Peaches runs a solo Daily Drop Ops Brief and moves fast through a heavy slate. The Army looks to lease installation land for commercial AI data centers, trains leaders on drones and robots at Fort Benning, and deals with a soldier receiving life for murder. There’s speculation swirling around restricted airspace in El Paso, a $5.2M “Bumblebee” drone-bashing system, and Hawaii storm shutdowns. The Navy pushes unmanned swarms and AI-enabled fleet concepts while recognizing top surface warfare officers. The Marines quietly notch their third clean financial audit and debate staying on Okinawa. The Air Force expands border supervision, moves F-35As toward CENTCOM, and hosts a Special Air Warfare Symposium. SECDEF warns EOD techs about uploading sensitive data to generative AI. POTUS approves 200 troops to Nigeria. Meanwhile, China fields long-range anti-ship missiles, Algeria receives Su-57s, South Korea loses Cobra pilots, and seized cartel ammo traces back to a U.S. Army plant. Context. Not conspiracy.
