US Department of Defense

New SIPRI report finds greatest increases in defense spending were in Europe and Asia, despite the ongoing wars in the Middle East.

The Pentagon just moved from operational need to formal solicitation in under a month. That is not just fast. It signals a fundamental shift in how defense gets built and bought.

PAC-3 MSE is used in the US Army's primary high-to-medium range interceptor system and forms the backbone of US and allied air defenses.

Stratasys will help the US military qualify and scale 3D-printed parts faster, as the Pentagon pushes to strengthen supply chains and modernize aging platforms.

Hegseth's Morgan Stanley broker contacted BlackRock in February about making a multimillion-dollar investment, while the Pentagon's spokesperson called the story "entirely false and fabricated."

The force is likely to include both infantry and armored vehicles, in addition to the 82nd Airborne Division already deployed to the region, according to the WSJ.

The weapons that could be redirected include air defense interceptor missiles purchased through a NATO initiative launched last year, under which partner countries buy US arms for Kyiv.

Maven is a command-and-control software platform that analyzes battlefield data and identifies targets. It is already the primary AI operating system for the US military.

Despite Hegseth's claims, US General Dan Caine did note that Iran still maintained "some capability" of launching strikes across the Gulf during the briefing. 

Hegseth appeared at the briefing room podium on March 2nd, just days after the joint Israeli-US strikes on Iran began.
