National Security
How the National Guard can help counter Chinese Influence. Now that the US military is shifting away from two decades of conflict in the Middle East, US policymakers and military leaders are searching for ways to effectively compete with China in an era of renewed great power competition. To compete effectively, the United States needs a program to achieve strategic impact that is also nimble, flexible, and capable of global reach.
How the Ukraine crisis developed, and where it might be headed. Here's a guide to the causes behind a conflict that threatens to become a major military clash, and what's at stake for Russia, the U.S. and NATO.
China Threat
Marine Corps is not moving fast enough to face China, general says. “If anybody thinks we are moving fast enough, you're crazy.”

International Security

U.S.-backed forces in Somalia are now outgunned by Africa's largest terrorist group, raising concerns that a 2021 decision to pull out American troops and curtail airstrikes has helped the militants' insurgency expand, two senior officials said Thursday.
France announces withdrawal of troops from Mali, reshaping the fight against Islamist extremists in West Africa. The departure raises questions about who will fill the security void as extremist attacks surge in Mali and across West Africa.
Niger accepts foreign forces from Mali to combat jihadist threat. Niger has accepted that French and European special forces will cross into its territory from neighboring Mali to combat jihadists and try to secure the border with the West African state, Niger's president said on Twitter on Friday.
Iran Threat

Military and Space
