Ops Brief 099: Daily Drop - 12 Sep 2025 - The Pentagon’s New “Department of War”?

Send us a text

Peaches is back in the team room, and this “daily” drop is anything but short. From the Air Force reactivating old commands to Space Force rolling out new uniforms, this episode dives into the chaos of DoD rebrands, reorganizations, and questionable decisions. Why are we shooting at UFOs with Reapers? Why is Congress playing budget chicken with defense spending? And do service members still have free speech when Big Brother’s watching their socials?

On top of that, Peaches drops updates on the Nashville Operator Training Summit, rants about suicide prevention critics, and even schools himself on where the hell Pease Air National Guard Base is. Strap in—this one swings from creatine gummies to constitutional rights, all with the usual Ones Ready sarcasm.
