The trio begin the podcast by looking at the commissioning of the USS Canberra in Sydney and a recent US report that raises concerns about a maintenance backlog in the nuclear-powered submarine fleet.
They then unpack revelations that a common spelling error threatens to expose sensitive US military information, with millions of misspelled email addresses destined for members of the US military and DOD sent to Mali.
Garman, Kuper, and Dougherty wrap up the podcast discussing the latest developments in the land domain, including a recent live fire Boxer exercise.
