Peaches runs a solo Daily Drop Ops Brief and this one’s got everything: an Army Futures and Concepts Command elevation, a retired colonel sentenced for sharing classified war plans with a honeypot, and a battalion leader getting four years for secretly recording guests. The Navy manages to collide two ships in the Caribbean, debates doubling ship procurement, and asks for historic funding levels—while the Pentagon eyes a $1.6 trillion defense budget increase. A Marine is declared lost at sea, the Marine Corps passes another clean audit, and an Afghan adoption case survives court. The Air Force wrestles with healthcare access and collaborative combat aircraft software, Space Force pushes quality-of-life fixes, the Coast Guard uses an anti-drone laser near El Paso, and SECDEF skips a NATO meeting while POTUS leans on military leaders for diplomacy. No conspiracy. Just context.
