The Navy failed to identify and treat special warfare personnel who exhibited symptoms of a traumatic brain injury, a government watchdog found.The Defense Department Inspector General published a report Wednesday that criticized Naval Special Warfare Command for relying on an evaluation system that fell prey to a lack of oversight and compliance.“The Naval Special Warfare Command did not consistently implement Do[D] and Naval Special Warfare Group Four (NSWG-4) policies regarding the identification, clinical evaluation, and subsequent care of SWCCs presenting symptoms of TBI,” the report found.The Defense Department defines a traumatic brain injury as one that disrupts brain function as a result of external force.The indications of TBI are identified through changes in mental function, including confusion and slower processing; memory loss; and dips in consciousness.Navy special warfare personnel are required to fill out a mild TBI and Exposure Report form after returning from being away at sea and report any symptoms they’ve experienced that may be related to TBI.If that person reports or displays symptoms indicative of a concussion, medical personnel perform an evaluation and screening called a Military Acute Concussion Evaluation, Version 2, to try to diagnose a concussion and a TBI.But the Defense Department Inspector General found…

The Marine Corps met its fiscal year 2026 recruitment goal with over 31,000 enlisted Marines, thanks to a high volume of interested applicants and strong retention.According to a recent release, the Corps brought in 31,250 new recruits, along with 1,672 officers and 3,503 prior-service reserve Marines, in what the service calls a “historic, department-wide rebound.”“Our success this year is a testament to the disciplined execution of our elite recruiting force on the streets of America,” Commanding General of the Marine Corps Recruiting Command Maj. Gen. Walker M. Field said in the release.“Likewise, it is emblematic of the legion of young Americans who are choosing, of their own volition, to serve this great Nation of ours,” he continued. “The few young Americans who earn the title of Marine espouse the rare trifecta of physical, intellectual, and moral fortitude to become elite warriors.”The service emphasized that while recruiting is “challenging,” fiscal 2026’s environment was the most favorable the Corps has operated in the past five years, partly because of the country’s 250th birthday.

Veterans seeking information about federal food assistance may encounter outdated eligibility guidelines from the Agriculture Department, according to a new Government Accountability Office report.The Agriculture Department’s SNAP eligibility information did not accurately reflect changes affecting veterans and the program’s time-limited participation rules as of September 2026, according to a new Government Accountability Office report. GAO also found that veterans face misconceptions and other barriers to applying for benefits and recommended that USDA update its information and develop outreach materials specifically for veterans.The issue centers on SNAP’s three-month time limit for certain able-bodied adults without dependents who do not meet work requirements. Veterans were among the groups exempt from that time limit from September 2023 through July 2025. A 2025 law removed the categorical veteran exemption, meaning veterans can now be subject to the time limit unless they qualify for another exception. GAO found that USDA’s eligibility website had not been updated to reflect the change as of September 2026.Stakeholders told GAO that some veterans believe their VA benefits make them ineligible, that applying would take benefits away from someone else or that the application process is too difficult. They also cited problems with technology, documentation, communication and completing required interviews.“I…
