United States Department of Defense’s Post

Statement on Strategic National Security Collaboration In the interest of enhancing national security and ensuring the effectiveness of our defense strategies, I propose the establishment of a direct and secure communication channel, managed by a single, designated individual who will serve as the critical liaison between the Pentagon and the senior advisors to the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran. This individual will be solely responsible for facilitating real-time dialogue on critical security issues, thereby reducing the risk of miscommunication and enabling swift, coordinated responses to emerging threats. This proposal is aimed at bolstering our national security framework through improved diplomatic engagement, allowing for more coordinated efforts in conflict prevention, counterterrorism, and regional stability. By appointing one dedicated advisor to oversee this communication channel, we ensure that our national security policies are executed with the highest level of precision, accountability, and responsiveness. The advisor should be carefully selected for their exceptional expertise and diplomatic acumen, capable of navigating the complex geopolitical landscape while effectively representing our nation’s security interests. The role of this individual will be pivotal in safeguarding national interests, ensuring that operations are conducted with the utmost integrity and strategic foresight.

It was always wild to me that Carl G gunners had a limit of rounds they could fire within 24 hours, but Mortars had free reign to fire literally thousands of 120mm mortar rounds in the same time frame. In humor, we used to have Rangers outside of our Platoon “ride in” the baseplate with a charge four round, just to watch them be in that split second daze of someone who doesn’t know what to expect. To all those who have rode the lightning, you know what I am talking about. At the time, we thought it was funny to watch new guys operate on the gun line and experiance the sucker punch the 120 delivered. Throwing up from the over pressure, although very rare, was worn like a badge of honor. We were invincible misfit 20-somethings who could take on the world. With maturity comes the realization that our training probably had a lasting impact on our Rangers. I can think of one member of my Platoon who, I suspect, has suffered severe issues related in part to blast over pressure. Maybe all of us have. The blast over pressure on a 120mm mortar is quite intense, especially for the gunner and assistant gunner, who’s heads are inches from the cannon. Too many have suffered the effects of headaches, impulsivity, anxiety, and brain fog. It is an issue that we all knew was there, but never talked about. The recognition of the effects by the DoD is a huge step forward in recognizing and treating those who have been effected by blast over pressure. Much like “breachers brain”, it is a neurological issue related to combat training that has been very obvious to those doing the work. It is very, very long overdue to be officially recognized.

Introducing the Cerberus Light—a powerful, precision-engineered tool that meets the U.S. Military’s Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Program (J.N.L.W.P.) standards, designed to give you unmatched performance in ocular disruption and non-lethal defense. With its industry-leading “Compelling-Glare” saturation reaching distances up to 20 meters, the Cerberus Light surpasses previous models like the Glare M.O.U.T. and LA-9/P, delivering 50% more perceived interocular energy than competitors such as the Streamlight TLR-1. This advanced capability makes it essential for Hail-Warning-Suppression situations, where reliability beyond 20 meters is critical. Built for maximum efficiency, the Cerberus Light offers a runtime of 45-70 minutes while maintaining consistent output, thanks to its cutting-edge divergence angle of 14-15 degrees. Powered by two rechargeable CR123 batteries, it features a combination of two green and one white diode emitters. Its ambidextrous controls and carefully designed cowling reduce backsplash and lens contamination, making it ideal for pistol-mounted operations or handheld use. Weighing only 3.61oz and with a compact profile (1.501″ width, 1.695″ height), the Cerberus Light is an indispensable tool for law enforcement, security personnel, and military applications. It sets a new standard in non-lethal defense, giving you the confidence and control needed in critical situations. Can be deployed as a standalone system with a handle and holster and mounted to any standard 1913 rail. Handgun, Carbine or other non-lethal systems. #police #lawenforcement #thingblueline #security #defense

Our RECSA strategic plan, shaped by past lessons, aligns with the momentum of small arms and light weapons control in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Illicit small arms and light weapons are not just a security issue, but a vital development concern.  Read more about our RESCA’s strategic plan here:https://lnkd.in/e__yT44g #StopArmsProliferation #ProtectOurCommunities #BreakTheCycle

"Self-Inflicted" brain injuries...what a stupid, sophomoric, self-serving, misleading headline; as if the final result desired of the training event (or combat action) was a bad case of TBI. Words mean things MilitaryTimes.com. Do better. This headline makes it sound like these injuries were inflicted intentionally because there weren't enough framing hammers or cinder blocks lying around for folks to hit themselves in the face with. I guess it's "self-inflicted" in the same way folks self-inflict small arms sucking chest wounds and/or a traumatic amputations via RPG rounds / IED / IDF rounds....you know, the unfortunate sufferer did chose to put themselves into harm's way when they volunteered to join their Branch of Service... TBI is far too serious of a matter to have to put up with more journalistic ineptitude. Who vets these "articles?" Are functioning editors not a thing anymore or are the really, really stupid decisions the result of DEI groupthink hellbent on sensationalism or simply letting the young, angry "D" team grind a few axes at the fighting folk's expense because 'patriarchy?' TBI sufferers deserve better..so...much...better. Again, words mean things MilitaryTimes.com. Do better. Do better now or just stop and open a T-Shirt kiosk...I hear Che Guevara / Gavrilo Princip are really popular with the kids these days. https://lnkd.in/ecSXqHqg
