The Navy Closure Task Force – Red Hill began cleaning out sludge from fuel tanks seven and eight last week, the service announced Thursday.

Cleaning out sludge from the tanks at the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility is one of the steps required before the Navy can completely close down the facility, using a closure-in-place plan that would allow the facility to be used in the future as storage for something besides fuel, USNI News has previously reported.

      Navy Saw Small Increase in Sexual Assault Reports in FY 2024, According to DoD Report

      The Navy received 2,027 reports of sexual assault in Fiscal Year 2024, an increase of 4.4 percent over the previous year, according to the Department of Defense’s Annual Sexual Assault Report, released Thursday. The DoD sees increases in sexual assault reports as a positive trend, noting that it means more service members are willing to trust the system, bringing the numbers closer to actual prevalence. According to the annual sexual assault report for Fiscal year 2023, an estimated 7.5 percent of female sailors and 1.8 percent of male experience unwanted sexual contact. The DoD did not measure prevalence in FY 2024. The next survey will be conducted in Fiscal Year 2025.

      Republicans Say White House Budget Proposal Amounts to a Cut in Defense Spending

      Republican lawmakers are calling the White House’s defense budget proposal for the upcoming fiscal year an overall cut to the military following Friday’s release of the so-called skinny budget. While the White House is claiming that the Fiscal Year 2026 proposal would include the first $1 trillion defense budget, Republicans on Capitol Hill say that number includes dollars from the current reconciliation proposal and argue that accounting does not add up to the defense spending they want to see from the new administration.
