The Pentagon plans to stop quizzing military academy cadets every year about sexual assaults and harassment because the cadets have developed “survey fatigue,” reports the Times Herald-Record of New York’s Hudson Valley.

Whether it would remain after the House-Senate conference is uncertain, especially since some Congressmen believe the issue is still way too hot to reduce emphasis.
A novel program to integrate U.S. and Japanese space capabilities was “completed” last week when a Japanese navigation satellite carrying a U.S. Space Force payload launched into orbit.
