A Navy MH-60 Romeo Seahawk helicopter deployed to the Red Sea has shot down a Houthi drone, the vice chief of Naval Operations revealed Tuesday

As one of the first Post-9/11 veterans, I faced a stark choice from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) when I transitioned from military service to civilian life. While attending college, I could opt for the older, less generous Chapter 32 of the post-Vietnam era veterans’ Montgomery G.I. Bill, or I could take advantage of the newer, more robust Chapter 33 post-9/11 veterans’ G.I. Bill. With college prices much higher than the Vietnam Era, like many others, I chose the latter. But there was a catch: By selecting Chapter 33, I was forced to forfeit the first year of my Chapter 32 benefits. This condition, imposed on millions of veterans, effectively denied us thousands of dollars in educational support. This partly voided the military’s guarantee of free education for military service. Even with this setback, the Chapter 33 benefits were superior — so it was a tradeoff I, and many others, reluctantly accepted...

Driven by "curiosity," a U.S. Navy corpsman attempted to access President Biden's medical records last year following a group discussion with his colleagues about military security protocols for using government computers, according to the federal criminal investigation obtained by CBS News.

WASHINGTON – Secretary of the Navy, Carlos Del Toro issued ALNAV 001/25 on Jan. 10, 2025, updating the policy governing the investigation of formal sexual harassment complaints. As of Jan. 26, 2022, sexual harassment has been a separate offense under Article 134 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. In the fiscal year 2023 NDAA, Congress added formal, substantiated complaints of Article 134 sexual harassment to the existing list of covered offenses which must be referred to the Office of Special Trial Counsel (OSTC) for review. Through the ALNAV, new reporting and investigation processes have been implemented. “The Navy takes care of its Warfighters, and that includes protecting their legal rights,” said Rear Adm. Jonathan Stephens, Lead Special Trial Counsel. “This latest change continues to enhance trust in the military justice system and supports fairness for all.” In recent years, the Navy has answered the call for meaningful change within its military justice practice and processes, and it has deliberately and comprehensively implemented the most significant reforms to the system in more than 70 years. These reforms included the establishment of the Navy’s OSTC in 2023, a worldwide prosecution organization which reports directly to the Secretary of the Navy. As mandated in the fiscal year 2022 NDAA, all covered offenses, which include homicide and interpersonal violence offenses, must be screened by a Special Trial Counsel, who are independent, specialized, and expert. This contrasts with non-covered offenses over which military commanders still exercise decision-making authority with advice from military prosecutors. The addition of sexual harassment as a covered offense is essential to maintaining good order and discipline and warfighter readiness. “The Department of the Navy remains committed to the principle of keeping faith with all who serve,” Secretary Del Toro wrote in the ALNAV. “Sexual harassment and other harmful behaviors constitute a betrayal of our responsibility to our teammates and our Nation.”

This message updates the personnel authorized to act as initial review officers for the purposes of Rule for Courts-Martial (R.C.M.) 305(j)(2) of reference (a). 2. Effective immediately, the following policy applies: a. Unless impracticable, the Chief Judge of the Navy and Marine Corps Trial Judiciary, or their designee, will designate a military judge or magistrate to act as the initial review officer for purposes of R.C.M. 305(j)(2). The military judge or magistrate determines the location of the R.C.M. 305(j) review. Such assignment may be conducted via remote means at the discretion of the designated military judge or magistrate. The military judge or magistrate will consider input on operational impact, if any, from the confinee's commanding officer prior to determining the status of the hearing. b. If designation of a military judge or magistrate is impracticable, a General Court-Martial Convening Authority (GCMCA) will designate a judge advocate, normally of the grade of O-4 or higher, qualified and certified under Article 27b, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), to act as the initial review officer for purposes of R.C.M. 305(j)(2). For hearings conducted on installations with a military confinement facility, the GCMCA exercising jurisdiction over the confinement facility will assign the initial review officers to specific cases. For hearings conducted on installations without a military confinement facility, the GCMCA of the confinee's parent command or regional commander (if applicable) will assign the initial review officer. c. The initial review officer must follow the procedures outlined in R.C.M. 305(j)(2)(A), to include permitting the victim to be reasonably heard. The initial review officer will forward a copy of the documents considered and memorandum prepared under R.C.M. 305(j)(2)(D) in each case to the confinee's brig file and to the commander that ordered the Service Member into confinement. d. The officers designated as initial review officers must be neutral and detached judge advocates qualified and certified under Article 27b, UCMJ, and selected for their maturity and experience. Service as a staff judge advocate is not disqualifying as long as that officer is neutral and detached from the chain of command of the officer ordering pretrial confinement. Nothing in this rule prohibits the use of an initial review officer designated by one GCMCA from reviewing the confinement of a Service Member of another command or service. 4. I direct the Judge Advocate General of the Navy to update reference (b) to reflect this policy change. Until then, this ALNAV controls. 5. The Department of the Navy remains committed to the principle of keeping faith with all who serve. 6.

Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for secretary of defense, appeared before the Senate Armed Services Committee this week for a high-stakes and at many times contentious confirmation hearing. Many Democrats focused on Hegseth’s personal controversies and past allegations of misconduct, which he vigorously denied, or his past comments opposing women serving in combat, which he backtracked on.

Jan 17 (Reuters) - A Florida jury on Friday found U.S. broadcaster CNN liable for defaming a U.S. Navy veteran who helped evacuate people from Afghanistan after the U.S. military withdrew from the country in 2021. The jury said CNN had to pay damages totaling $5 million. There will be a second phase of the trial to determine any punitive damages.

The Navy relieved the commanding officer of Naval Information Warfare Training Group Norfolk on Thursday, the service announced.

