By early October, the U.S. Army will have a new program executive office (PEO) in charge of its Brigade Combat Team Modernization (BCTM), a sweeping effort to restructure its controversial Future Combat Systems (FCS) program.
The new PEO will effectively act as the integrator for BCTM, looking across the board at how to integrate so-called capabilities sets into Brigade Combat Teams (BCTs), according to Paul Mehney, associate director for BCTM. Additionally, a product manager role will be established in various sectors, including one for th...
The Armys much-touted network, the backbone of FCS, could become a point of contention as the services Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) wrestles with how much information will go to whom and how it will get delivered. The MGVs were essentially the hub of the network, and without them, TRADOC will have to determin...
The fully equipped, 15-brigade FCS structure is off the table as well, forcing the Army to figure out how to incorporate Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles and up-armored Humvees into the new BCT formations. All 73 Army BCTs will now be mobile and tailor-able, according to Mehney, capable of performing the...
Capability sets will replace so-called spin outs, with the BCTs benefiting from upgrades and improvements on a rotating basis every few years. That system may help the program avoid the technical maturity issues it faced over the course of development for FCS. Paul Francis of the congressional Government Accountability...
Still, the end-product may not be that far from the original vision, albeit adapted to new budget realities, one Washington think tank analyst says in an Aug. 26 report. Given the continued development of the network and a number of additional FCS components, it seems unlikely that the new modernization program will be...
The new process will take longer, however. The Army will start with a first increment in 2011, but it will take until 2025 to completely field all the capability sets.

Comandiux is multipurpose command line controlled (cli) system utility. It enhances the standard Windows environment with many new features. Automates various activities and adds power to batch files. You can reboot, shutdown or log off windows session, kill task, create or modify a service. Destroy, hide or close any ...
Either it needs a bit more instructions or it simply doesn't work. No matter what I enter, I only get an error popup that says 'the system cannot find the file specified'.
If you're serious about writing powerful batch files, commandiux is a must-have utility. My favorite function is the on-screen display, OSD - you can specify plain text and RTF text, which means you can overlay winword-like, colorful text on your screen! I'm not aware of any other free utility that can do that. I also ...
Pros: small, powerful, unique functions that are hard to find elsewhere, no installation needed.
Cons: needs more documentation with examples.
very usefull, if u know what its for (on previous comments).
U can simply control certain thinks, like shutdown timer, scripting (.bat files helper) and so on.
lacking experience is perhaps a better word. most commandline tools fall under the category "if you don't know how to use it, you probably don't need it".
I downloaded it.. It has no installer, it's a simple exe program. I'm still not sure what it does as even the website doesn't have a manual or examples. All that is included is the list of commands which show upon running the program.
For the lack of documentation, I think I'll give it a two.

Saudi Arabia has placed its first Airbus Military A330-200-based multirole tanker transports (MRTT) into operational use, with the type to be flown from its Riyadh air base.
Airbus Military says one MRTT was inducted into Royal Saudi Air Force service on 25 February, with this being the first of three examples "that have already been contractually delivered". Three more are also being produced under a follow-on contract, with deliveries to start in late 2014.
Riyadh's first operational MRTT carries the service registration 2402. Powered by two General Electric CF6-80E engines, the platform is equipped with an aerial refuelling boom system and under-wing hose and drogue refuelling pods, enabling it to support the air force's Boeing F-15, Eurofighter Typhoon and Panavia Torna...
Introduction of the new type supports an expansion in the Royal Saudi Air Force's inflight refuelling capabilities. The service's inventory already includes seven Boeing 707-derived KE-3A tankers delivered in 1987, says Flightglobal's MiliCAS database.
The service milestone in Saudi Arabia came just weeks after the early February delivery of the first of three MRTT aircraft to the United Arab Emirates. It was also followed on 27 February by the Royal Australian Air Force announcing that its fleet of five locally designated KC-30As had achieved initial operating capab...
The man who was shot after kicking his way through two glass doors into the lobby of Fox 5 has been ordered held without bond, after a judge found probable cause in his burglary case.
WASHINGTON — A D.C. judge has found probable cause in the burglary case against the man who was shot by a security guard after kicking his way into the Fox 5 building.
A police detective described George Lee Odemns III trying to gain access to the station on Oct. 22, initially speaking through an intercom. When he was told he couldn’t enter, detective Victor dePeralta said Odemns “donkey-kicked both doors” — locked glass doors leading to a vestibule and the station lobby.
When ordered to stop by two station security guards, Odemns was shot in the chest. He walked into court without assistance on Thursday.
