The Defense Department is speeding up plans to send the U.S. military’s most sophisticated battle tank to Ukraine as the country braces itself for an expected increase in Russian attacks in the coming weeks, Pentagon officials said Tuesday.

The $350 million security package includes more ammunition for howitzers and rockets for the High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, or HIMARS, as well as shoulder-fired, anti-armor weapons, patrol boats and fuel tankers.

Two Russian pilots who harassed a U.S. drone over the Black Sea this week and caused it to crash into waters near Ukraine will receive military awards for their actions, a top Russian official said Friday.

An experimental military project that will test laser beaming technology has arrived at the International Space Station and will spend a year in orbit, Navy officials said.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin called the encounter that involved two Russian jets “dangerous” and “reckless,” and Army Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, labeled the actions of the Russians as “unprofessional” and “unsafe.” Austin said there is photographic evidence of the incident.

Authorities are investigating the death of a military service member who was found in a vehicle in a Pentagon parking lot.

Gen. David Berger, the commandant of the Marine Corps, said adaptability is one of the service’s most important attributes because it will come up against evolving enemies on future battlefields. Change is a driving force in the Marine Corps’ budget request for hundreds of millions in additional funding in 2024.

The Marine Corps is requesting a budget of more than $50 billion to help speed up plans to modernize and reshape the service to better respond to future conflicts against military powers, such as China.

The Army’s budget request for fiscal 2024 seeks $185 billion that includes funding increases to attract and retain soldiers, stabilize the Indo-Pacific region and procure new weapons, service officials said.

The solid rocket motor, or SRM, is the first of three stages that will power the future missiles and is the largest of the three. The Sentinel will replace Minuteman III ICBMs that have been in the U.S. nuclear arsenal since 1970.

The Army is reaching back for a nostalgic slogan that service leaders believe will help solve modern recruiting troubles — “Be All You Can Be.”

The Pentagon has been unsuccessful in overseeing its financial systems and imposing the necessary guidance to make them fully effective, according to the report.

All four of the U.S. military’s four-star female officers gathered in public for the first time to talk about the sexism that they have experienced in the service and how far women still must go before they’re fully integrated members of the armed forces.

Retired Army Col. Paris Davis received the Medal of Honor nearly 60 years after the retired Green Beret boldly engaged enemy troops and rescued several wounded soldiers amid a bloody fight during the Vietnam War.

Fifty-eight years after retired Army Col. Paris Davis’s acts of heroism on the battlefield, the former Green Beret and Army Ranger is getting the U.S. military’s highest honor for his exemplary leadership and selflessness.
