Daryl Caudle, speaking at the 38th Annual Surface Navy Association National Symposium in Arlington, Virginia, on Wednesday, explained that he understood the initial reticence to accept the inclusion of battleships as part of the Navy’s new Golden Fleet.“We just have biases, cognitive biases, in our brain,” Caudle said. “And what comes to our brain is a thing that goes, like, ‘Why is the Navy…

This much we know: at least 154 women have earned the vaunted black-and-gold Ranger tab, according to U.S. Army data from early 2025. Ranger School is designed to push soldiers to their limits. It demands peak performance while sleep deprived and hungry. A swim test conducted in full uniform. A five-mile run in no more than 40 minutes. A 12-mile foot march lugging a 35-pound rucksack. And that’s just the preliminary phase. For much of its history, it stood as the Army’s most grueling test of physical and mental prowess — reserved exclusively for men. That changed in 2015 when…

Lockheed Martin delivered 191 F-35 Joint Strike Fighters last year, according to the company, the highest yearly amount in the program’s history, as the major defense contractor worked to clear out a backlog of previously undelivered jets. The total far surpassed the previous record of 142 F-35s for 2021. It follows two slower years for F-35 deliveries — 98 in 2023 and 110 in 2024 — that were due to the Defense Department decision to stop accepting new F-35s because of problems with Technology Refresh 3, or TR-3, updates. Over that three-year span, Lockheed delivered an average of 133 F-35s…

Just hours after a man was shot in the leg by federal law enforcement, United States ruler Donald Trump threatened to use the military in Minnesota to quell protests.

Denmark has started what appears to be a major buildup of troop presence in Greenland. This deployment comes as the United States continues to threaten a takeover of the Arctic island. Trump voiced aspirations for acquiring Greenland shortly after taking office for his second term and renewed the push in recent weeks. The president has claimed that US control over the island is needed for the sake of “national security.” He has also cited the allegedly imminent Russian or Chinese takeover of Greenland. The latter claim has been disputed by both Moscow and Beijing, as well as challenged by officials…

The Trump administration’s effort to rename the Department of Defense as the Department of War could cost taxpayers anywhere from $10 million to $125 million, according to an analysis released by the Congressional Budget Office on Wednesday. The 11-page report said a “modest implementation” of the name change would cost about $10 million. But that figure could rise up to $125 million if the new moniker were adopted “broadly and rapidly” across the department. The congressional office noted the estimate is “uncertain” because the Pentagon “has not provided information” about how it plans to carry out the executive order signed…