During cross-examination from public defender Lillian Fabela Miller, dePeralta said Odemns was unarmed, and made no threats once he had entered the lobby, but “kept his hands in his pockets,” before being shot.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Maryam Adeyloa said Odemns had a history of sending emails, making phone calls and showing up at Fox 5, which is located on Wisconsin Ave. NW.
After that, Fox sent Odemns a cease and desist letter, although Fabela Miller said there’s no proof her client received the order to stay away.
Fabella Miller said the September 2017 email wasn’t addressed solely to Fox, but also other news organizations.
Hermann also said she had questions about whether Odemns has “mental health needs that aren’t being met.” His lawyer said Odemns had an upcoming meeting with a psychiatrist.
ROCHELLE (WREX) — The largest craft distillery in the state of Illinois is now open and it’s located in the Stateline.
Kennay Farms Distilling held its grant opening Thursday. The distillery held a ribbon cutting ceremony and a public reception. The distillery will offer tours on Friday and Saturday to celebrate the grand opening.
The Kennay family turned the former iconic Hub Theater into a modernized distillery over the past thee years. In October 2018, the family broke ground on another expansion of it’s distillery, called the Rick House which will be used to store it’s homemade product.
The Rick House is located just steps away from the former hub theater and will be able to house up to 5,000 barrels of homemade whiskey and bourbon. The close proximity will allow the distilled alcohol to travel through tubes to make it’s way over to the new 16,000 square foot building to be bottled and barreled.

Leicester trio Jamie Vardy, Riyad Mahrez and N'Golo Kante have been named on the six-man shortlist for the PFA Players' Player of the Year award.
They are joined by Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil, West Ham midfielder Dimitri Payet and Tottenham striker Harry Kane.
Kane is also in contention to retain the Young Player of the Year award he won 12 months ago and is named alongside Spurs team-mate Dele Alli.
The winners for each category will be announced on Sunday, 24 April.
Leicester's remarkable rise to the top of the Premier League, seven points clear of Tottenham, has seen three of their best players rewarded for their fine form this term.
Vardy has scored 21 league goals and made six assists, while playmaker Mahrez has contributed 16 goals and 11 assists.
Frenchman Kante has earned widespread praise for his performances as a defensive midfielder, making more tackles (146) and interceptions (134) than any other player in the Premier League this season.
England striker Kane is the top-flight's leading scorer with 22 goals, German Ozil has provided a league-leading 18 assists and Payet has enjoyed a superb debut season, scoring nine goals.
The award was won by Chelsea midfielder Eden Hazard last season.
Everton duo Romelu Lukaku and Ross Barkley, Stoke goalkeeper Jack Butland and Liverpool midfielder Philippe Coutinho have all been named on the Young Player of the Year shortlist.
Last year's Women's Players' Player of the Year, Chelsea's Ji So-Yun, is in the running for this year's award, alongside team-mates Hedvig Lindahl and Gemma Davison, Sunderland's Beth Mead and Izzy Christiansen of Manchester City.
Some of the more than two dozen questions special counsel Robert Mueller sent to President Donald Trump to answer are problematic in a legal sense, Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani said Thursday.
Giuliani spoke with The Washington Post about the list of questions for which Trump could submit answers as soon as Friday.
"There are some that create more issues for us legally than others," Giuliani told the Post. The former New York City Mayor called some of the questions "unnecessary" and others "possible traps."
"We might consider some as irrelevant," Giuliani added.
Trump and his legal team met for more than four hours on Monday and an additional hour-and-a-half Wednesday night, according to the Post.
Mueller's team is investigating whether the Trump campaign had an improper relationship with the Russians in order to defeat Democrat Hillary Clinton two years ago. Giuliani said the questions did not include a hard deadline for submitting answers, but they could be finished by the end of the week.
It was reported Tuesday that Mueller's questions centered on things such as the infamous 2016 Trump Tower meeting between Donald Trump Jr., members of the Trump campaign, and several Russians.
Mueller's team is allegedly working on its final report about Russian interference in 2016 and whether the Trump campaign participated in that.
A retired garda told a court on Friday that he had made a complaint to gardaí about a serious assault on him at the scene of an eviction at Falsk, Strokestown, Co Roscommon, last December.
There were angry scenes at Castlerea District Court after a Donegal man charged with violent disorder at Falsk, some days after the eviction, was remanded in custody after four independent sureties were deemed unacceptable.
Earlier a crowd of about 20 anti-eviction protesters had gathered outside Harristown District court in advance of the appearance there of two defendants charged separately with offences at Falsk some days after the eviction.
Kevin Taylor, a retired Garda with an address at Dublin road, Longford, was one of four people who had offered to provide €5,000 as an independent surety in the case of PJ Sweeney (54) from High Cairn Ramelton, Co Donegal, who is charged with violent disorder at Falsk on December 16th last.
