A Look at Top Military Stories in 2016

Morning Coffee is a robust blend of links to news around the Internet concerning the Naval Air Station Patuxent River economic community. The opinions expressed here do not reflect opinions of the Leader’s owners or staff.

USNI News takes a look at some of the top military and maritime stories of 2016. Last year was full of major news in research, development, and acquisition, as well as commissionings, testing, fielding, and planning for ships, aircraft, and weapon systems.

Following Donald Trump’s recent posts on Twitter about the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program, a Georgia lawmaker wrote to the president-elect describing the impact Lockheed Martin’s program has on the county she represents and the US as a whole, MDJonline.com reports. “If the F-35 contract is in jeopardy, then their jobs are in jeopardy, which is concerning to me,” wrote Rep. Stacey Evans. “Further, if the F-35 contract is in jeopardy, I believe our national security would be in jeopardy as well, which is even more concerning to me.”

Trump’s F-35 tweet did more than just pit two iconic US companies — Lockheed Martin and Boeing — against each other, Middle East North Africa Finance Network reports, he sidelined decades of policy in how the US military spends billions of dollars annually.

Australia is keeping an eye on Trump’s plans for the F-35 JSF program, oneindia.com reports. That country has plans to buy 58 of those planes, and if the cost is cut by only 5 percent, the potential in savings could be $233 million. The first of Australia’s 72 F-35s are due next year, with the first of three squadrons expected to be operational by 2021, The Australian reports (Paywall.)  The stealth jet will replace the F/A-18 Hornets and will work alongside 24 Super Hornets bought in the 2000s.

China is making progress with its Shenyang FC-31 Gyrfalcon stealth fighter, The National Interest reports. China hopes to compete with the Lockheed Martin F-35 JSF. Warrior Scout takes a look at the Super Hornet, the “super plane that could replace the F-35.” Warrior also reports that a new aircraft, engineered to succeed the F-35, is in the earliest stages of conceptual development with the Air Force and Navy.

Fox Business reports that the new Trump administration will mean good news for the US Navy and for the three defense contractors who build most of its ships: Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, and Huntington Ingalls. The Trump plan calls for 355 ships; the size of the current fleet is 273 ships.

North Korea is finalizing preparations for a test launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile, Reuters reports. That country worked through 2016 developing components for an ICBM, making the country’s claim that it was close to a test-launch plausible.

A transition team official told Military Times last week the president-elect is considering an overhaul of veterans health care options, with a public-private option. That would allow some vets to get medical care from private-sector physicians, with the government taking care of the bill.  “It’s one of the options on the table,” the official said. “Definitely an option on the table to have a system where potentially vets can choose either or, or all private.”

US military health officials are warning service members that chugging too many energy drinks can have harmful side effects. The drinks are loaded with caffeine, sugar, and taurine, Military.com reports. Researchers with the Department of Veterans Affairs say they know very little about taurine’s neuroendocrine effects.

The Dwight D. Eisenhower carrier strike group headed back to Norfolk in late December after months in the Persian Gulf and the Mediterranean. Carrier groups usually relieve each other in theater, Defense News reports, but this time, there was no carrier in the Eisenhower’s wake.
