Small Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (SUAS) in Divisional Brigades
The authors identified options for the Army to field and employ small uncrewed aircraft systems at the division, BCT and battalion levels to enhance fire support capabilities.

Thrilled to see this out! I was fortunate to work w/a tremendous @rand research team on a sUAS project sponsored by 18th Airborne Corps. My focus was on maximizing the army's sUAS training ecosystem from the unit-level to institutional army. 1/

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now.

There’s a big story everyone is missing—but this article hits on it.
We aren’t just seeing public health dismantled bc we’ve been taken over by conspiracy theorists and lunatics.
What we’re really seeing is the giant, predatory, underegulated wellness industry come to Washington.
