Hundreds more miles of federal land along the U.S. southern border in Arizona is set to be transferred to the Department of Defense, further expanding newly created military zones — and the footprint of the military’s role in immigration enforcement.The newest military zone in Arizona — the fourth border zone created by the Trump administration — will encompass 140 miles of Department of Interior land near the Barry M. Goldwater range and will be transferred to the military as an extension of Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell told reporters Wednesday.The administration has created the zones as…
The Army has a gap to close between long-range precision weapons and indirect fires at closer ranges, so they’re looking to attack drones to fill in the mid-range capabilities, the service’s vice chief of staff said Wednesday.The 25th Infantry Division’s artillery command is testing out a new structure that pairs first-person view attack drones with traditional systems, Gen. James Mingus told an audience during an event at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.“There’s a belief out there that the singular way in which we approach fires, going back to the validity and use of cannon artillery, you know, is…
Over the past few weeks, House and Senate leadership have been able to advance President Trump’s “one big, beautiful reconciliation bill” and brought us closer to delivering the reforms we promised the American people. Amid the negotiations, Republicans have not lost sight of what this bill is: a once-in-a-generation chance to lock in pro-growth tax rates, secure the border, and rebuild the military.

Recent commentary downplaying the U.S. Army’s role in the Indo-Pacific misrepresents the complex security landscape and landpower’s essential place within it.Assertions that the Army is on a “dead-end ride to Asia” are short-sighted, overlooking how deterrence must function across sea, air, land, space, and cyber domains as was just witnessed in the Middle East with the extraordinary strike in Iran. Likewise, remarks by Air Force Chief of Staff General David Allvin and his so-called strategist—that one service must grow “at the expense of others,” namely the Army—undermine the foundations of the joint force.In today’s gray-zone competition and looming threat of…
The Defense Department confirmed it is in the midst of a munitions stockpile review that has halted the transfer of munitions promised to Ukraine during the last weeks of the Biden administration.During a press briefing Wednesday, a Pentagon spokesman declined to detail which weapons are on hold, when the hold began, or who is behind the review, first reported on Tuesday by Politico and the Wall Street Journal—to whom officials said DOD policy chief Elbridge Colby is responsible for the pause.While DOD is committed to ending the war in Ukraine, Sean Parnell told reporters, “the department is rigorously examining and…
As fireworks light up the sky and we celebrate our country’s independence, it’s a great time to reflect on another kind of individual freedom — financial independence. While our founding fathers declared freedom from tyranny and taxation without representation, you and I are trying to figure out how to be free from debt, worry and wondering whether we’ll ever retire.

Just like our nation’s founders took bold action to secure a better future, we can take a few deliberate steps to build financial freedom for…