Judge Marie Keane was told that the High Court had approved bail for Mr Sweeney on Thursday, subject to a number of strict conditions.
After his case was dealt with first at Harristown court beside Castlerea prison, on Friday morning and later at Castlerea District Court, Mr Sweeney was remanded in custody. He is due to appear in Harristown District Court on January 25th.
Separately Martin O’Toole (54) from Stripe Irish Town, Claremorris, Co Mayo, was remanded in custody until February 1st after appearing at Harristown court charged with burglary and trespass at Falsk, Strokestown, on December 16th last.
When his case was called counsel Morgan Shelley, instructed by solicitor Phelim O’Neill, said he wanted to flag an issue . He said there would be difficulties with Judge James Faughnan dealing with the case as solicitors acting for Judge Faughnan and his wife had entered into legal correspondence wth Mr O’Toole. Judge ...
In relation to Mr Sweeney’s case Judge Keane was told that his solicitor Alan Gannon had learned on Friday morning that gardaí had difficulty with the proposed independent surety mentioned in the High court documents who was willing to put up €5,000.
Sgt Patrick McGirl said this was a sensitive issue on which he did not want to elaborate, as that could be “prejudicial to our investigation”.
Mr Gannon said he felt his client was being “boxed into a corner”.
The defendant’s long-term partner, Sandra Roulston, told the court that she was willing to be the independent surety. She said she and the accused had five children together aged 11 to 30.
Judge Keane questioned the meaning of the term “independent” surety and asked how a spouse, long-term partner or child of an accused person could be deemed independent.
After she refused to accept Ms Roulston the case was referred to a later sitting of Castlerea district court where two more people who offered to be the independent surety were rejected. Joseph McCarron from Diamond, Dungloe, who had provided a printout of his bank statement, was rejected after Sgt McGirl said it was €...
Kevin Taylor confirmed that he had made a complaint to gardaí on December 12th about an alleged assault on him at Falsk on December 11th, the date of the eviction there. He described it as a “serious, serious assault causing bodily harm”.
He agreed that the alleged offence committed by Mr Sweeney also related to the same address at Falsk, Strokestown.
Asked how he was aware of this location, the retired Garda said he was aware of the people living there.
He told the court that he knew Mr Sweeney as they both deal in horses.
When the case resumed Judge Keane said Mr Taylor had made a complaint in relation to an incident which she believed was “tangential” to the incident involving the accused and she would not accept him as an independent surety.
She remanded Mr Sweeney in custody to Harristown court on January 25th.
An additional half million Iraqis died because of war and occupation between 2003 and 2011 according a new survey based on more rigorous research than those carried out in the past.
The study, which is the result of a collaboration between researchers from the US, Canada and Iraq, estimates that 460,800 more Iraqis died during that period than would have done normally. Sixty per cent of the deaths were violent, with the remaining 40 per cent due to indirect causes linked to the collapse of infrast...
The casualty figures for Iraqi civilians has been a subject of furious debate since the early days of the US occupation with the US army at first claiming that it was not counting Iraqi dead in a vain attempt to avoid the same controversy over body count as had happened in Vietnam.
Supporters of the US-led invasion appeared to consider that a lower figure for fatalities, even if it was over 100,000, justified the war while its critics believed that a higher number showed that the conflict had brought excessive and unnecessary suffering to Iraqis.
The survey conducted in 2011 is based on 2,000 randomly selected households who were asked about births and deaths in their family since 2001. All adults in each household were asked about deaths of siblings. A purpose was to compare the death rate post 2003 with the rate in the 26 months before the war and thereby wor...
It remains unclear how far this type of study can be conducted in a country like Iraq in which government institutions had been degraded by sanctions since 1990 and all figures are suspect. Working out the death rate depends on assumptions about Iraq’s population which is not precisely known but is estimated to be 33 m...
The survey is complicated by the large migration of Iraqis at its height in 2006-8 when many Iraqis fled to safer parts of their own country and up to a million took refuge in Syria while others fled to Jordan and Egypt. The survey estimates an extra 56,000 deaths were no counted due to migration though it is difficult...
During the 13 years of severe sanctions before the war public health had already sharply declined in Iraq because of a falling standard of living and lack of medical facilities. After 2003 many doctors fled because they were a prime target for kidnappers and Iraqis often travelled to Syria and Jordan seeking medical at...
There were great differences in comparative safety in Iraq during the decade in which the US had troops in the country up to the end of 2011. The northern three Kurdish provinces were stable and safe and violence was less continuous in the Shia south of the country. Sectarian violence between Sunni and Shia was at its ...
