Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle in field test, accompanied by Humvees
WASHINGTON: The tanks, they are a-changin’. the Army’s deadline to submit concepts for a new Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle that will replace the Reagan-era M2 Bradley is just 11 days away, April 16. The service is already buying a replacement for the even older M113, a tracked workhorse that fought in Vietnam. And it’s experimenting with remote-controlled Robotic Combat Vehicles and even exploring unmanned options to replace the massive M1 Abrams main battle tank.
Maj. Gen. Richard Ross Coffman
But how does all this new technology translate into better tactics and more options for commanders? To get a glimpse of that future armored force, I sat down for an exclusive interview with the armor modernization director at Army Futures Command, Maj. Gen. Richard Ross Coffman.

Did Ice Cube Check Himself Before He Wrecked Robinhood's Name?

Shares0
Some lawyers decide to go scorched-earth style with an initial complaint in a proceeding. That is precisely the strategy undertaken by attorneys Michael A. Taitelman and Sean M. Hardy of FREEDMAN+TAITELMAN, LLP in a new lawsuit they brought on behalf of their client O’Shea Jackson Sr., more commonly known as Ice Cube.
On March 31, a complaint was filed in the Northern District of California against Robinhood, and the introduction section begins by stating that “Robinhood is an unscrupulous and predatory conglomerate that professes to be a financial services company for the everyday person. In truth, Robinhood is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. It is the archetypal example of an amoral corporation that places profits over people. Robinhood’s corporate malfeasance is no secret.” The first paragraph of that section ends with, “Robinhood is selling a garbage trading platform to the American public and laughing all the way to the bank.”

Q&A: Gen. Mike Murray On JADC2, Project Convergence, & Future War EXCLUSIVE

Gen. John Murray
In March, BD’s Sydney Freedberg and Theresa Hitchens sat down for an exclusive hour-long interview with Gen. John “Mike” Murray, chief of Army Futures Command: Click here for Part I, Part II, and Part III. There was so much good material in these interviews that we decided to print this extended excerpt, edited for length and clarity, focusing on the vital issue of Joint All Domain Command and Control.
A: China is absolutely taking primacy in terms of pacing threats. It’s really an operational defense that we like to call A2/AD or anti-access/area denial, because it’s designed to keep us out. You remember [now-retired Lt. Gen.] Eric Wesley, he used to describe it as a boxer using a jab: So if you’ve got reach, you use the jab to keep your opponent at bay and at a distance.

ATL Bracket Time: The Championship Round We All Wanted

Shares0
The Women’s NCAA tournament ended with a thriller between Stanford and a scrappy underdog in Arizona, but the Men’s tournament has brought us inexorably to the place we all expected: Gonzaga and Baylor. Much like the latter tournament, this year’s ATL bracket has also brought two heavy-hitters together in the final round. “I’m not a cat” at the 1 seed will square off against the second-seeded Jeffrey Toobin’s… ahem, “seed.”
really that good? It was funny, no mistake, but is it truly epic? The exceedingly patient judge helped him square it away quickly and life moved on. Jeffrey Toobin was the preeminent legal analyst in major media and gave it all up for… well, you know.

The Times They Are A-Changin' | Above the Law

In-person trials are starting up again.
In some states, judges never believed there was a pandemic. Those judges just barely slowed down.
In other states, judges experimented with Zoom trials.
But now, life is starting to open up again in a fair number of places.
I heard about a trial recently that made me think about a (possible) generational difference in the law. The trial was in-person. The trial lawyers were in one city, and the trial was 1,000 miles away; the lawyers would have to fly to the trial site. If folks were aggressive about it, they all could have had one, and some two, shots of the vaccine before they left. So the senior trial lawyer asked his team: “Who’s willing to fly to the trial site?”

Joint Force Vs. China: Project Convergence 21

“This is a journey to see what's possible, what can we do with today's technologies, for a relatively minor cost,” Gen. John Murray told us. “Project Convergence ’20 cost us about the same thing as one Combat Training Center rotation” -- $23 million.

Fix Space Force Acquisition Now!

This is the first time in nearly 70 years where the Defense Department can craft a wholly new service with new pathways to buy and field equipment. At its core this means building a culture of risk acceptance and tolerance -- not avoidance.
