CSBA’s Travis Sharp, Chris Bassler, and @TylerHacker15 argue in @DefenseOne that a focus on networked force packages, rather than individual weapons, enhances U.S. advantages in #strategiccompetition, improves system performance, and saves money.

The period of the "Phoney War" during 1939-1940 would have been absolutely insufferable had Twitter existed.

This face is pretty much most of NATO's land component soldiers when - correctly - they are told they are moving to the Eastern Front.
#NATO SecGen @jensstoltenberg: In uncertain times it is “even more important that we stand together... We demonstrated that in the Cold War, the Balkans & 9/11 and we’re demonstrating that now with the aggressive actions of #Russia against #Ukraine” ft.com/content/5cd8a8…

It is an impressive display of logistics capability that within a month the Russian Land Forces moved around 60% of the Eastern Military District's combat potential to Belarus.

As everyone is focused on Europe again, I would just like to remind everyone that we never replaced the M110 8-inch self-propelled howitzer.

Here are the glorious monsters from REFORGER 1984.

The one thing I have not seen discussed with the impending major Russian invasion of Ukraine is the affects on world food security.

This USDA prediction of Oct 2021 will not come true.

China's economic plan these days reads like a massive security plan. Food security. Energy security. Raw materials security. Supply chain security. Data and tech security. Behind the security obsession is a fundamentally changed relationship w/US wsj.com/articles/china… via @WSJ

Controversial view, but it's from humble equipment such as dedicate trench / tank ditch digging, or mine laying machinery, and others, that you see how much an army believes it will at some point fight a "real", nasty state-on-state war.
Wargamed these recently, more efficient that using two vehicles and T-push method, but only one use, whereas AEVs and plant have many other uses for a small Army.

The 2022 defence budget of #Estonia will increase by 16% and equate to 2.3% of GDP. It includes payments related to the procurement of coastal defence missile systems, naval mines, mortars, Carl-Gustaf M4 anti-tank weapons and large-calibre ammunition for the land forces.

What caused all the supply chain bottlenecks? Modern finance with its obsession with "Return on Equity."
