Great subject. Some countries claim to be our friends while implementing policies that harm the U.S. and exploit American citizens. True allies don’t act that way. It’s time to take action with a long-term strategic plan. Short-sighted decisions are putting our country at risk—we need leadership that prioritizes America’s future.
The EU got caught RED-HANDED funding anti-Jones Act propaganda. Now Congress is demanding answers. 🚨👀 Julio Rivera & Sara Fuentes lay it all out. Watch & share!

Welcome home USS St. Louis! 🥳👏🎉 📍 NAVAL STATION MAYPORT, Fla. -- USS St. Louis (LCS 19), a Freedom-variant Littoral Combat Ship (LCS), returned to Naval Station Mayport this week, concluding its maiden deployment to the U.S. Fourth Fleet Area of Responsibility (AOR). The eight-month deployment, which lasted from June 15, 2024 to February 24, 2025, marked a series of groundbreaking achievements that underscore the capabilities of the LCS platform and its growing contributions to naval operations. While assigned to TASK FORCE 45/Destroyer Squadron 40, operating primarily in the Caribbean Sea and Eastern Pacific Ocean, St. Louis, embarked Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron (HSM) 50 Detachment 4, and U.S. Coast Guard Law Enforcement Detachments (LEDET) 105 and 407, disrupted and confiscated over $100 million worth of illicit contraband in five different operations, significantly hampering the activities of transnational criminal organizations. “From our first week in theater, the crew demonstrated its tactical acumen in locating and intercepting illicit traffickers. Most of these interdictions were conducted at night, requiring long days and late hours but the crew stayed immensely resilient. I am very proud of what the team accomplished,” said Cmdr. T.J. Orth, USS St. Louis’ Commanding Officer. In August, St. Louis transited the Panama Canal and operated in the Pacific Ocean for the first time, making history as the first FRE-variant LCS to travel as far south as Valparaíso, Chile when she participated in the 65th iteration of UNITAS, the world’s longest-running multinational maritime exercise. Alongside naval forces from 44 countries, the ship showcased its capabilities in maritime interoperability, enhancing ties with partner nations and furthering regional stability. After returning through the Panama Canal, St. Louis received new tasking to support U.S. Southern Command’s Joint Task Force-Bravo as that command responded to the deteriorating security situation in Haiti. St. Louis served as a fueling station and Search and Rescue force for 1st Battalion, 228th Aviation Regiment (AVN REGT) UH-60 Blackhawks conducting evacuations out of Haiti. To prepare, St. Louis and 1-228th AVN REGT conducted more than 50 deck landings. This successful integration expanded the ship’s operational versatility, paved the way for future joint missions, and underscored the potential for cross-branch collaboration in dynamic environments. To wrap up USS St. Louis’ maiden deployment, St. Louis Sailors showed their flexibility and capacity to rapidly deploy in support of Joint Task Force Operation Southern Guard onboard U.S. Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Sailors supported the expansion of the Maritime Operations Center (MOC) in preparing the MOC to receive up to 2,000 illegal aliens, erecting 50 tents and setting up several hundred cots in several days.

Yesterday I ran my #Marines through PT with #chess integration. The goal was to #physically challenge my #Marines, test their #cognitive capacity under duress, and simultaneously teach them principles of #ManeuverWarfare and #operational art. In short, each company competed against the other. Each company had a dedicated lane in a PT circuit course. At the end of the course were a series of chess boards, with companies designated as white or black at each board. The kick is this - in normal chess, you take turns. Here, you can make moves as rapidly as you can get a competitor from your company through the lane. So if you can get two people to a board before your opponent, you get to move twice before they move once. For another kick, there were enough boards such that each company had two boards on which they were playing - each company had a board where they played as white, and a board where they played as black. So the added challenge is - which board do you move at? Do you 'mass fires' on a single objective, or distribute your forces? And how do you make these choices while under a time constraint where your opponent is looking to out-cycle you? How can you out-cycle your opponent within these limitations? In essence, the #Marines were challenged to literally outmaneuver one another in both physical and cognitive domains. There were additional nuances to the rules, and additional applications of operational art that were sussed out as a result in the following discussion. I'll aim to write about this event, and the basic approach to designing a training event like this, at more length via a different medium. But I hope this serves as an example and a template for other units to use in training their people. #ThinkFightWin #UPDATE: After receiving many individual requests for the documents, I've uploaded them to a shared drive for easy download. If you'd like a copy, please go here directly and download them at your convenience. I hope these helps and good luck! https://lnkd.in/eSGbNGRd #UPDATE #2: The good folks over at U.S. Naval Institute #Proceedings saw fit to publish an article I wrote capturing this idea more formally - check it out here: https://lnkd.in/eAuXir_Q
