It’s time for leadership.

Every Sailor and Marine needs to know the person next to them and the warriors they lead.

Let’s defeat this enemy within called suicide.

Happy 79th Birthday, @usairforce!

Since 1947, the #AirForce has flown, fought, and won – delivering airpower anytime, anywhere.

From transporting #Marines in the C-17 to providing close air support with A-10s, here’s to many more years of #AirPower.

Their Sacrifice Endures

On National POW/MIA Day, we honor the American service members who were taken as #PrisonersofWar and those who remain #MissinginAction.

We remember their courage.
We honor their sacrifice.
And we reaffirm our commitment to never leave them behind.

Until they are home, they are not forgotten.

#Marines execute a Field User Evaluation (FUE) for the Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) to receive hands-on practical application and testing in Camp Pendleton, CA.

During the event, fleet users learned how to utilize waypoint navigation, deploy targets, verify locations, and finally put the system to the test on the water.

⚓📰 #USNAVY UPDATE: U.S. Navy Awards Three Prototype Agreements to Accelerate LCU 1700 Production and Strengthen Maritime Industrial Base

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Navy has awarded three competitive Prototype Other Transaction (OT) agreements to Conrad Shipyard, LLC of Orange, Texas; Master Boat Builders, Inc. of Coden, Alabama; and Saronic Technologies of Brownsville, Texas, to build Landing Craft, Utility (LCU) 1700 class craft.

“By selecting three distinct shipyards, the Navy is expanding its shipbuilding industrial base capacity and building a resilient “second source” of supply for landing craft,” said William F. Mahan, who is performing the duties of Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research, Development and Acquisition. “Other Transaction prototype authority allows the Navy to move at the speed of relevance.”
