Thank you from Djibouti Africa! We received your care package yesterday. We absolutely love the snacks and sweet treats. The letters were also a major morale boost. We all appreciate the support and all the goodies. We are 24/7 ops and these mean more than can be articulated in emails. God bless.

San Diego, California. (May 19, 2025): The merging of humans and machines has, up until now, been the stuff of science fiction. In the above photo, the Air Force displays a prototype of the YFQ-42A uncrewed fighter, the first creation of its Collaborative Combat Aircraft program. Designed by General Atomics, the YFQ-42A ‘autonomous fighter drone’ will begin readiness and performance evaluations beginning this month.
The drone represents a new generation of unmanned fighters that can operate independently or collaboratively with human pilots. Dubbed the “loyal wingman,” the fighter is designed to operate alongside crewed aircraft to allow human operators to control, coordinate, or supervise their activities. The Air Force envisions the YFQ-42A drone augmenting crewed fighter aircraft such as the F-22 Raptor, F-35 Lightning, and the planned Next Generation Air Dominance fighter for air-to-air missions.

PENTAGON, (March 25, 2025): Service members assigned to Joint Task Force Southern Border have a new directive: conduct patrols.
Until now, the U.S. military mission at the southern border has been static. Service members have been engaged mostly in stationary detection and monitoring activities. But no longer.
On March 20, 2025, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order allowing service members involved in the mission to do more and conduct their mission on foot or on board Stryker armored vehicles.