America and Greenland share a continent. They both have water on their East and West sides. The cost of living and number of airports is different, as is the size of their populations and their geography. But according to a new poll that asked Americans what they think of President-elect Donald Trump's plan to acquire Greenland, they have another thing in common: People in both countries think it's not a great idea. Even for an elected president with a track record of surprising proposals, Trump's floated suggestion to take over the Arctic territory was met with widespread shock, according to an exclusive new USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll.

With the new Congress sworn in and President-elect Trump poised for his second inauguration, Republicans have queued up a number of bills that could widely expand veterans’ access to the private health care system, setting up the latest battle over VA’s reliance on what’s known as community care. Efforts to reform how the Department of Veterans Affairs provides health care to millions of veterans are heating up in 2025 as pressures to bring down costs and lower wait times for care mount. Republicans argue that VA is a bloated bureaucracy that is making a concerted effort to prevent veterans from accessing community care and forcing them to stick with the VA system to curb costs. Democrats, meanwhile, fear that the proposed legislation would strip VA of its ability to provide direct care, disrupting coordination and quality. Hanging in the balance are nine million veterans enrolled in VA health care, many of whom have frustrations with both VA and community care, and simply want medical care without long wait times and bureaucratic hurdles.

ARLINGTON, Va. – USS Sterett (DDG-104) will be the first destroyer to receive all electronic warfare, radar and combat system upgrades under the service’s Destroyer Modernization 2.0 program in a single availability period within the next five years. Compared to the existing quartet of Arleigh Burke-class destroyers slated for modernization, USS Pinckney (DDG-91), USS James E. Williams (DDG-95), USS Chung Hoon (DDG-93) and USS Halsey (DDG-97), which will undergo the project in two availability phases, DDG 2.0 modernization program manager Capt. Tim Moore told reporters yesterday at the Surface Naval Association symposium that Sterett will complete its upgrades in one go.

FALLS CHURCH, Va. – Do you know what to do when you or a family member feels sick, but it’s outside of business hours or it’s the weekend? Should you go to an urgent care clinic or the emergency room, or wait until your doctor’s office is open? Luckily, TRICARE has a service called the Military Health System Nurse Advice Line that can help when you need healthcare guidance. “The MHS Nurse Advice Line is an excellent resource for TRICARE beneficiaries and their families,” said Julie Pruitt, Branch Chief, Integrated Referral Management and Appointing, Assistant Director for Healthcare Administration at the Defense Health Agency. “Sometimes all you might need is to have a healthcare professional answer a few simple questions to provide you with direction and next steps. By contacting the MHS Nurse Advice Line, you’ll have peace of mind.”

WASHINGTON — Today, the Department of Veterans Affairs expanded the Veterans Legacy Memorial (VLM) — the nation’s largest digital platform dedicated to the memory of Veterans and service members — to allow Veterans to tell their own story before they pass away. The new “Your Story, Your Legacy” feature will allow Veterans who have been approved for VA’s pre-need eligibility determination for burial in a VA national cemetery to log in to a secure website where they can privately submit images, autobiographies, military and life milestones, and historical documents. VLM already offers family, friends, and others a way to chronicle the life of a Veteran by uploading written tributes, photos, biographies, documents, and other information. It contains nearly 10 million interactive VLM pages for those interred in VA national cemeteries, Department of Defense-managed cemeteries, VA grant-funded state/tribal cemeteries, National Park Service cemeteries, and private cemeteries around the world.

The mother of a Navy SEAL recruit who died after completing "hell week" training has told ABC News that the cases against the men she blames for her son's death were dismissed by the Navy and she says she hasn't been told why. In February 2022, 24-year-old Kyle Mullen died after successfully endured the 120-hour week of brutal training that’s designed to push Navy SEAL candidates to their physical and mental limits. His mother, Regina Mullen, is now demanding accountability for his death.

COPENHAGEN, Jan 16 (Reuters) - Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen called business leaders to a meeting on Thursday after U.S. President-elect Donald Trump last week refused to rule out military or economic action to take control of Greenland. Trump said it was an "absolute necessity" for the United States to take control of Greenland, a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark, and suggested he would impose tariffs on Denmark if it resists his offer to buy the vast Arctic island.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Navy announced that the USS Lyndon B. Johnson (DDG-1002) dry-docked at Huntington Ingalls Industries’ Pascagoula Shipyard in Mississippi last Sunday to begin the integration process for Conventional Prompt Strike, making the Zumwalt-class destroyer the second vessel to receive the conventional hypersonic missiles.

U.S. Navy aircraft carriers deployed in the Indo-Pacific region have recently been equipped with a mysterious new device. At first glance, it appears to be related to electronic warfare. But it actually fulfills a different role. Naval News was able to investigate and is now able to reveal the true role of the "Mk24 MOD0"

WASHINGTON (AP) — Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin‘s failure to inform Congress or the White House as required when he was incapacitated due to treatment for prostate cancer and later complications potentially raised “unnecessary” security risks, the Pentagon’s watchdog concluded in a highly critical report released Wednesday. The inspector general’s report concluded there were no “adverse consequences” resulting from the poor communications about his condition a year ago. But it faulted Austin for keeping his hospitalization secret for days, even from President Joe Biden, and found that his strong desire for privacy likely influenced his staff in deciding not to prod further into his condition.

The Navy is already analyzing and training to prevent a repeat of a December friendly fire incident that saw USS Gettysburg (CG-62) shoot down a F/A-18 fighter jet. However, investigations into what happened are still underway and public details are few. Vice Adm. Daniel Cheever, commander of Naval Air Forces, told reporters Tuesday that he could not give details about the incident citing the ongoing investigations. However, he did say that a “big debrief” has happened. “Those investigations don’t stop us at the tactical level from learning everything and training and changing our training to make sure that never happens again,” Cheever said.
