Fifty-two years after a U.S. spy plane was shot down over Laos, a family still fights for answers: Did the crew all perish or were half of them left behind?

      US destroyers in the Red Sea conflict defeated enemy weapons without firing a shot, changing the way warships fight

      US Navy destroyers fended off Houthi drones in the Red Sea last year without firing a shot, demonstrating alternative ways for warships to battle these threats. Documents obtained by Business Insider detail multiple incidents throughout the Navy's counter-Houthi mission in which US destroyers used "non-kinetic" capabilities, engagement methods not dependent on munitions and physical destruction, to defeat the hostile drones launched by the Iran-backed Yemeni rebels.

      Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told business leaders at the Canada-U.S. Economic Summit in Toronto that U.S. President Donald Trump's threat to annex Canada "is a real thing." "Mr. Trump has it in mind that the easiest way to do it is absorbing our country and it is a real thing. In my conversations with him on…," Trudeau said, before the microphone cut out.

REF D IS SAFETY AND OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH TRAINING AVAILABILITY VIA NAVSAFECOM (TRAINPOINT) TRAINING PORTAL. REF E IS CANCELLATION OF ALSAFE 23-019 EFFECTIVE 31 AUG 2024, SAFETY AND OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH TRAINING AVAILABILITY VIA NAVSAFECOM (TRAINPOINT) TRAINING PORTAL.// 1. Background: References (a) through (d) require all military members under the age of 26 to receive 4 hours of traffic safety training within 12 months of entering the Navy. This training will convey to incoming personnel the profound responsibility associated with operation of a Private Motor Vehicle (PMV), Navy expectations for responsible vehicle operation and the significant impact PMV fatalities have on operational readiness. This training will also address general traffic safety precautions and local command traffic safety policies as well as any unique traffic safety considerations appropriate for the area. Ref (d) requires all personnel to utilize the NAVSAFECOM (TRAINPOINT) portal. 2. On 31 AUG 2024, ref (e), Commander, Naval Safety Command (COMNAVSAFECOM) completed its contractual obligation with TRAINPOINT, and it will not be renewed. Therefore, all safety and occupational health training provided via the Naval Safety Command TRAINPOINT training portal has been discontinued. 3. Action: This is commander's guidance on congruent methods to achieve training compliance until an enterprise-wide training course is developed. NRA Commanding Officers will accomplish the following: A. Identify all Sailors under 26 by name who have not completed the required training per refs (a) through (e). B. Ensure all newly assigned personnel receive a local area/host-nation traffic safety orientation brief within 30 days of arrival, ensuring each Sailor's status is current and captured in ESAMS. C. Commands will develop an interim comprehensive traffic safety orientation brief to meet the spirit and intent of the 4 hour block of training. This orientation brief will describe factors that commonly lead to traffic related mishaps including speeding, impaired driving (alcohol, illegal drugs, medications, fatigue), distracted driving, and failure to properly wear seat belts. The brief will also include information about local (state specific) driving conditions, hazards, regulations, laws, and the legal consequences and penalties for impaired or distracted driving. Additionally, the Command Safety Officer or the collateral duty Safety Officer will conduct in-person safety briefs during check-in/indoc. Topics will include, local area traffic, HOV/express lanes, clean fuel license plates, text messaging while driving (local laws), handheld phone ban in work zones (local laws), Military Motorcycle Operators Traffic Safety Training and local base safety regulations. D. I expect all leaders to have a conversation about traffic safety with our most valuable asset, our Sailors. Let's make sure they have the safety information they need to do to be successful and stay alive. 4. Examples of briefing templates are posted on the CNRF Safety SharePoint page and will be provided by the CNRF Safety Office upon request. 5. POC, Mr. Daniel Cantu, Safety Manager (948) 223-6613, email: daniel.cantu1.civ(AT)us.navy.mil. 6. Released by RADM Michael J. Steffen, Deputy Commander, Navy Reserve Force.// BT #0015 NNNN <DmdsSecurity>UNCLASSIFIED//</DmdsSecurity>
