@johnhendren @united @AJEnglish So sorry you have to go to that, John. Iraq is looking good now.

[James A. Garamone @GaramoneDODNews]

@EODHappyCaptain Good luck!

[James A. Garamone @GaramoneDODNews]

@halbritz @CNN You deserve this. We are all so proud of you!

[James A. Garamone @GaramoneDODNews]

@MeghannMyers_ @SeaAirSpace So proud of you! And you did all that while raising another human.

Trump-class battleships? Every time you think he has done the dumbest thing to the military, he comes up with something even more stupid. Does any leader in the
Navy think this is really a good idea?

[James A. Garamone @GaramoneDODNews]

@KToropin @lbaldor @TaraCopp Good for you. Good for the AP. Good for the First Amendment.

@ZcohenCNN @NatashaBertrand @KatieBoLillis Pretty sure this is not going to be feasible. Scaling up Israel’s Iron Dome to a continent-sized defense shield will be incredibly expensive. (And require Canadian cooperation which they don’t feel like doing) The money would be better spent in research for leap ahead technology.

@MeghannMyers_ We didn’t want to encourage you.

[James A. Garamone @GaramoneDODNews]

@kejamieson_ I did that on land once. I cannot imagine how difficult that would be on a moving ship.

[James A. Garamone @GaramoneDODNews]

@RadioFreeTom I'm jealous.

Adversaries, beware!

1st Battalion, 67th Armored Regiment, is trained and lethal! This past week, the Berserker's infantry company dismounted from their Bradley’s and honed their tactics at the fire-team level.

Life on the flight deck of the @CVN70 is a symphony of precision and power. Sailors work tirelessly to ensure each mission is executed flawlessly, showcasing the strength of our @USNavy.

New 18 ABC commander, Lt. Gen. Gregory Anderson, conducted his first official visit to Ft. Campbell. Alongside 18 ABC CSM Bryan Barker, they visited with the Division, BDEs, TSAAS and a tour of the post. The visit allows Corps to see what the Screaming Eagles bring to the fight!

@PeteHegseth @SecDef You mean like Lloyd Austin, Jim Mattis, Mark Esper and Chuck Hagel?

[Petr Pavel @prezidentpavel]

Cooperation with democratic states in the Indo-Pacific region is no longer merely a matter of interest but a strategic necessity for Europe and the Czech Republic. Together with New Zealand’s Prime Minister Christopher Luxon, we discussed strengthening partnerships in key areas such as industry, defense, and cybersecurity. We both appreciate that the EU-New Zealand Free Trade Agreement, which came into effect this year, has given a new momentum to our trade relations. I was pleased to hear the Prime Minister’s commitment to further supporting these efforts and striving to double the volume of trade with Europe.

The Philippines has faced six typhoons over the past two months, and Philippine and U.S. personnel have worked together to respond to these disasters.  It was a privilege to meet with some of these U.S. and Filipino troops and diplomatic personnel to thank them for their service.

[Archive: Maj. Gen. Patrick Ryder @PressSecRyder]

.@SecDef's 4th trip to the Philippines as Secretary highlights the significant progress the US has made in deepening this critical alliance.

In meetings with Philippine defense leaders, @SecDef reiterated the US' steadfast commitment to the US-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty.
