Resources for Small Wars

Small Wars Journal:

Corporal J. Agg (USMC) of the Quantico Sentry reports Small Wars COE Delivers Search Engine:

"The Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory Wargaming Division has unveiled a totally revamped Small Wars Center of Excellence, a critical online resource for the expeditionary war fighter in the information age."

"With a massive small wars-oriented search engine as its centerpiece, the Small Wars Center of Excellence prepares service members, both forward-deployed and in garrison, for today's expeditionary warfare. The utility of the Small Wars COE is found in its network of programs and informational resources including cultural intelligence seminars and conferences, academic papers, after action reports, lessons learned, and key insights and observations from current operations. These combined resources provide a forum of information for understanding the history, nature and challenges presented by the Marine Corps' involvement in small wars, exploring innovative small wars tactics, techniques and procedures and evaluating small wars policy, strategy, doctrine and key programs."

"From its infancy as the Operations Other Than War Center of Excellence in 1999, when it provided limited information by request only, the Small Wars COE has exploded into the most hit research link for small wars on the Google search engine today, and is a major planning tool for small wars events. The Small Wars COE continues to expand with near real-time contributions from service members in the fight, and in the past three months alone has added more than 100 student papers and research documents, 170-plus small wars links each with multiple files, another 600 research links for regional country studies and about 40 cultural intelligence briefs."

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
