U.S. lawmakers want an ammunition production and storage facility at a former American naval base in the Philippines. The move addresses concerns of the lack of a forward-based manufacturing hub in the Indo-Pacific.

The House Appropriations Committee’s defense subcommittee report on the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2026, detailed the plan under procurement as “Indo-Pacific Ammunition Manufacturing.”

      Naval School of Music celebrates 90 years of Musical Excellence

      VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – The Naval School of Music (NAVSOM) celebrated its 90th birthday June 26, 2025, with a special meal and cake cutting ceremony held at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story, followed by a graduation ceremony which saw six of the Navy and Marine Corps newest musicians and warfighters graduate primed and ready for the fleet. The school, which opened its doors in June 1935 in Washington, D.C., initially began operating in conjunction with the United States Navy Band before becoming an independent activity in 1942. “Today, we’re excited to celebrate all that we’ve contributed to the defense of our nation for the past nine decades. Every day we continue to write history here at this incredible institution,” said Cmdr. Diane Nichols, who currently serves as the 20th NAVSOM commanding officer. “For 90 years, we’ve proudly trained Sailors and Marines who go on to perform in ports, cities, and towns overseas, expertly demonstrating our unwavering commitment to security, stability, and peace.”
