		<title>Experimental Operating Base Swamp Romp</title>
		<description><![CDATA[They call it the experimental forward operating base, or ExFOB. (We call it a mud pit.) The results of these Marine Corps Base Quantico, Va.-based experiments could reduce a combat unit’s need for power and water. (This is big.) It would reduce its logistic needs. It will get resupply trucks (and the Marines driving those [...]]]></description>

		<title>Here’s To You, Holly Graf</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Despite the misfortune of Navy Capt. Holly Graf and the alleged suffering of the USS Cowpens (CG 63) crew under this so-called Capt. Bligh, we find the allegations and subsequent findings against her outrageous.
Foul and harsh language around sailors a problem? Fear on a warship? What has this Navy come to?
In the name of “We’re bored [...]]]></description>

		<title>Department of the Navy: Not Good Enough?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Marine Corps seems to have it own Tea Party movement: There is a bill in the House of Representatives to rename the “Department of the Navy” to the “Department of the Navy and Marine Corps.” While it might garner some additional awareness for the Boys’ Gun Club, proponents of the change seek parity with [...]]]></description>

		<title>F-35: Too Big to Fail?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have been reading the reports on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter with waning interest. They call it “Lightning II.” We call it “Déjà vu.” Pick your poison. It is another DDG-1000 Zumwalt Class Destroyer-to-Nowhere. It is the littoral combat ship that more than doubled in price. It is the bankrupt and canceled presidential helicopter.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;For Official Use Only&#8221; &#8211; The Faux Veil of Protection</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The phrase, “For Official Use Only” is the faux veil behind which government agencies, including the Defense Department, hide. All too often those with authority declare, “Make it FOUO.” The intent often is to hide information. But it is a designation not a classification.
Essentially, FOUO is meaningless.
We often see FOUO documents sitting in our cyber [...]]]></description>

		<title>Discharge All Mothers. Save America!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Maybe this is a tad obvious, but women who VOLUNTEER to serve in the ALL-VOLUNTEER force are volunteering to serve in the military service of choice. Most understand this. Many who have not served get it, too.
But not everyone is trackin’. Recently, a column in the Washington Times newspaper portrayed female servicemembers as victims of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Women on Subs? Not in My Corps.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Defense Secretary and Occasional Superhero Robert M. Gates announced the Navy will be opening service on board submarines to women. It is a move decades behind women’s service aboard surface ships and gender neutralizes nearly all Navy specialties (excluding Navy SEALS and a handful of others).
As required by Title 10, Gates forwarded his notification to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Female Engagement Teams: U.S. Leaders Tank Ditch to Progress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Employing U.S. females to engage the Iraqi and now Afghan women is not a new idea. Small-unit leaders quickly learned storming a home went more smoothly with U.S. women present to keep Muslim women calm.  Calm mitigates escalation.
Currently in Afghanistan, teams of women of varying size don their counterinsurgency garb and head into villages [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Routing Sheet: How do they win wars?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, the news out of Afghanistan on this latest “offensive” has been good. Resistance has been light, though sniper activity is on the rise. Regardless, the Marines (and of course NATO and Afghan forces to keep everyone happy) may be adding more tallies to their “Win” column.
So how does the Marine Corps win wars? After [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tombstone: Now, this is how to fight a war</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A fighting organization needs uber-confidence. Pride in self as well as mission are essential. Its players need to get into character for the big show. They require a rhythm. A vibe. Charisma. Sexy works. Lethal is even better.
It seems the Army has broken the code.
Not to regurgitate old news, but the Associated Press has reported [...]]]></description>
