MoreMarines have less than two months to select a religious affiliation from a newly condensed list of 30 options the service announced Tuesday, as part of a Pentagon-wide overhaul to reduce the number of faith designations. The new list replaces more than 200 affiliation codes that were previously available to service members, grouping many individual identities into expansive categories. The move comes amid sweeping changes to the military’s religious programs and chaplaincy under Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. Marines have until Sep. 30 to update their personnel records to reflect the slimmed-down options, the service said in an administrative message. When the Pentagon announced the overarching changes earlier this year, Sean Parnell, a Pentagon spokesman, said the shift was designed to help chaplains understand the composition of their units, not delegitimize religious beliefs. The Marine Corps’ administrative message addressed the intention Parnell described, but said: “as a result of this change, some previously authorized faith and belief designations are no longer individually represented and have been consolidated into broader religious affiliation categories.”Marines are instructed to choose “the most appropriate” identity when making their selection. This is not the only recent change to the military’s approach to faith and chaplaincy under…

MANILA, Philippines — A senior Pentagon official pushed back against reports that the U.S. military’s stockpiles and capabilities are strained following Operation Epic Fury, while reaffirming Washington’s commitment to the Indo-Pacific amid China’s increasingly assertive military activity in the South China Sea.Department of War Undersecretary for Policy Elbridge Colby made the remarks in Manila on Monday amid growing concerns that China has been narrowing the gap — or eclipsing — U.S. military capabilities, as its demands in the Middle East have potentially drained stockpiles.“There’s been a lot of news about the United States military being stretched. Please don’t be misinformed,” Colby told Manila’s defense and security elites at a closed-door event organized by the Stratbase Institute think tank.“The United States military, and especially including those [maritime and aerospace] capabilities, are ready and capable of filling the priority missions that the president has given to them,” Colby said.Colby, one of the Pentagon’s leading strategists, has pushed to prioritize the Indo-Pacific and East Asia over the Middle East and Europe.

Benchmade has brought their recently released manual folder the Lowden into the Gold Class for the first time. This highly limited version of the Lowden ramps up the detail work and turns the design into something worth of being put on the display shelf. The Lowden made its first appearance in Benchmade’s 2025 catalog at the beginning of 2025 – but at that time it had no name, and no actual physical prototype. Needless to say, the unusual circumstances really heightened interest in the piece, so that by the time it actually dropped last August, the knife community was ready. The knife took visual cues from traditional switchblade design, but implemented them in a fully modern, EDC-friendly package, which allowed it to occupy its own little niche within the Benchmade catalog. The brass component has been polished so that it really pops A little less than a year later and the Lowden is being inaugurated into the Gold Class. The most striking element here is the handle, which, unlike the one on the standard Lowden, is skeletonized, with two fuller-like cutouts on each handle scale. Furthermore, it’s made not from aluminum, but titanium with carbon fiber inlays and a brass…

The U.S. Air Force has cleared its first Collaborative Combat Aircraft to enter production, awarding contracts to General Atomics Aeronautical Systems and Anduril Industries. Six companies will compete on the autonomous software that will fly them.The Air Force made the announcement Wednesday, saying it reached the decision four months ahead of schedule. The contracts went to General Atomics for its FQ-42A and Anduril for its FQ-44A, as part of CCA Increment 1.The two aircraft were previously designated the YFQ-42A and YFQ-44A. Dropping the Y prefix signals their shift from prototype to production.Often referred to as “loyal wingmen,” CCA are jet-powered, semi-autonomous unmanned aircraft built to fly alongside crewed fighters such as the F-35 and the planned F-47, extending their sensors and weapons while taking on risk that would otherwise fall to pilots. “Collaborative Combat Aircraft change how we project power and generate mass in highly contested environments,” Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Ken Wilsbach said in the release. “Delivering this capability to our warfighters faster ensures our forces maintain the tactical edge required to deter and, if necessary, defeat any adversary.”The Air Force is committing to a large CCA fleet, though it won’t happen all at once.
