains unresolved: What kind of drone do we actually need? The mission is clear: Class VIII resupply. For medical units, drones are not about sensors or delivering kinetic effects—they are logistical. The challenge lies in…

His daughter Michele, 33, was born with achondroplasia, a genetic disorder that causes dwarfism. Neither parent has a family history of the condition.
