I bet you didn’t expect to see the muppets playing in this halftime show, did you, world?

Awesome thread about Marines who are builders of our history. Semper Fidelis to those Montford Point Marines who led the way. Thank you for your service and for making Semper Fidelis have true meaning.

The costs we sunk into the Middle East over the last decades defined a generation of American service members. As our ongoing commitments in the Middle East run their course, there’s no better time to look to the West and our future in the Pacific.

The Navy is reimagining the role of amphibious forces to harness the complimentary capabilities of stand-in forces and autonomous systems. www.usni.org/magazines/pr...

A force fighting (drones) in the air, on land, and sea is as important as ever.

May you eternally gaze upon brachiosaurai in the sky, Sam Neill.

Now that is a maneuver I have not seen in quite some time…

@gravitysra1nbow.bsky.social, is the Army ceding the cyber littorals back to the Marines?

A force operating from the land, projecting power into the sea, and affecting a large fleet, you say?

I’m no expert in British peerage, but surely Count Binface has proven his Britishness and deserves to be known as Earl Binface.

The best time to pivot our posture to the Pacific was 15 years ago. The second best time to pivot our posture to the Pacific is now.

Finally getting those tropical drones into action. 🇵🇭 🇺🇸

First in awhile, but the USMC Airdrome Battalion was a shortlived unit based on the Marine Defense Battalion but without the Coast Artillery Group. Their ultimate mission would be to protect airfields inland and in particular those in the China-Burma Theater before the airfields were overran.

For example, did you know that Marines flew B-25 medium bombers that sank ships with a 75mm gun?

A great trip to the National Archives yesterday - @zachota.bsky.social @swbfolsom.bsky.social and @bafriedman.bsky.social will doubtless be pleased with this reflection from the Royal Regiment of Wales after a joint exercise in Hawaii... #Archives #MilHist

Sea Kiwi’s getting stronger

A lot of images are burned in my memory from covering combat in Iraq and Afg, but the bottom two here are ones I captured and can share: the last photo of Shea alive, an hour before he and Regalado were killed by a burst from a drum magazine, and the spot where Warren’s medic tried to save him.

Never forgotten.

Charles Waterhouse was 20-years old when he went ashore with the first wave at Iwo Jima in February of 1945. He was severely wounded, and suffered severe damage to his left hand. After the war, he studied art, and became a sought-after illustrator. 1/

Now the Army must acquire the Distribution Containership (DC) to rival MARV-EL. news.lockheedmartin.com/2026-04-27-S...

Western navies are finally adopting the Hilux model of littoral mobility.

No better Marine than LtGen Turner to be the Corps’ senior field commander.
