RT @TheIntelFrog: The USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) CSG is going to stick around 7th fleet for a short bit to participate in exercise KEEN SWORD that runs through the end of the month.
Japan to CENTCOM is ~2 weeks transit time.
With a flight deck packed with carrier-based aircraft, including stealthy fifth-generation F-35Cs, the USS Theodore Roosevelt pulled into Yokosuka, Japan, on Friday. Roosevelt is the first non-resident U.S. carrier to visit the key naval port, strategically located on the east side of Japan, in more than four years. Yokosuka is home to thee USS George Washington and America’s only forward-based Carrier Strike Group (CSG).
Roosevelt, which serves as the flagship of CSG 9, escorted by guided-missile cruiser USS Chosin and destroyer USS Decatur, completed the journey from San Diego in 19 days − maneuvering around a typhoon in the Western Pacific − and will participate in the upcoming combined exercise Keen Sword 27.
Meanwhile, the USS George H.W. Bush departed Thailand after a five-day port call and returned to the Middle East, and the USS Abraham Lincoln arrived home after a nearly eleven-month combat deployment.

Four Canadian Armed Forces members were killed and 39 injured during a training incident involving a fire at CFB Wainwright, Alberta, at about 4 p.m. MDT on Oct. 17, National Defence announced.
The dead service members, who were all assigned to 3rd Battalion, Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLI), have been identified as:
Sergeant Morgan Wong
Private Shaun Farrell
Private Aidan Goulding
Private Hayden Lykkemark
Members of 1 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group from 3 PPCLI were conducting live fire training as part of Exercise 'Apollo Shooter' when a fire ignited. High winds let it grow and spread very rapidly, overtaking the unit’s administrative area, according to the release.
Canadian National Defence has not said what started the fire, how the four were killed or how seriously the 39 were hurt. Major General Wade Rutland, commander of the 1st Canadian Division, said the military is working to understand the circumstances. General Jennie Carignan, Chief of the Defence Staff, said her thoughts are with the injured and their loved ones.

RT @unusual_whales: China has been quietly dumping U.S. debt.
Its holdings of U.S. Treasuries have fallen by more than half, from a record $1.32 trillion in 2013 to $618 billion in July, the lowest level since 2008.
The selling has been steady:
2022: -$173 billion
2023: -$51 billion
2024: -$57 billion
2026 so far: -$76 billion
China has fallen to the 3rd-largest foreign holder of U.S. debt, behind Japan and the UK.

RT @kylegriffin1: NBC News poll: 71% of U.S. adults think the country is on the wrong track.
For the first time in Trump's second term, 'right track' has sunk into the 20s.
Trump's approval is just 76% with Republican adults.
His approval is 21% with independents.
