The U.S. Army is moving ahead to meet the Defense Department’s direction to cut the number of military moves. Army officials announced they’re cutting more than 12,000 relocations in fiscal 2026 and more than 13,600 in fiscal 2027, in an effort to provide more stability to soldiers and their families. The Navy and the Marine Corps haven’t established specific numbers of military moves targeted for reduction in 2026 or 2027, service officials told Military Times.

The Department of Veterans Affairs currently has 367 documented artificial intelligence use cases supporting everything from medical appointments and disability claims to customer service and records management. However, veterans seeking medical care or VA benefits may encounter artificial intelligence without realizing it.The VA’s recently released 2025 AI Inventory identifies 215 of those use cases as high-impact systems.

Iran has emerged stronger after the United States and Israel started a war on February 28th of this year. Now that the conflict appears to be winding down, the US has taken a beating while Iran is visibly the winner in all ways that matter. The US didn’t achieve a single stated military goal of the war. Sure, the Strait of Hormuz will reopen, but it was open before the joint US-Israel attack that kicked off the fighting. None Of The Most Important Issues Have Been Resolved By The Memorandum Of Understanding Iran is already aware of this fact, too.…

For a week we had been hunting chukars above the Snake River in eastern Washington, my son Chris and I, laboring along those god-awful lava slopes each day and getting back to camp late, bone-tired and rock-sore. We were set up just across the river from Lewiston, Idaho, where Jack O’Connor lived. I’d meant to call him and let him know we were around. But as the week wore on and we wore with…

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has warned that artificial intelligence-powered digital nuclear weapons could increase rivalries between already warring nations. CIA Director John Ratcliffe said that “AI tools will only continue to raise the stakes in our competition with all of America’s adversaries.” The United States’ Hypocrisy On Nuclear Weapons It would be “not misplaced to refer to their capabilities as akin to digital nuclear weapons,” he added, citing discussions within the administration of United States President Donald Trump. Ratcliffe further claimed that rival nations “work to steal and to manipulate America’s advancements for their own ends and gains.” Promises of…

The new information comes over a decade after the…
