The Marine Corps is fielding tracked robots that crawl the seabed, transit the surf zone, and hunt mines and unexploded ordnance on the beach itself. The Bayonet Autonomous Underwater Ground Vehicles give explosive ordnance disposal teams a way to survey and clear the most dangerous stretch of the approach without first putting Marines in the water. Recent awards to Greensea IQ cover Bayonet 250 systems under the Littoral Explosive Ordnance Neutralization, or LEON, family of systems. The contract forms part of the service’s effort to place unmanned platforms into high-risk roles that once required divers or dismounted teams. Bayonet 250…

Water is a basic human need and key to survival. Methods to gather, store, and sanitize water are all important, but knowing how much water you may need is important as well. Water is heavy and takes up a lot of space when it is stored, so knowing exactly how much you need can help you plan for preparedness.That’s why we’re going over the gear that can help you store, filter, and sanitize water, as well as sharing a calculator (and the general math behind it) that will help you store the correct amount of water based on your needs…
Christmas is around the corner, and plenty of companies that sell prepping supplies and survival gear are running countdown sales leading up to it. They approach it differently- a few move the 12 days further out to account for shipping, if they do most of their business online. Either way, the winter sales are a good opportunity to get those last-minute gifts, use up FSA funds, or round out a survival kit before 2026 gets here.For the most part, the deals are on emergency food storage and tactical gear. They are usually flash sales on specific gear or supplies, designed…
The death of TikTok was exaggerated, and it continues to grow (under American ownership, now) beyond its dance-clip roots. Preppers are everywhere, and one of the main hallmarks of preparedness is information sharing, so it makes sense that TikTok has become a platform with thousands of preppers sharing videos.Some creators promote preparedness products, others share practical prepping advice, and even more do both. There are preppers out there sharing videos with their tens of followers, but the best accounts are resonating with hundreds of thousands. We’ll share more about TikTok preppers and the top 10 accounts to follow below. Contents…

Jefferson Kelley wants his son home and is willing to trade places with the Navy sailor. Kelley, of Cincinatti, Ohio, wrote a letter Aug. 13 addressed to Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) that includes a rather unique proposal: He wants to switch spots with his son, Jackson, 20, due to ongoing reported conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln that has exceeded 250 days of deployment. He calls it a “parent swap.” The vessel has drawn widespread attention in recent days due to various reports regarding limited food rations, safety concerns, water contamination and poor mental health, which has purportedly led to…

The Air Force has a vision for the future of aerial warfare. Instead of flying solo, pilots could enter combat accompanied by several drone partners, carrying a variety of weapons, sensors, and electronic systems. Turning these aircraft into effective wingmen goes beyond reliable autonomy. The Air Force must first determine how pilots can use these effectively in battle, and how costly mistakes can be. From Test Range to Realistic Operations A recent exercise at Creech Air Force Base, Nevada, offered the service another opportunity to work through these challenges. The service’s Collaborative Combat Aircraft Experimental Operations Unit operated semiautonomous aircraft…

In the spring of 1968, six young Black soldiers were preparing to go to Vietnam when the country seemed to be coming apart around them. Ed Emanuel, Thad Givens, Lawton Mackey Jr., Willie Brown, John Willis and Norman Reid were in basic training when Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated. Two months later, while flying to Vietnam, they learned that Robert F. Kennedy had been killed. Soon they would become Team 2/6 of Company F, 51st Infantry, a six-man Army long-range reconnaissance patrol that became known as the “Soul Patrol.” Nearly six decades later, their story is headed to movie…
For some surviving military spouses, getting married again can come with a price few Americans likely realize exists: losing benefits tied to the service and death of their first spouse. A proposal before Congress could change that for tens of thousands of military survivors. Approximately 50,000 surviving spouses under age 55 currently receive Department of Veterans Affairs Dependency and Indemnity Compensation and could retain those benefits if they remarry under the Love Lives On Act, according to the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors, or TAPS. And the legislation wouldn’t only protect benefits going forward. The Congressional Budget Office estimates 4,750…
Toyota Land Cruisers are awesome. Every generation dating back to the FJ40 has something unique to offer off-roaders, but no generation inspires as much love or as many legends about reliability (at least in the U.S.) as the 80-series. This mythos has helped to keep prices high in the past few years, and now, with the Mecum auctions in Monterey, Calif., set to kick off on Saturday, we may see the highest sale price for an 80-series yet. Why? Because a very special — if unassuming — 80-series is going up for auction. Dressed in Super White (aka appliance white),…
