[Acting Secretary of the Army @SecArmy]

As a third-generation Army veteran, it has been the honor of a lifetime to serve as the Secretary of the Army under President Trump and Secretary Hegseth. Tomorrow is my last full day in the role.

Our Soldiers, Civilians, and their Families are our Nation's very best, and they have inspired me every day. I am sincerely thankful for their service and sacrifice.

I had the privilege of working with them to modernize and accelerate how the Army mans, trains, and equips the most lethal fighting force on the face of the earth. We could not have made the progress we did without the support of Secretary Hegseth.

I am forever grateful to President Trump for the opportunity to once again serve my country.

Dan Driscoll
26th Secretary of the Army

Russian leadership is attempting to mitigate the security vacuum left by the #Wagner Group’s departure by creating formalized but decentralized military “enterprises” on the basis of federal subjects (regions). https://t.co/AVvHgR5O5h

@BA_Friedman UKR lessons learned scream of the need to be dispersed and with high levels of attrition, but yes- let's centralize everything in DIV HQs. If there is a flawed assumption in the new 3-0, it's that.

This is why I can’t watch Guy Ritchie’s stupid fucking “SOF dude saves the day” movie. It was a fucked up situation and real people died. Making a movie where the hero solves all the problems 6 months later doesn’t sit right with me

The latest USMC Journal of Advanced Military Studies (JAMS) is out now digitally (no paywall, link below!) and print orders are also available if you contact their editors on the page. First two articles up are mine and focus on the future of war from the philosophical, strategic, organizational, and technological on how advanced AI and humanity may usher in unprecedented developments... some wonderful, and others terrifying.
