The U.S. Space Force officially activated a service component in special operations, with the guardians to serve alongside other branches’ units. Space Forces Special Operations Command, or SPACEFOR-SOC, was activated Monday as an element of U.S. Special Operations Command. The service component, headquartered at MacDill Air Force Base, Florida, aligns specialized forces to Theater Special Operations Commands and Joint Task Forces across the globe, according to a Monday release. “The Guardians of SPACEFOR-SOC are shaping how our special operations leaders see the world through the space domain lens, bringing critical, cutting-edge space expertise directly to the combatant command headquarters,” Chief of Space Operations Gen. Douglas Schiess said in the announcement. “When special operators go into harm’s way, they do so with the confidence that the Space Force is securing the ultimate high ground to enable the Joint fight.” SPACEFOR-SOC, commanded by Col. Peter “Charlie” Norsky, will serve as the established Space Force unit to USSOCOM, alongside Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps special operations components. SPACEFOR-SOC, which took administrative effect in early October, is the first new service component in USSOCOM since 2006. Although USSOCOM missions already include space capabilities, activating SPACEFOR-SOC standardizes how the service organizes, trains and…

In the 1970 film Patton, the legendary U.S. Army General George S. Patton is seen arriving in North Africa to command the Second Armor Division. Moroccan troops are lined up holding a unique-looking weapon. It is an anachronism – one of many in the Oscar-winning film – and a reminder that there was a time when audiences didn’t catch such minor details. Those troops are holding the MAT-49 submachine gun, even though the scene is set in 1943, more than five years before development even began on the firearm. A French paratrooper is photographed with a MAT-49 submachine gun during NATO training near Pau in southwestern France. Image: NARAIt has been speculated that it was likely intended as a stand-in for the period-correct MAS-38, although that weapon wasn’t produced in such significant numbers that the Moroccan troops would have been issued with it. The more likely answer is that following its independence, the MAT-49 was part of French military assistance to its former North African colony, and no one bothered to consider that it wasn’t correct to the period.Morocco was also one of more than two dozen nations – most former French colonies – that adopted the MAT-49 and continued to…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Luigi Mangione’s lawyers are doubling down on their double jeopardy defense in their fight to have the admitted assassin spared from New York murder charges after admitting to what they say was essentially the same crime in federal court.Murder is the same evil as stalking with intent to kill — and then killing, they argued.The claims came in response to Manhattan prosecutors who have asked a New York judge to reject his bid to drop his state-level charges following a federal guilty plea in which he admitted to assassinating UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, a 50-year-old father of two who Mangione shot in the back outside a Hilton hotel in the middle of the Big Apple.BRAVE WIDOW OF SLAIN UNITEDHEALTHCARE CEO BRIAN THOMPSON COMES FACE TO FACE WITH LUIGI MANGIONE FOR FIRST TIME Prosecutors have said that since Mangione was not prosecuted for federal firearms offenses, there is no double jeopardy if the state level ones remain on the table. They argued that the murder charges should still go forward because although Mangione admitted to killing Thompson, that’s not the same “harm or evil” involved in the federal stalking charges. And they argued…

When Sweden and Finland applied to join NATO in May 2022, it was hailed as the Baltic Sea’s transformation into “a NATO lake.” Since then, however, the sea has been less than placid, as confrontations with Russia and interference with undersea infrastructure have raised tensions to new heights. Sweden, Finland, and their allies now face a challenge in countering Russian behavior without stoking tensions further. “It’s a very difficult question, because you don’t want to escalate,” Maj. Gen. Peter Boysen, chief of the Danish army, said at the Association of the U.S. Army annual conference in Washington, D.C., in mid-October. The Baltic has long been a site for hybrid warfare — a broad term for malign activity below the threshold of war that is often hard to attribute, like disinformation, sabotage, cyberattacks and territorial violations — but the scale of that activity has increased since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, creating what Dutch military intelligence earlier this year called “a real risk of unintended and therefore difficult-to-control escalation.” One of the highest-profile cases was the Nord Stream pipeline attack in September 2022. Since then, other pipelines and cables in the Baltic have been damaged in what Western officials often label…

A record number of veterans are running for Congress this year, including many female and independent candidates.  According to the group With Honor Action, 258 military veterans are on the ballot this election, including 227 running for the House and 31 for the Senate. The figure is up from 213 in 2024 — a 21% increase — and 195 in the last mid-term election in 2022.  More than 750 veterans ran in the primaries, a 47% increase from 2024.  Veterans currently hold roughly one in five seats in Congress.  With Honor Action supports veteran candidates across the political spectrum, according to Rye Barcott, a former Marine Corps officer who cofounded With Honor Action and serves as its chief executive officer.  “Every one of these candidates has already sworn an oath to the Constitution,” said Barcott in a statement. “Now they’re asking voters to let them keep serving. More of them are women, and they come from across the political spectrum. What they share is the habit of putting the mission first. Congress needs more of it.”  Of the veterans, 115 are Republicans, 80 are Democrats, and 63 are independents or third-party members. Thirty-eight women — 21 Democrats, eight Republicans and…

Your home is your fortress, and it is your first and most important line of defense against anyone who intends to do you harm. In the current world, locked doors and perhaps a home security system is more than enough to deter most burglars. However, disaster breeds desperation, and once the SHTF, many people will be willing to work a lot harder to enter a home if they think there is anything worth stealing inside. Before disaster strikes, it’s important to have a plan in place for how to fortify your home in order to protect against burglars and looters. In this article, we’ll look at 15 things that you can do to fortify your home before all hell breaks loose. Want to save this post for later? Click Here to Pin It On Pinterest! 1. Reinforce Your Doors Points of entry are obviously the weakest links in a home’s security and therefore must be thoroughly fortified. The unfortunate reality is that a single knob lock is not enough to deter a determined intruder for more than a couple of minutes. A strike or two to the doorknob with a hammer is all it takes to render this type of…

Free-throw shooting is the simplest part of the game of basketball to understand but the act itself comes easy for some and nearly impossible for others – just ask Shaquille O’Neal.The technique taught at basketball camps back in my day was the B.E.E.F method. Balance, eyes, elbow, follow-through. As you get further in your basketball career, a coach may tell you to pick a spot at the center of the free-throw line and line it up with the center of the backboard. Sure, the pressure mounts, your hands get sweaty and things can go awry.
