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…

An ambi safety can add a lot of functionality to your AR-15. Here we take a look at Aero Precision’s PRO model.The problem with most AR-15 ambidextrous safeties is the tiny little screws holding them together. The even tinier Allen wrenches meant to tighten them are one moment’s oversight from bending to uselessness.On a personal note, the wings of ambi safeties tend to be too big for me, and the offside one interferes with my trigger finger. But that’s my problem. Yours, and ours, is assemblage. Well, Aero has solved the problem.The M4E1 Pro ambi safety selector kit comes with…

American self-propelled artillery in World War II transformed how the United States Army delivered firepower on the battlefield. These tracked vehicles combined mobility with devastating howitzers and guns, keeping pace with advancing armor divisions in ways towed artillery never could. From the M7 Priest’s 105mm howitzer to the massive M43’s 8-inch gun, these weapons shaped combat operations across North Africa, Europe, and the Pacific. An M7 Priest supports American soldiers advancing on Japanese positions during combat on Leyte Island. Image: NARA The story starts with improvisation. When Germany blitzed through France in 1940, American planners saw they needed artillery that could…

This article was originally published by Joshua Mawhorter at The Mises Institute.  When moving away from superficial, cartoonish, and caricatured history, the importance of context and distinctions becomes obvious. Part of the task of responsible history is to show how things are often more complicated than first assumed. The Civil War is an important historical event in which this is evident. Zooming in on just one aspect of the US before the Civil War, it is key to understand the role of the federal legal protections of slavery. While recognizing slavery’s role in secession, and secession as a cause of the war,…

Tier-one shooters worldwide know that speed is nothing more than a byproduct of efficiency, and that accuracy is a byproduct of control. Anyone who earnestly trains to be a better on-demand shooter can attest that developing optimal efficiency and control is not as easy as it sounds. One of the most overlooked training elements of developing such elite shooting skills is self-diagnostics. When it comes to mastering true self-diagnostics, most shooters don’t know what they don’t know. Where do you even start? What do you look for? How do you know exactly what needs to be remediated? How do you…

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — Soldiers of the Army National Guard’s 28th Infantry Division snagged the award for Best Innovation at the U.S. Army’s inaugural Best Drone Warfighter Competition in Huntsville, Alabama, this week for inventing a drone that uses a claw to retrieve downed drones. Project RED, which stands for Recovery Exploitation Drone, is built to fly over and inspect downed unmanned aircraft systems. The system uses artificial intelligence software to discern the difference between friendly and enemy drones. Using a robotic arm with a claw, it can pick up a fallen drone and transport it to troops for evaluation or…

Nearly five years ago, Springfield Armory introduced us to the SA-35 pistol, and it became an immediate “must have” for enthusiasts. It quickly established itself as the best-in-class modern production model of the legendary John Moses Browning P-35 pistol. I was one of the fortunate writers to get an early copy of the gun and test it thoroughly. I purchased my test copy, and have purchased more of them since. Why? Because the SA-35 is much more than just a faithful recreation of a timeless sidearm design — it’s a viable everyday handgun capable of providing reliable and accurate protection…

As this process continues, it would not be right for me to comment further on…
