The Gaza pier project faced early concerns within the U.S. government, including a warning that rough seas could pose a challenge, an inspector general found.

A dispute over who qualifies for “Gold Star” status has divided the families of deceased U.S. troops and compelled the Biden administration to conduct a review.

The humanitarian operation, announced by President Biden in March, has been sidelined several times by poor weather and rough seas.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin withheld for days that he had been hospitalized after suffering complications from a surgery to treat prostate cancer.

The Air Force inspector general says the massive classified documents leak by Jack Teixeira was made worse by the intentional failure of multiple officials to take required action on his suspicious behavior.

The move could compel U.S. officials to reopen their investigation of the horrific attack as the Biden administration raced to leave Afghanistan two years ago.

The Taliban’s offensive this spring included more than two dozen insider attacks during the 90-day period ending June 30, a wave of violence that left at least 81 Afghan troops dead, a new U.S. government report revealed Thursday.

More than 800,000 people served in Afghanistan in the U.S. military, and many of them are reflecting anew on what the war achieved and the meaning of their individual parts in it.

The 56-page report was released on the same day the Senate Armed Services Committee’s subcommittee on personnel held a hearing on sexual assault in the military and retaliation against victims who report it.

The survey by the nonprofit Blue Star Families highlights a challenge for the U.S. military.

The expansion comes as lawmakers question extremist views in the military and the ability of U.S. troops to respond quickly in domestic crises.

It is one of several recent incidents that have raised concerns about the conduct of America's elite combat forces, including an alleged sexual assault by a Navy SEAL in Iraq last summer, cocaine use and the strangulation of a Green Beret soldier in Mali in 2017.

The former defense secretary had held back from directly criticizing the president — until now.

A former Special Forces officer, a former infantry officer and a Navy SEAL received reprieves from President Trump.

“Our numbers are not moving in the right direction,” a senior Pentagon official said.
