FORT BENNING, Ga. — As small unmanned aircraft systems, sUAS, become a defining feature of the modern battlefield, the Maneuver Center of Excellence is ensuring every new Soldier has a high-tech edge.

Using Virtual Battle Space 4 software and the Virtual Drone Collective Trainer plug-in, Infantry and Armor trainees master flight mechanics before stepping onto a live flight line. The 12-lane curriculum, modeled after the 75th Ranger Regiment’s Ranger Robotics Lethality Course, is designed to take a Soldier from basic “buttonology”…

“It’s a group mindset out here,” can be heard from the passenger side of a dusty off-highway vehicle roaring down a desert trail. Among the towering Saguaro cacti, leathery-leafed Jojoba shrubs, and pungent creosote bushes, two off-highway vehicle (OHV) enthusiasts talk shop in a side-by-side on a straightaway section of Arizona’s Boulders OHV Trail. Their goal? Highlighting the importance of courteous, safe, and informed off-highway driving … and having a little fun exploring Arizona in the process. Nick Olson takes his Chupacabra Off Road OHV on the trail; (photo/AZGFD) Meet the driver: off-highway expert, Nick Olson, who has coupled his…

Boker whipped up something special for stiletto-heads this, with the incoming – although none-too-creatively-titled – Stiletto 3.5, an homage to historical examples of the form produced with modern materials chosen from the Boker Plus suite. You might think that, given the name, the Stiletto 3.5 has a blade length of 3.5 inches – but that isn’t so. According to the official spec sheet, its blade length is 3.15 inches, but makers measure blade length from different starting points so the name could refer to the blade’s overall size, including the non-edged portions. Either way, the functional designation remains the same…

We stood at the top of a steep slope with tightly spaced trees. “Follow my ski tracks — we need to go either far left or far right near the bottom of this slope. That way, we can avoid cliffs,” my ski partner, Dane Tudor, said. Cliffs? I reached up and used my mitten to press the button on the ear pad of my ski helmet, pausing my music. I was testing the new POC Obex Connect. The sound quality was excellent, and the system was so easy to use that I was now hooked on listening to beats throughout…

Mikaela Shiffrin just showed the whole world why she’s still considered one of the best skiers alive. The 30-year-old athlete won a gold medal in the women’s slalom on Wednesday morning, dominating the event with a 1.5-second lead over her competitors. It was Shiffrin’s last event in the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, and her final chance to take home gold after a disappointing performance in the 2022 Beijing Olympics. This is Shiffrin’s third gold medal as a U.S. Winter Olympian. That puts her in the same category as snowboarder Shaun White and bobsledder Kaillie Humphries. But it’s actually her…

The videos from Kings & Queens of Corbet’s Couloir don’t do the competition justice. Watching as these athletes launch themselves out into space down into the gut of this iconic feature of Jackson Hole is a sight that’s hard to wrap your head around in person. From the bottom, the couloir looks much steeper. The athletes look like ants standing atop it. And when they come sailing over the edge, it’s hard not to let your jaw fall open. Kings & Queens is one of the most impressive live-action sports events I’ve ever witnessed. This year, the athletes really put…
