The White House wants to speed up shipbuilding, but first, the Navy has to loosen its grip—at least according to one senator. “The Navy has taken over shipbuilding, I believe, to their detriment,” said Sen. Tim Sheehy, R-Mont., a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, during a Center for Strategic and International Studies event on Tuesday. “An average naval officer is not a shipbuilding expert. They’re just not…It takes decades to build that institutional knowledge of not just naval architecture, but also knowledge of the industrial base, to effectively build the ship and build it fast and build it right.…
U.S. military veterans transitioning into the technology job sector require more effective resources and program needs, according to a recently published government report.As the U.S. workforce becomes increasingly technology-driven, high-tech training is critical for veterans transitioning to civilian life and pursuing stable, lucrative jobs. Prospects are dependent on whether government programs are properly managed and include sufficient oversight.The Government Accountability Office (GAO) in its Sept. 30 report said that Veteran Employment Through Technology Education Courses (VET TEC) designed to help veterans transition into high-tech jobs, fell short of leading practices for effective pilot programs.The $262 million initiative enrolled more than 20,000…
National-security-law experts worry that guidance from the military’s top legal minds is being ignored by the Trump administration, which is pushing troops into new legal territory with deployments to U.S. cities and strikes on alleged drug-runners abroad.”One of the things I fear might be happening here is that the judge advocates in this instance may be providing proper means and methods advice, but I sense that the administration has gone to the Department of Justice and asked the Office of Legal Counsel to override whatever advice is being given by the judge advocates,” James Baker, a law professor at Syracuse University…
The U.S. is falling behind in biotechnology development, Sen. Todd Young, R-Ind., said Wednesday—adding that he and other lawmakers are working to help the country catch up with China’s push to incorporate technologies like gene editing for human performance on the battlefield.As the Trump administration slashes scientific research funding, Young and his colleagues are hoping to impress upon the executive branch the necessity of biotech as not just a national-security priority, but as an economic driver for its voter strongholds. “One general category in which the Chinese, in particular, are out-classing us, is in bio-manufacturing, industrial applications of biotech – new…
By most accounts, President Trump and President Erdogan had a productive meeting in the White House last month. Several major business deals were agreed, including cooperation on civilian nuclear energy. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the future of Syria were also on the agenda.Another topic that received considerable attention was U.S.-Turkish defense cooperation. In recent years, Turkey’s domestic defense industry has gone global. Turkish weapons—especially drones—are sought after from Asia to Africa to Europe. While U.S.-Turkish defense cooperation remains healthy, there is plenty of room for growth. But one sticking point still needs to be resolved to take the relationship…
Viridian Weapon Technologies recently unveiled a compact enclosed emitted green dot reflex sight, the Viridian RFX 42.

In addition to this, the RMSc optics…
The Hellcat Pro pistol continues to be Springfield Armory’s flagship model in the micro-9mm double-stack defensive carry pistol market segment. This question would seem rather elementary, but what good is any carry pistol without proper holsters? Here is an assortment of a few holster options—both modern and traditional—for the Springfield Armory Hellcat Pro. Milt Sparks Summer Special 2 (MSRP: $190) One of the holsters that put Milt Sparks on the radar was its original Summer Special.

Skeptical senators grill White House pick to lead Indo-Pacific policy. Led by Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., a bipartisan slice of the Senate Armed Services Committee took turns on Tuesday expressing concerns about the Trump administration’s inward shift in national-security focus and its alienation of key allies and partners in the Asia-Pacific region.Wicker: “The Chinese Communist Party, along with the nuclear-armed Russia and North Korea, pose a significant threat to the United States. The scale and scope of that threat put a premium on our alliances. In light of that, I’m disappointed with some of the decisions the department has made…
