Alaska based Coast Guard aviators showcase rescue demonstration during multi-agency hoist symposium...Photos by Alejandro Pena

Note. Time to upgrade the Coast Guard. First we need a division of the force. A law enforcement branch that will remain under homeland security and a military side that is partnered full time with the Navy. With this division you will see the Coast Guard acquire new capabilities such as long range large scale rescue at sea that will require new equipment...LIKE SEA PLANES!!! They will also get the older Burkes that are life extended and dump all the short ranged helos in favor of at least BlackHawks. Current cutters will go with the law enforcement branch along with the short range helos. Future ice breakers will go with the military side of the house. A minor reorganization will add combat power to the Navy and will provide the Coast Guard with the ability to conduct TRUE grey zone operations with the ability to flex into combat ops while still protecting the homeland.

Where did this fight between Thailand and Cambodia come from?

 

I never even got a whiff of an upcoming fight between Thailand and Cambodia. They've always had borden tensions but they were moderated and controlled...until now. I checked open sources and no one else saw it coming either. What happened? What pushed them over the line into an actual fight? Oh and everyone, including me, believes Thailand will win if it escalates .... BUT, if this is a prolonged conflict and China decides it wants to play then all bets are off. A sudden influx of high tech weapons could change everyones calculus.

This is so sad. Marine Corps tries to ride Army shine on their (the US Army's) successful firing of the SM-6

 via USNI News

“We validated mobile command and control at scale — integrating joint and multinational fire assets to apply decisive combat power at a time and place of our choosing. That’s how MRF-D operates as a stand-in force: lethal, agile and always in position to act with allies and partner forces,” said Col. Jason C. Armas, commanding officer of MRF-D 25.3 in a release,

Dude!

Just!

Shut!

The!

Fuck!

Up!

The pathetic grab at getting a piece of the Army's shine is here.

3rd Multi-Domain Task Force (3MDTF) conducts the first Mid-Range Capability live fire exercise outside of the continental United States successfully sinking a maritime target with a Standard Missile-6 Force during Exercise Talisman Sabre 25

Note. Love the concept or hate it but the US Army has gotten this down pat. We haven't even seen the USMC launch its missile while the Army is already sinking ships. The one thing that is giving me pause is that we're using anti-aircraft missiles (which we apparently have a limited supply of) against ships. I mean from a historic perspective we're kinda repeating the German WW2 example with the 88mm flak gun.

Announcing REGENT Defense

This is wild and embarrassing. I know some of these dudes and have met them all..

I don't know why the focus is on the subway owner. The real story is that they arrested some police chiefs in this thing. Worse? Police chiefs were having an association meeting in Baton Rouge and the FBI, IRS, ICE and State Police arrested a few more of them there (rightfully so don't get it twisted). This is a real shame and disgrace.

The Lampasas river in Texas rose 31 feet in 4 hours earlier today

 

WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING IN TEXAS! This is becoming "a trend" (like MrGunsnGear says) or a feature. Both options are terrifying.
