U.S. President Donald Trump’s new executive order on artificial intelligence (AI) signals a sharper strategic turn in Washington’s technology policy.

The military could stand up a separate service branch to handle cyber operations by 2028— should Congress or the White House decide to do so this year, according to a new Center for Strategic and International Studies report released Wednesday. “Regardless of institutional alignment, reaching initial operating capacity (IOC) would take between 12 and 18 months and proceed through several sequential phases: setting conditions; fielding the IOC; iterative growth over several years; and institutional refinement,” CSIS’s commission on Cyber Force Generation wrote. “Following a presidential decision or legislative action to establish a new Title 10 service, this force generation model would…

For decades, Uzbek labor migration was centred on Russia. Millions of Uzbek nationals crossed into the Russian Federation every year, drawn by geographic proximity, the residual infrastructure of Soviet-era networks, and a shared linguistic familiarity that made the journey manageable.  That calculus is now under severe strain.

WASHINGTON — The Army’s intelligence hub and the Joint Staff’s J-7 are set to test a new prototype system, dubbed Project Wallabee, comprising an autonomous target recognition sensor on top of a stratospheric high-altitude balloon in the coming days, a senior Army official told Breaking Defense Tuesday.  The exercise, in which the Army’s G-2 is partnering with the J-7’s Warfighter Laboratory Incentive Fund program, is the first time the military is testing manufacturer Urban Sky’s high-altitude balloon with Applied Intuition’s small sensor. Andrew Evans, the director for the new Strategy & Transformation Office inside the G-2, said it’s been notoriously…
