The U.S. Army’s new Janus Program aims to deploy small, long-lasting nuclear micro-reactors on bases worldwide, enhancing energy resilience, reducing diesel dependence, and ensuring reliable power for future Indo-Pacific and remote operations.

Across decades of conflict, women have turned principle into practice—proving that inclusive, community-led leadership strengthens peacebuilding, governance, and long-term stability. Bougainville women mediated peace through cultural authority and Timor-Leste achieved strong women’s parliamentary representation.

The accelerated shift to post-quantum encryption highlights growing urgency for governments and industry to prepare early. Planning and independent verification will be vital as future cryptographic threats evolve. Microsoft targets full post-quantum migration by 2033.

The Treaty commits both nations to mutual consultation when either country is threatened and builds on last year’s defence cooperation agreement. Leaders emphasised trust, friendship, and regional stability. To be signed formally in Jakarta in January.

The Long Range Manoeuvring Projectile (LRMP) extends 155mm artillery range to 120 km, delivering GPS-denied precision and controlled flight against static or moving targets; offering affordable, adaptable, long-range firepower for multi-domain operations.

Self-improvement can occur through subtle, internal changes rather than dramatic actions. Practices like self-kindness, reflection, and questioning habitual beliefs foster personal growth, resilience, and well-being over time, even when energy or resources are limited.

Burnout worsens when energy austerity leads individuals to cut joy and energy-giving activities. Recovery requires actively reinvesting in nourishing activities, pursuing meaningful engagement, and incorporating multiple types of rest to restore energy, resilience, and well-being.

SOCOM aims to develop a small, jam-resistant, fire-and-forget missile deployable from medium-sized drones, enabling autonomous kinetic strikes in GPS-denied or electronically contested environments, enhancing special operations lethality and resilience in contested conditions.

Future conflicts may begin with homeland cyber-attacks. The US Army advocates AI-enabled mission command, data-centric operations, integrated cyber-electronic-warfare training, and division-level experimentation to achieve decision dominance and operational resilience.

Calls to revive costly, heavily armoured warships ignore advances in modern warfare. Smaller, dispersed, and missile-based fleets now offer greater flexibility, resilience, and cost-effectiveness. The recent US Navy Zumwalt destroyer program proved gun systems impractical.
