e Pentagon’s quarterly report to Congress on the situation in Iraq, released just last week, takes full note of the “escalating violence,” much of it striking Iraqis rather than coalition forces. It also describes the cumulative effect of attacks on Iraqi infrastructure and the poor attempt at repair, noting how this increasing inability to deliver essential services has “undermined the legitimacy of the government among the Iraqi people.” More US dollars are on the way.
The Space Force is planning improvements at its launch ranges to better accommodate the logistics and infrastructure demands that come with the launch industry’s shift toward reusable rockets, according to the commanders of the service’s two launch deltas.
