Missile Marine Corps Aviation providing rides for Army Paratroopers at Exercise Saber Junction 2020...
Note. This is what we have become...a supporting force for the warfighters...
Missile Marine Corps celebrates the first "aerial insertion" of an unmanned aircraft?

This expeditionary training event was the first aerial insertion of an RQ-21 system via MV-22 Osprey and showcased the composite assault support capabilities of Marine Aircraft Group 24.

I know Berger considers this a big deal but I just can't get excited about it. A small, poor performing UAV being forward deployed by MV-22? I don't get the combat multiplier he's claiming. It'll last how long in peer combat? 10 minutes max? What exactly is this concept suppose to accomplish? How are a few scattered missiles suppose to help when a single Burke can carry almost 100 in its magazine? How many will the Missile Marines be able to deploy? If it's equal to a single Burke I'll be impressed...but then you have to consider signature, enemy ISR capabilities etc. Missile Marine units will be found, fixed and destroyed at the pleasure of the enemy. If they aren't destroyed then they'll simply be bypassed. This concept 2030 is a fraud.
Entourage in the Sky: Scarface, Pegasus conduct Escort Operations
Note. If an enemy has defenses that are sophisticated enough that our ships can't operate in within their range then how are we gonna fly transport helicopters without getting entire squadrons blown out of the sky? How are we gonna setup FARPs if they have detection networks that can hazard our fleets? Doesn't make sense. This is craziness! The GROUND COMBAT ELEMENT needs an advocate at the highest reaches of the Missile Marine Corps! I'm talking Assistant Commandant level advocate.

HMH-463 and HMLA-367 conducted escort training to increase combat readiness and proficiency between the two squadrons. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Samantha Sanchez) |
The Last of the M88
Note. Army recruiters should be hanging around waiting to gobble up the Marines that are getting tossed away. Hopefully those Marines are aware and have their heads on straight and will make the move. They have no place in the Missile Marine Corps.

Are we dealing with a mutated strain of Covid-19?
#Malaysia has detected a mutated strain of the novel #coronavirus, called D614G, which is "10 times" more infectious, the country's Health Ministry Director-General said. The mutation is also the predominant one found in Europe and the US. pic.twitter.com/BeS4SHWezD— People's Daily, China (@PDChina) August 17, 2020
This makes too much sense. I remember when this thing first started they talked about at least two strains of this thing and predicted that we would see many mutations.
Additionally if I remember correctly New York got hit with the "deadly" form of the disease while other countries were dealing with the minor form.
With this mutation we could be looking at round 2 (or is it 3) of this thing.
Question. In an average year about 1/2 a million people die from medical mistakes. Is it too much to ask just to swing the economy open full bore and to seek herd immunity?
Going off the tower with style...

What do you even call this rappel?
Lawlessness in Portland. No cause justifies this type of madness
My Fucking God— Tim Pool (@Timcast) August 17, 2020
He was trying to protect a trans woman and another woman so they chased his car till he crashed, pulled him out, beat him within an inch of his life...
THEN ROBBED HIM https://t.co/teSDPX5Ayy
WTF!
No cause justifies this type of madness.
And some people wonder why I have a concealed weapon AND a truck gun!

Old Skool versus New...
Simple question.
Is the F-35 cleared to carry the same ordnance the the old skool AV-8B can today?
If not then its a step backwards in kinetic ability which means a less capable Missile Marine Air Wing.

A gun bottle and improvised explosive devices over fishing rights? WTF is going on in those waters?
This is craziness but it would explain why we see fishing boats from Asian nations all the way in US, S. American, Canadian and in some cases even African waters.
We're seeing a resource war....low level but a resource war nonetheless.
Boeing Defence Australia’s secretive Airpower Teaming System (ATS), more commonly known as Loyal Wingman, has been spotted by sources out in the open

The Aussies have their shit together. This thing will be a HUGE export success (assuming they allow export) and if the US military was smart they'd be all over it.
How does this keep happening?
The US had a MASSIVE lead in this field but once again certain mafias (the F-35 mafia in this case) kept us from not only maintaining that lead but building on it.
They talk AI, Robotic Aircraft, playing quarterback to unmanned aircraft but DO NOTHING! We talk unmanned vehicles, had the TerraMax ready to go over a decade ago but DO NOTHING! We developed robotic combat vehicles but did NOTHING!
Innovation isn't the problem. It's an indecisive military leadership, coupled with our homegrown MIC, mixed with jacked up Think Tank gurus (that are actually shilling for big corporations), and finally all the mafias that will help cost us the next war.
Well done Australia. You guys are leading the way.
Little Groups Of Paratroops, Lethal Squads, Crews & Sections...National Airborne Day!
This #NationalAirborneDay celebrates 80 years of airborne ops. Its an honor and privilege to lead the world’s most lethal Airborne Division. Unbeatable LGOPs, lethal squads, crews, & sections! Anywhere in the world in 18 hours. Whatever the nation requires. pic.twitter.com/geamaddLxJ— AA6sends (@CDonahue1792) August 15, 2020
Hmm. Looks like the Missile Marines are trying to recreate the 82nd with a twist. Instead of LGOP, they're swinging with Little Groups Of Missile Marines!
