Such payloads would include the maximum equivalent of more than four 40-foot containers — cargo that would roughly equal the size of the Navy’s anti-ballistic missile system, the Mark 70 Mod 1 Payload Delivery System. “MASC seeks to leverage cutting-edge technologies and modular design principles to…

You’ve heard them during morning formations, over the roar of C‑17 engines, and in muddy chow halls at 0400.

Each is a signature of branch pride, and each carries a history steeped in grit, camaraderie and tradition.Hooah: the Army’s walkman of affirmation“Hooah” is the Army’s answer to everything from “loud, gym‑ready affirmative” to “I acknowledge” and sometimes even “I disagree, but I’m not arguing.” It’s an emotional Swiss Army tool, and its origin is debated.
