USS Tripoli Amphibious Ready Group and the 31st MEU have arrived in the CENTCOM AO. They arrived yesterday, which was just luck on our part that we also released this video yesterday on what a MEU brings to a fight. The short answer is a lot, the long answer gets into Stand in Forces, EABO, and what the Marines have been preparing for under Force Design 2030 changes.
Here's our story on the arrival: taskandpurpose.com/news/uss-tripoli-marines-middle…

The Navy put out an RFP for a Vessel Construction Manager in its quest to speed up the acquisition of the McClung-Class Medium Landing Ship.
The LSM is a big piece of the Marines' plans for a potential fight in the Pacific so this is pretty essential. Here is a video we did on the ship: https://youtu.be/ZWOmQPbEgtg

News that the Pentagon was entering into agreements to build and buy thousands of more missiles a year kind of went unnoticed, but this is a big deal.
In our latest video, we break down what this missile production ramp looks like, why this is absolutely essential right now, and what new munitions are helping take the load off some of the old guards like the SM-6.

If anybody out there reads, I'm gonna start sharing some of the books I get through that are relevant to this channel.
Finished this the other night. A pretty good primer on the US intelligence community. I read it because I genuinely didn't know much about the IC, and a lot of my thoughts about it were biased toward disdain and, honestly, mostly uninformed. I'm still biased toward disdain, but not I'm at least a little better informed.
If you're looking for something that is easy to read that gives a pretty good overall view of this topic, you'll probably enjoy this.
