Their service didn’t end when they took off the uniform. 🇺🇸

This #VeteransDay, NRL honors the veterans in our workforce who continue serving our nation through scientific discovery and innovation.

Thank you to all who have served. #USNavy

[Department of War 🇺🇸 @DeptofWar]

Twenty-five years ago, evil attacked our homeland.

Nearly 3,000 Americans never made it home. Firefighters, police officers, first responders, service members, and ordinary Americans answered the call with extraordinary courage.

We honor their lives. We remember their sacrifice. We will never forget.

God bless the fallen, their families, and the United States of America.

⚓📰 #USNAVY UPDATE: RIMPAC 2026 comes to a successful conclusion

JOINT BASE PEARL HARBOR-HICKAM, Hawaii – The biennial Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) exercise, the world’s largest combined and joint maritime exercise successfully concluded, July 31.

RIMPAC 2026, the 30th iteration of the exercise, began June 24 and brought together 30 nations, more than 30,000 personnel, 30 surface ships, five submarines, and more than 197 aircraft under the theme, Partners: Integrated and Prepared. Throughout five weeks of realistic training, participating forces enhanced combined and joint interoperability, strengthened readiness, and reinforced the partnerships that support maritime security across the Indo-Pacific

“No single nation can ensure security in the Pacific alone,” said U.S. Navy Vice Adm. Jeff Jablon, Commander, RIMPAC 2026 Combined Task Force. “The global maritime environment is too large and too complex for any one country to safeguard by itself. RIMPAC gives us the chance to build the trust and relationships that make us stronger long before any crisis happens.”

🚀#MRV_MILESTONE: The wait is over! Both of MRV’s robotic arms have been unlocked and are gearing up for on-orbit testing and calibration.🤖✨

Why locked? To survive the intense launch environment, the arms stayed secured — but now it’s time to stretch out in space!🌌

Stay tuned for more updates as MRV gets moving!
