On October 12, Acting Army Secretary Adam Telle announced a “manufacturing rodeo” that will “strain” and “stress-test” the Army’s organic industrial base supply chain to “see where it breaks.” Days later, Army Materiel Command acknowledged it is still tracing suppliers to raw materials ahead of a January 2027 ban on adversary minerals.

U.S. Soldier Arrested on Suspicion of Espionage Linked to Russia
LONDON (AP) — A member of the U.S. Army assigned to a NATO unit was arrested Tuesday in England on suspicion of espionage related to Russia, counterterror police and other officials said. The arrest comes during heightened concern over threats to American forces stationed in Britain and tension between Moscow and much of Europe.
The 41-year-old man, who was not named, was arrested near Gloucester on suspicion of violating two sections of the National Security Act 2023: assisting a foreign intelligence service and obtaining or disclosing protected information.
