Revolutionary War Soldiers Receive Final Burial in New York After 250 Years

Revolutionary War Soldiers Receive Final Burial in New York After 250 Years

More than 40 Revolutionary War soldiers, whose remains were discovered in 2019, have been laid to rest with full military honors at Lake George Battlefield Park in New York. These soldiers, mostly young recruits in their teens and twenties, are believed to have died at a makeshift smallpox hospital during the Revolutionary War. The remains were unearthed during construction work and have since been analyzed by scientists to learn about their lives and deaths. The burial took place over Memorial Day weekend, with a solemn procession from the New York State Museum to the new Repose of the Fallen memorial in Lake George. This event marks a significant moment of remembrance as the nation approaches the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution.

U.S. Special Operations Command Seeks Advanced AI Tools for Tactical Edge

U.S. Special Operations Command Seeks Advanced AI Tools for Tactical Edge

During the SOF Week 2026 event in Tampa, Florida, U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) officials highlighted the need for advanced AI tools that can operate effectively in remote locations. Current AI tools typically rely on cloud computing, which requires connectivity to large data centers. However, SOCOM is exploring 'fog computing' to bring the power of cloud computing closer to the tactical edge, where data is collected and used. This approach aims to enhance decision-making speed and efficiency in disconnected environments. SOCOM is also interested in AI models that require less computing power while maintaining the ability to understand human intent with minimal instruction. The focus is on developing AI tools that simplify operations, such as coordinating drone activities and executing missions with voice or gesture commands.

US Military Tests Counter-Drone Technology at Southern Border Amid Cartel Threats

US Military Tests Counter-Drone Technology at Southern Border Amid Cartel Threats

The US military is utilizing the southern border as a testing ground for counter-drone technology in response to increasing cartel surveillance flights. This initiative is part of a broader effort to address the proliferation of inexpensive drone technologies that have transformed warfare globally. General Gregory Guillot, commander of US Northern Command, highlighted the operational challenges posed by cartel drones during a panel discussion at the SOF Week conference in Tampa, Florida. The military is deploying various counter-UAS systems along the border to evaluate their effectiveness in real-world conditions. This testing is crucial as current solutions are inadequate for reliably combating multiple drones or protecting mobile troops. The initiative follows incidents where US service members were killed by drone strikes in the Middle East, underscoring the urgent need for improved defenses.

Space Force Urged to Prepare for Potential Lunar Conflict with China

Space Force Urged to Prepare for Potential Lunar Conflict with China

A new report from the Mitchell Institute calls for the U.S. Space Force to prepare for potential conflicts on the moon with China. The report suggests that the Space Force should develop a human spaceflight program and redefine federal orders to counter China's military-focused space initiatives. China's plans to send Taikonauts to the moon by 2030 are seen as a potential threat to U.S. interests in space. The report argues for increased funding from Congress to support these initiatives and emphasizes the need for partnerships with NASA and commercial space companies to enhance U.S. space capabilities.
