The MQ-9A Reaper production line is closed and would take General Atomics two to three years to restart, according to a Congressional Research Service report as the Air Force ramps up its successor timeline amid inventory loss.The service’s Reaper inventory has decreased by more than half from fiscal year 2022 to around 135 aircraft in mid-May this year as the U.S. scaled operations against Iran in Epic Fury. While legislation on the future of the aircraft and its potential replacement has been proposed, Congress must weigh certain questions regarding cost, fleet size and operational capability ahead of approving budget requests.As of this May, the force has maintained 56 combat lines, meaning continuous coverage of a geographic area, with a portion of them being flown by the Air National Guard, the report says. Officials told CRS that 12 Air National Guard units in 11 states still operated the Reaper by mid-2026, with most occurring in remote locations.Recently, a service official stated in congressional testimony that the force could meet all 56 combat lines worldwide despite the largely diminished inventory of 135 aircraft.The Air Force has used the Reaper extensively in Operation Epic Fury, with the Chief of Staff Gen. Kenneth Wilsbach…

The Marine Corps announced several incentives for personnel who are willing to extend their overseas tours by a year or longer, the service said in an administrative message published Monday. Marines who volunteer and are approved can choose between a monetary offer or a pair of separate leave incentives, according to the message, which was meant to clarify Overseas Tour Extension Incentive Program instructions. The financial incentive, according to the service, is $2,000 paid in 12 monthly installments of $166.66, which are taxable unless otherwise subject to an exemption. Marines’ leave options comprise a 30-day period of nonchargeable special rest and recuperative, or SR&R, leave or a nonchargeable SR&R leave period no longer than 15 days but with government-funded round-trip transportation to a port of entry in the contiguous U.S. Marines who extend for 13 months or more may select the latter option and get five extra days of SR&R leave. The leave options must be taken in a “single and continuous” period, according to the memo, and government-funded transportation must be used concurrently with the leave period. The incentives, meanwhile, can only be used by Marines, not dependents, and Marines must complete their initial tour, including previously approved extensions,…

Trump vs. Xi: the confrontation is citizenship. Xi Jinping landed in Washington yesterday for a state visit built as spectacle: tarmac greeting at Joint Base Andrews, White House pageantry, a state dinner, and talks on tariffs, chips, rare earths, and artificial intelligence. The choreography matters less than the two civilizational operating systems sitting across the table. China is not merely bargaining. It is continuing an old project under a new brand. America is not merely hosting. It is being asked, again, whether its founding unit is still the citizen who chooses the Constitution, or the state that administers people. The Chinese word the West usually misses is tianxia — “all under heaven.” It is not a slogan for ports. It is a theory of order: a center radiates civilization outward through ritual, infrastructure, hierarchy, and the claim that harmony is the highest political good. The Belt and Road Initiative is tianxia in steel and fiber. Bridges, railways, 5G, ports, power plants, and digital standards are not neutral plumbing. They are the physical grammar of a worldview in which development flows from the center, loyalty is repaid with access, and political questions are settled by capacity. A port concession in the…

Creel, assigned to the Combined Arms Command Law Enforcement Activity, Special Troops Battalion, at Fort Leavenworth, is facing a court-martial after his child was shot in the head with a rifle. “SPC Peyton Creel is charged with one specification of murder and one specification of involuntary manslaughter for the murder of his infant child on April 28, 2026, at his residence on Fort Leavenworth,” said Michelle McCaskill, the U.S. Army Office of Special Trial Counsel’s Director of Communications, in a Monday email. “The charges are allegations and SPC Creel is presumed innocent unless proven guilty,” she added.Creel will face a court-martial in January 2027.
