As the Navy moves to expand its “No Sailor Lives Afloat” initiative first announced last year, a top leader in personnel policy described the effort as part of a larger push to keep sailors by ensuring their quality-of-life expectations are being met.On Thursday, the service announced it had to date resituated 4,500 sailors who’d been living afloat to shore-based housing, and was working to expand housing access to more troops.While details in the announcement were sparse, officials said Naval Installations Command had identified “several short-term and long-term projects across all major homeports” so unaccompanied sailors would have more access to shore-based berthing. “These efforts include improving conditions in current barracks, bringing additional rooms back online through additional investments, expanding [public-private venture] options, exploring innovative housing solutions, providing temporary lodging when needed and advocating for an increase to the Basic Allowance for Housing,” officials said in a release.BAH, an allowance that’s set across the military and factors in a service member’s location, time in service and dependents, is congressionally supervised and typically updated once per year, in the National Defense Authorization Act. It’s not yet clear what kind of additional augmentation the Navy might ask for to provide ship-based sailors with…

United States President Donald Trump said that he would “love to have China and Russia” join the Board of Peace he instituted as a way to “stabilize” Gaza in the aftermath of the war with Israel. “They’ve been invited. You need both. You need all persuasions. No discrimination,” Trump was quoted as saying while speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Thursday, Moscow suggested that it was considering Trump’s invitation. In January, President Vladimir Putin also floated contributing $1 billion sourced from Russian sovereign assets frozen in the US – the exact fee for a permanent seat – even before a final membership decision was reached. Moscow, however, said it had not yet received a response to the proposal. China has already declined, citing its commitment to “true multilateralism” and the United Nations-centered international system. Trump also claimed that a lot of other countries had already joined the board, and that “we have a lot that are going through the process of getting on.” Trump’s remarks came after the board held its inaugural meeting in Washington, drawing heads of state and senior officials from around 40 countries. Over 20 nations have accepted the American invitation to join the board, with roughly…

When a soldier reads a field manual, they are studying the Army’s guide on how to fight. Now, doctrine writers are using artificial intelligence to update those manuals, the service shared in a press release this week. Leaders at the Combined Army Doctrine Directorate have started training authors on generative AI tools to speed up research and drafting, a move that reflects the military’s broader efforts to quickly push updated guidance to a force facing a rapidly-evolving battlefield. “We have had people ask us about using AI and large language models to speed up the doctrine development process for years,” said Richard Creed Jr., the directorate’s leader. “So, when some of these tools became available, the first thing we did was figure out their capabilities,” he said. Doctrine development has historically been a time consuming and tedious process that stretches years, and officials are looking to speed it up by incorporating AI into the writing process, the Army said. For example, one internally-developed tool lets authors speedily search hundreds of texts for historical examples, transforming a task that may have previously taken days of investigation. Another tool helps writers check grammar and how easy their work is to comprehend, freeing…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! President Donald Trump has reportedly reacted to the Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision that ruled he does not have the authority to levy sweeping tariffs under a specific emergency powers law.A source outside the Trump administration told Fox News that an aide came into the closed-door White House breakfast with governors and handed Trump a note about the Supreme Court ruling.The source said Trump “called it a disgrace, and then he went on with the remarks.”The high court blocked Trump’s tariffs levied under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act in what amounts to a major test of executive branch authority. SUPREME COURT BLOCKS TRUMP TARIFFS IN MAJOR TEST OF EXECUTIVE BRANCH POWERS Some of the Supreme Court’s nine justices will likely be sitting in the audience when the president delivers the State of the Union address on Tuesday.In the opinion, the high court declared, “Our task today is to decide only whether the power to ‘regulate… importation,’ as granted to the President in IEEPA, embraces the power to impose tariffs. It does not.”Trump has made tariffs a key plank of his economic agenda since retaking the Oval Office last year, but his policies have…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Brett Favre believes there has been a change in the NFL’s engagement strategy.The Pro Football Hall of Famer discussed the issue during an appearance on Tomi Lahren’s OutKick show earlier this week, in which Lahren said she felt the NFL changed its approach to the way it appeals to fans “somewhere around Colin Kaepernick.”It was a sentiment that Favre agreed with.  “I think there probably is some truth to that. Why that has changed, I really don’t know,” Favre said. “Because I think your general football audience is people like you and I. Maybe loves football, or maybe is a casual, fair-weather fan, but it is the biggest show in town. So you watch it, you know, you watch the halftime show and who sang the national anthem. You know, that’s been that way for a long time.”But you’re right, you know, in the last maybe 10 years, maybe a little longer, there’s been a slight shift. For whatever reason, I have no idea, because you want to appeal to your true fans. And it doesn’t seem like that is the case anymore.” IMG ACADEMY SET TO PAY NEARLY $2 MILLION IN…

The Defense Department this week began testing for the initial phase of its Drone Dominance Program, an effort to expand the use of commercial drones across the military. Dubbed “the Gauntlet,” military operators will fly and evaluate uncrewed aerial systems, or UASs, at Fort Benning, Georgia, to determine which of the 25 competing vendors will advance to the next phase of the program.However, ahead of the testing, DOD curated a list of commercial drones that meet baseline performance and compliance standards. With the list, officials aim to streamline procurement and encourage military leaders to begin buying and fielding approved systems sooner rather than later. In December, the Defense Contract Management Agency launched the Blue List UAS website, which catalogs 54 drone models cleared, at a minimum, for training use. Of those, 29 also received the “select” label, indicating they passed a competitive review process and are authorized for operational deployment.With so many drone models available and the pace of change accelerating, a central question of what DOD is looking for in a commercial drone remains.Although many observers point to use of expendable drones in the Russia-Ukraine war as motivation behind the program, DOD first established the Blue UAS program in…

In previous instances where we’ve covered GRITR’s products, I was proud to introduce the company as one that successfully caters to the needs of shooters and lovers of the outdoors because those are exactly the kinds of people it employs. This shouldn’t be a surprise, but it’s less commonly encountered than one would expect in this industry. In fact, GRITR’s company headquarters is literally attached to a shooting range. A solid EDC loadout starts with gear you’ll actually use. The GRITR Stealth knife proves that affordable knives can deliver real quality, making it a sound addition to your everyday carry rotation. As GRITR has expanded, much of its attention has been focused on bringing affordable (not cheap) gear to the market that they’d feel comfortable putting into the hands of their shooters and instructors. Often, these are the same people who serve as an informal test crew before GRITR’s products reach the rest of us. The other thing I’ve noticed about GRITR’s line of gear is that they keep their number of SKUs small within any particular category. They don’t have nine pairs of GRITR-branded electronic earmuffs: they have one model. We previously tested GRITR’s compact weapon light (you can…
