FORT BELVOIR, Va. (June 4, 2026) — To defeat adversaries’ explosive hazards on today’s battlefield, U.S. Army researchers are integrating the latest advances in artificial intelligence to deliver greater lethality and survivability to Soldiers.

HURLBURT FIELD, Fla. —   The 1st Special Operations Wing introduced a new 30 mm ammunition-linking machine at Hurlburt Field on April 21, 2026, an innovation set to save the Air Force millions by repurposing rounds from retiring A-10 Thunderbolt IIs for use on AC-130J Ghostriders.  The initiative stems from the planned future retirement of the A-10, which will leave millions of 30 mm rounds without an assigned platform. The Air Force plans to transfer several hundred thousand of those rounds a year to Air Force Special Operations Command for use on the gunships.   However, this transfer presented a logistical hurdle: the A-10 employs unlinked ammunition, while the AC-130J requires…

American Prairie has already been fighting the federal government over its bison grazing permits. Now, a separate fight over Montana state trust lands has handed the nonprofit a temporary win. Lewis and Clark County District Court Judge Christopher Abbott granted the nonprofit’s request for a preliminary injunction on Friday, June 26. The order temporarily blocks a Montana Board of Land Commissioners directive that told the Department of Natural Resources and Conservation not to authorize or approve any new pending bison grazing requests on state trust lands. The ruling doesn’t end the case. It just stops the state from using that…

Shortly after taking office for his second term, President Trump laid off a quarter of the agency’s employees. Other austerity measures followed, including spending freezes, threats of further layoffs, and reduced worker protections. Labor unions for federal employees have been fighting back against many of these actions, accusing the administration of illegally firing park employees. This situation has motivated hundreds of park employees to join labor unions in recent months, according to union representatives. On June 17, the National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU) announced that about 650 workers at 87 park sites, including Glacier National Park, voted to join. That followed…
