Australian Army & US Marine Corps @ Exercise Koolendong 2021 at Bradshaw Field Training Area, Northern Territory.

 

BLT 1/1 Charlie Company QRF rehearsal

Quick Reaction Force rehearsal. I don't know if they're talking about old skool QRF to respond to a developing situation where they need shooters on the ground or the Force Design 2030 where they're flying off to guard unmanned missile trucks. Hell maybe they're talking about both.  Its obvious that they're still developing this concept.

No wonder people are fleeing big cities..Philly looks like shit!

I've seen people "stalled out" on Fen and Mojo but this is beyond the pale.

How is law enforcement supposed to deal with this?

Bigger question.

How do we compete with China when we have this kinda thing going on?

Time for a back to basics movement govt wide.  We've tried drug treatment.  Didn't work.  It's time to smash this shit.  

I know.  Destroyed lives over a personal choice argument.

Looking at that and tell me that isn't having a wider economic (business destroyed in that part of town or transformed to service the needs of the bums and druggies), and health implications (probably greater than Covid...have you been to an emergency room on a Fri, Sat nite....that's why urgent cares are so popular ... at least in my area).

Past time to look after VITAL national interests only...but taking care of the mess at home should come first.

Israelis abandon the Tavor. Will issue the Western world's standard pattern rifle...the M4.

 

Trouble with the ACV...

The Marine Corps ordered an immediate stop to any waterborne operation of its fleet of amphibious combat vehicles until it resolves an issue with a troubled towing mechanism, the service announced Friday afternoon.

“Out of an abundance of caution, the Marine Corps has suspended waterborne operations of the Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV) after identifying an issue with the towing mechanism. The Marine Corps is working on identifying and fixing the root cause of the problem,” Maj. Jim Stenger, a spokesman at Marine Corps headquarters, said in a statement. “Realistic training is a vital component of readiness, and the Marine Corps is committed to ensuring Marines train under the safest conditions possible; this includes ensuring the functionality of vehicles and equipment.”
