“the Albanese government is rightly seeking more potent deterrent capabilities and accelerating preparedness, Canberra’s defence strategy, however, still risks losing sight of current and emerging grey-zone risks which could yield China the benefit of strategic surprise or tactical gains in a future crisis or conflict.” AMBITIOUSLY GREY: PURSUING AN ACTIVE AUSTRALIAN MILITARY APPROACH IN THE GREY-ZONE - THOMAS LONERGAN | MARCH 2024 Defence spending over the forward estimates isn’t expected to feature major if any increases until 2027–28.

Great to see United restoring IAD-SLC after an 11-year absence! Frequent flyers between the National Capital Region and the Wasatch Front should benefit from better pricing and schedules. With the recent addition of Breeze Airways from IAD to Provo, flight options are improving after years of consolidation, especially by Delta, to just one flight a day from IAD and DCA, and two daily from BWI. By the end of 2024 there will be 5 daily flights on 3 airlines and 3 weekly flights on Breeze: - BWI (Delta and Southwest 1X each, daily) - IAD (United and Delta 1X each, daily; Breeze 3X weekly) - DCA (Delta 1X daily). Note that for many years, there were 2X daily DCA-SLC on Delta but the airline swapped one of its DCA slots from SLC to LAX. As the 5th largest airport in the US by land area and with 4 parallel runways, Dulles is better positioned for expansion versus DCA--which has the most congested single runway in the country. By comparison, LAX also has 4 parallel runways but accommodates 4 times the number of flight operations as IAD. As a frequent IAD flyer, Dulles could use an upgrade to the United terminals (C and D), but functions well, is not subject to the delays of congested airports, and is now served by Metro's Silver Line.

Two of the strongest competitors at the Tour de France for 8 years. They needed each other to perform even better. Besides all the will and fight to win against the opponent - unbelievable what Jan did as Lance fell down at one race: Instead of using the opportunity to his advantage, Jan slowed down until Lance catched up again. You can transfer this to business easily - winning a customer because of the weakness of your competitor is a good but a short lasting feeling. Much more intense, sustainable and motivating is a hard fight at the same level at which only minor things are making the key difference. https://lnkd.in/eebdaBkj

If Kevin McCranie is writing on Mahan, Corbett, and our contemporary world ... we should all be reading. His book is the best naval strategy book of the last several years and his understanding of ATM and JSC is deep:
