Pondering future conflict and how we fight. For a new idea, read an old book (Patton). A little global strategy. Armor/cav. A few grins along the way.

T-level checks? That's great.

Hey, question, on troop levels in Europe. We were pulling troops from Germany, then not. Then they're going to Poland. Now, we're doing a 6-month study. Let me know when you figure it out. @RpsAgainstTrump #departmentofwar

JUST IN: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announces the Pentagon will require annual testosterone screenings for all active duty service members age 30 and older, saying the move is intended to improve military readiness.

If a service member is found to have low testosterone, they will be eligible to receive testosterone replacement therapy.

Testosterone screening? That is great.
Meanwhile and how is the Iran War, Straight of Hormuz thing coming? Is it open or closed or are we charging or...I lost track. #departmentofwar #rpsagainsttrump

��� Zelensky has approved new long-range “sanctions” against Russia for June — and called for them to be “creatively developed”

In his evening address, the Ukrainian president praised the effectiveness of long-range strikes on Russian territory in May and hinted that June’s operations would become even more diverse.

What would an #EU, #NATO or even 'Western' response to general #Russian societal collapse look like? Let it happen? Limited response? How would #Belarus factor in? #russiaiscollapsing #russiaUkraineWar #SlavaUkraïni

CENTCOM, let's quit screwing around. I agree with @davidblairdt-we need a plan, executed with a coalition, to open the Strait and hold it open. #IranWar‌ @Lloydslisted

I listened with great interest to Iran-The Latest today, @RolandOliphant @andymilburn8. I hastily sketched this out a couple days ago. We talk some common things Agreed, much more combat power required.

3 PLT sized assaults that gained nothing. Three? We are a long way from days of the #RedArmy when multiple MRRs and MTRs were expected to come crashing through the #FuldaGap. Three platoon sized assaults.... #SlavaUkraïni #ukraine #russiaiscollapsing

[Institute for the Study of War @TheStudyofWar]

NEW: Russian forces conducted four platoon-sized or smaller mechanized and motorized assaults across the theater in the last 48 hours, but these assaults are unlikely to bolster the ongoing Russian spring-summer 2026 offensive.

Additional Key Takeawys:
The Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces (USF) employed an unmanned surface vessel (USV)-launched interceptor drone to intercept a Russian Shahed long-range strike drone for the first time and are creating USF naval drone battalions.

A Russian defense industrial enterprise director criticized how the Russian government’s adopted economic policies have overcooled the Russian economy to the detriment of Russia’s import substitution efforts.

Ukrainian forces recently advanced in the Kostyantynivka direction. Russian forces recently advanced in Kursk Oblast.

Russian forces launched 236 drones against Ukraine. Ukrainian forces struck the Atlant Aero drone development and production plant in Taganrog, Rostov Oblast. (1/2)
