Ops Brief 007: Daily Drop - 12 March 2025

Welcome back to the Ones Ready podcast—where we break down the latest military chaos so you don’t have to. Today’s Daily Drop is packed with bad decisions, government bureaucracy, and a sprinkle of common sense (which the Pentagon still lacks).

💥 The U.S. is back to funding Ukraine—because stopping intel for a week totally didn’t screw them over.
💥 The Pentagon is trying to fix software acquisition—because nothing says efficiency like government contracts.
💥 DARPA is tweaking blood cells—can we just give warfighters HGH and call it a day?
💥 The Air Force might finally care about Arctic ops—but is it too late?
💥 F-35 partners are ‘standing firm’—translation: they spent too much to back out now.

Oh, and the Space Force is figuring out how to use commercial satellites because, surprise, we are way behind on the whole space superiority thing.

💥 Like, subscribe, and drop a comment if you think military leadership should start listening to operators.
