Secretary of War Pete Hegseth did not mince his words during a recent speech to senior leaders at Marine Corps Base Quantico. Addressing a room full of generals, flag officers, and senior enlisted, he laid out a stark truth harkening back to the time of George Washington: “To ensure peace, we must prepare for war.” The urgency could not be more clear. The Secretary reemphasized the War Department’s singular mission being warfighting. From there, he zeroed in on the foundation of lethality that enables a premier warfighting force: physical fitness. “It all starts with physical fitness and appearance,” he said, admonishing…
Analysts will be plenty busy at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency’s new St. Louis campus, but they won’t use their powerful workstations around the clock. So General Dynamics Information Technology is helping NGA stitch together the high-end PCs so their unused compute power can be harnessed even when their humans are elsewhere.“There’s a lot of [NGA] analysts that call the St. Louis area home, and as a part of moving into a new facility, they’ll be outfitted with all new IT at their desks,” Will Clapperton, a GDIT vice-president for geospatial services and solutions, told Defense One. “That analyst isn’t going…
Modular Driven Technologies (MDT) is now offering its right-handed MDT ACC Premier Gen 2 rifle chassis system for the Tikka T3/T3X and the Remington 700 long-action footprints. The MDT ACC Premier Gen 2 chassis is Modular Driven Technologies’ current iteration of its highly customizable and adaptable ACC Premier rifle chassis.

Weeks after ordering the U.S. military to kill 17 people in boats off Venezuela, the Trump administration justified the much-criticized strikes by telling Congress this week it believes the United States is in a formal “armed conflict” with drug cartels, which—if not checked by Congress or the courts—would grant him “extraordinary wartime powers,” the New York Times reported Thursday. Why it matters: “In an armed conflict, it is lawful to kill combatants for the opposing force on sight,” Charlie Savage and Eric Schmitt write for the Times. And that means from the White House’s perspective, “the laws of war permitted it…
Aiming is not simply a matter of visual alignment it’s a full body commitment. Your brain stitches together what your eyes see with what your body feels; like muscle contraction, tendon tension, joint angle and mixes that with balance info from the inner ear. Your body has field gear for this: stretch sensors in the muscles tell the brain how tightened or loose things are, tendon sensors tell you how much pull you’ve got on the gun and joint receptors tell you how bent or straight your arm is. Skin sensors on your hand pick up the tiny slips and…
Whitetail hunters love to argue about which state holds the biggest and baddest bucks. But which one is really the best?Well, a lot of what makes hunting ground “the best” depends on your personal preferences. Do you like big bucks, and you cannot lie? Maybe you just like to hunt around fewer people. Or maybe you like to feel like a kid in a candy shop, surrounded by opportunities for deer of all ages. Do you prefer to travel or are you more of a homebody? Maybe you like to manage a food plot and be able to set up…
Springfield Armory Saint Victor AR-15 (MSRP: $1,249) The modular nature of the AR-15 is one of its greatest strengths. Simply by changing the upper receiver, you can turn your AR into something built for long range, or change it again to create a suppressed close-in fighting platform However, this modularity means that it’s hard to know what an introductory AR-15 actually looks like. This where the Saint Victor line from Springfield Armory comes in. We covered the first version of the rifle as the kick-off for Rifle Roundup, and now Springfield Armory has updated the lineup with new features and…
