The U.S. Air Force should treat artificial intelligence as a readiness issue across critical career fields, instead of just technical specialists, a public policy institute argues.As warfare continues to be shaped by AI, autonomy and cyber operations, the Department of the Air Force should invest in targeted “just-in-time” training for officer and warrant officer airmen and guardians, according to a Tuesday report published by the RAND Corporation, a nonprofit research institute based in Arlington, Virginia.“In an era of constrained resources, technological fluency may increasingly need to be treated as a core element of warfighter readiness, not a niche skill or one-time educational requirement,” the report reads.The training should focus on AI, data literacy and cyber-enabled operations, according to RAND. The authors argue that the framework could also be applied to enlisted and civilian personnel down the line to offer a force-wide approach to AI integration.A “stackable, scaffolded continuous” training through a certificate model in AI and advanced technologies could be beneficial to officers because it allows for a measurable pathway for technology fluency and tailors training while reducing costs to the department, per the report. Stackable certificates can be incorporated into the department’s existing training and education systems through implementing…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Former “Real Housewives of Orange County” star Kelly Dodd claimed that Bravo host Andy Cohen was “full of s—” Tuesday after he defended the inclusion of “MAGA women” on the show.Dodd spoke to Fox News Digital after the “Watch What Happens Live” host was asked on Threads why there were “so many MAGA women” on the series, particularly the “Orange County” season.”If we didn’t showcase people with different POV’s there would be no show. Also it’s a show about the women and their relationships, not about politics,” Cohen wrote on Sunday.KELLY DODD FIRES BACK AT CANCEL CULTURE, SAYS SHE’S TREATED LIKE ‘AN OUTCAST’ IN HOLLYWOOD Dodd called out this comment, claiming that Cohen and Bravo did not care for conservative perspectives on the show before and have since become concerned only about ratings.”They’re making excuses that they need points of views when I don’t think that’s true,” Dodd said, adding, “He doesn’t have different points of view. I think he’s full of s—.”Dodd pointed to Cohen’s past comments attacking conservatives and right-leaning perspectives and viewed his Threads comment, and the show welcoming different types of women, as disingenuous.”I think that he sees that the…

President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he secretly switched planes in Turkey last month at the direction of the Secret Service, but that the plane he ultimately flew on was still more vulnerable than Air Force One.Following a NATO summit in Ankara, Trump was transferred from Air Force One to a military plane via a catering truck in an extraordinary deception prompted by an Iranian assassination threat, U.S. media reported.The White House did not disclose the change, and it remained a secret until The Washington Post first reported it on Monday. Some media commentators questioned whether the operation left Trump’s aides and journalists traveling with him at risk aboard the plane presumed to be carrying the president.“I think actually the plane that I flew on was at greater risk,” Trump told reporters on Tuesday. “I think it was at greater risk because that would be the plane I think that they would be more likely to go for.”Trump was accompanied by several close aides when he secretly transferred from Air Force One to a smaller military aircraft in Turkey last month, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday.A catering truck is parked next to Air Force One before President Donald Trump’s…

Editor’s Note: Firearms and self-defense laws vary widely by jurisdiction. Readers are responsible for understanding the federal, state, and local laws that apply to them. This article is provided for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional instruction. For self-defense training, consult a qualified firearms instructor. These days, carrying a defensive pistol with you every day is a major driver of American gun culture. A 2021 study by the National Shooting Sports Foundation showed that personal protection and home defense was the reason why people were purchasing a gun, and that trend shows no signs of slowing down. Dedicated, intensive practice is an essential part of the journey. Make sure your range time is helping you improve your marksmanship. In many cases, just having a pistol with you when it’s needed will be enough to tip the odds in your favor. Another study from 2021 showed that in 81.9 percent of encounters between violent criminal actors and armed citizens, all the armed citizen needed to do to come out on top was deploy their firearm in a timely manner. Not send rounds downrange, just show the bad guy that they are willing and able to take things…

A new $3.4 million Pentagon grant to two universities aims to help solve the thorny problem of military recruits getting sidelined with stress fractures.The grant, which covers four years, was awarded to Rosalind Franklin University in Illinois and Old Dominion University in Virginia. According to a release from Rosalind Franklin, bone-stress injuries affect up to 8% of military recruits across the services and cost the Department of Defense about $100 million per year in medical expenses alone.“Because suspected stress fractures often require serial clinical visits, radiographs, MRI and bone scans, there is a strong operational and economic incentive to improve early diagnosis and risk stratification,” school staff said in the release.The objective of the grant is to develop a “clinically actionable” test that flags biomarkers in urine, creating a non-invasive way to detect bone-stress injuries in the legs before they lead to fractures and other more severe, sidelining conditions.“[Bone stress injuries] are a major challenge to military readiness,” Shawn Flanagan, director of the Human Performance Laboratory at Rosalind Franklin’s Center for Lower Extremity Ambulatory Research (CLEAR), said in a statement. “By combining cutting-edge proteomic methods with access to large, well-characterized military cohorts, we aim to create a biomarker panel that…
