The Weekly Break Out Ep. 16: Army ‘transformation’ and ICBMs need new silos
Ashley Roque and Michael Marrow join the show to talk about what’s going on with the Army and Air Force.
This week on The Break Out, Editor-in-Chief Aaron Mehta is joined by two members of the team to talk big program changes on their beats.
First, Army Reporter Ashley Roque dives into the week that was for the US Army. She discusses her scoop about potential changes to the service, the memo from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that kicked it off days later, and then her next scoop about the cancellation of the the Robotic Combat Vehicle program.
After the break, Air Force reporter Michael Marrow comes on and talks about his reporting on the future of the Sentinel intercontinental ballistic missile and the service’s statement that it now expects to need to dig new missile silos, a change of a longstanding plan.
