Wow. Iraq made a memorial from the wreckage of our drone strike on the Iranian General
The wreckage from the U.S. drone strike that killed Qasem Soleimani & Abu Mahdi al-Mohandes in Iraq last year is now a memorial site on Baghdad’s airport road... #PrecisionStrike pic.twitter.com/uGpDrfNjDE

Is Iraq OUR ally or are they an ally of Iran? I'm having a real hard time understanding whose side they're on!

Airborne Assault is the last remaining form of forcible entry we have.
It will be hard.
It is not to be undertaken lightly.
It will be an "all hands on deck" moment.
But if we have to do it, it is an option. Our only remaining option to put boots on the ground in a place where the enemy doesn't want us to have boots on the ground.
1st Marine Air Wing Noncombatant Evacuation Operations (NEO) Exercise...
A NEO is the ordered or authorized departure of civilian noncombatants and nonessential military personnel from danger in an overseas country to a designated safe zone. The training hones #Marines capabilities as a skilled and lethal expeditionary fighting force. pic.twitter.com/WazG7qG6cP

Wow.
I'm seeing some movement toward retaining what is probably called "legacy" skills like this NEO exercise but at the same time its sprinkled with the "Stand In Force" narrative.
I don't see how both can exist.
Additionally I've seen alot of the captions calling the Marine Corps a "Stand In Force" AND A "Force in Readiness".
Again.
I don't see how both can exist in the same organization. Quite honestly one role will be prioritized over the other. Or am I just wrong?

The Brits are confusing.

It is so good to see American ground forces getting into the electronic warfare game.
Circumstances, bad planning, false assumptions...possibly all three will see our air power fighting to hold on. In other words I don't believe they'll be able to provide the expected support in the next war. They'll try but they'll have other fish to fry.
Help might not be coming for the ground force when it comes to electronic warfare. It might be up to them. Systems like this will be vital.

Mob violence in Israel...terrible, terrible look...
A man was taken out of his car and beaten in Bat Yam for being suspected of being an Arab in what Israeli media is calling a lynch. I have no words. pic.twitter.com/lKjMDsOOFR
