Echelon Create, Tampa Hit and Run by Tommy McElroy

Welcome to The Turf Zone Podcast. This episode features the article “Give Yourself the Edge in Managing Sedges in Lawns and Landscape Beds” written by Jeffrey Derr and Adam Nichols. Sedges are major weed problems in turf and landscape ornamentals, as well as in crop production, including container- and field-grown nursery crops. Although there are annual sedges that occasionally are problems in these areas, the major problems are perennial species. Having an understanding of their taxonomy and life cycle will aid you when developing a control program. Sedges are monocots, which mean they have one seed leaf when they germinate. Grasses are also monocots, but they are in a different plant family, the Poaceae, as opposed to sedges, which are in the Cyperaceae or sedge family. So do not use the term “nutgrass” when referring to yellow nutsedge. Yellow nutsedge is not a grass and it is confusing to use a term that implies that it is a grass. You may ask “But what about broomsedge – isn't that a grass?” Well, yes, but that is a topic for another article! The distinction between grasses and sedges is especially important when discussing chemical control. Most of our sedge herbicides do not affect grasses and most of our grass herbicides do not affect sedges. Here is some help in separating grasses from sedges. Grasses have round or flattened stems, generally have a ligule (either a membrane or fringe of hairs where the leaf blade meets the leaf sheath), and have two-ranked leaves (leaves appear from 2 sides of the stem). Sedges have triangular stems (sedges have edges), lack a ligule, and the leaves are three-ranked (come out from the three sides of the stem. When I taught the weed science class, I would slip in yellow nutsedge when we had the lab on grass identification to see what the students would do with it. They obviously struggled with it when trying to fit yellow nutsedge into a grass key. Major species: The most common sedge infesting turfgrass and ornamental beds is yellow nutsedge, a weed that occurs throughout Virginia. Yellow nutsedge is a perennial that spreads primarily through vegetative means. Rhizomes produce roughly ¼ to ½ inch long, tan to brown tubers in summer and fall. These tubers overwinter and then send up new shoots in the spring. Above-ground parts of the plant die with a killing frost. Although yellow nutsedge will produce seed, it does not appear to be an important factor in the spread of this species. Leaves are shiny and yellowish-green. Purple nutsedge, similar to yellow nutsedge, also is an herbaceous perennial that spreads by tubers and rhizomes. Leaves of purple nutsedge tend to be darker green than yellow nutsedge. The tubers are the same size as those for yellow nutsedge but are dark brown or purplish brown. Tubers of purple nutsedge have a bitter taste while those of yellow nutsedge have a sweet or almond-like flavor. Purple nutsedge has a purplish-brown seedhead, while yellow nutsedge has a, well, yellow seedhead. In a turf situation, however, you probably will not see the seedheads of either species, especially in frequently mowed sites, but seedheads would develop in ornamental beds if uncontrolled. Yellow nutsedge leaf blades have a long, sharp point while purple nutsedge has a blunt tip. However, this also may not be apparent in a mowed situation. Why is it important to tell yellow from purple nutsedge? Certain herbicides, such as bentazon, mesotrione, metolachlor, and sulfentrazone, are more effective on yellow than purple nutsedge, while other products work well on both species, such as halosulfuron. Purple nutsedge is predominantly a problem in southeastern Virginia. Purple nutsedge is found predominantly in the South while yellow nutsedge is found essentially throughout the contiguous 48 states. Another sedge group that has spread rapidly in Virginia is kyllinga. To me, kyllinga in bloom looks like a green ball about the size of a pea sitting on 3 green leaves. There are both annual and perennial kyllinga species but the ones of greatest concern are the perennials green and false green kyllinga. Kyllingas will also have a triangular stem but lack the tubers formed by yellow and purple nutsedge. The perennial kyllingas spread not only by rhizomes, but readily by seed, probably a factor in their spread, as they can flower below mowing height. We grow false green kyllinga by seed for our trials. Chemical control for kyllingas is very similar to that for yellow nutsedge. The primary annual sedge that I have seen in turf areas is compressed sedge. Rice flatsedge is an occasional annual weed in container production. We had fragrant flatsedge come in as a contaminant in plants I purchased from down south and it has been the most aggressive grower of the sedge species we have evaluated. These three sedge species spread strictly by seed and thus are easier to control than perennial sedges. Factors favoring growth of sedges Sedges grow best in warm temperatures, moist soil, and high sunlight. I usually do not see yellow nutsedge emergence until early April or later, depending on how quickly it warms up in the spring. Yellow nutsedge grows best in May through August, similar to that for bermudagrass. The sedges are not necessarily that much more competitive than turf species, but they can rapidly take advantage of any openings in the canopy. I always remember one of our former students who was working on halosulfuron when it was being developed. He had trouble getting yellow nutsedge to establish in his Kentucky bluegrass plots but where he killed out the bluegrass for his plot borders, he saw a nice straight line of yellow nutsedge in the killed strips! One problem with managing yellow and purple nutsedge is tuber dormancy. Not all tubers send up shoots at the same time. Some shoots will emerge in May, some in June, and some in July. Also, some tubers may not send up shoots until the following year or two. Most tubers are viable for only 2 to 3 years, but some can remain viable for 10 years or longer. So if one has an established stand of yellow or purple nutsedge they wish to eradicate, it will be a multi-year project. Even if you achieve 100% control in a season, you probably will see nutsedge emergence the following year. Cultural Control of sedges Maintaining a thick stand of turf will help restrict the development of sedges, especially in the spring when nutsedge shoots emerge from the underground tubers. Overseed and fertilize cool season grasses in the fall to have a thick, competitive stand when sedges resume growth in late spring. Avoid scalping turf as this opens up the canopy for invasion by sedges, crabgrass, and other weed species. Control insect and disease pests to prevent thinning of the turf. Avoid overwatering turf and ensure proper soil drainage to prevent excessively wet soil. Monitor new sod or ornamental plant installations to insure that nutsedge or kyllinga has not hitchhiked along with the sod or nursery plants. Avoid any stress that adversely affects turf growth. I always think of a turf situation I was asked to investigate. They had applied fluazifop in a backpack sprayer for bermudagrass control in tall fescue. Not only was the bermudagrass controlled, so was the tall fescue. It is hard to determine a spot-treatment rate of fluazifop that will be safe in tall fescue. They reseeded and ran the irrigation frequently in summer, which led to an excellent stand of compressed sedge. The cause of the sedge infestation was the initial turf damage caused by improper herbicide application. Yellow nutsedge is hard to control using hand weeding as plants can break at the soil line, leaving the underground tubers and rhizomes. Tilling can spread the tubers, increasing the area of infestation. Chemical control of yellow nutsedge Learn the active ingredients listed in Tables 1 and 2 (available in the May/June 2026 issue of Virginia Turfgrass Journal on www.theturfzone.com). Some of these herbicides are sold in combination with other herbicides but I have only listed single active ingredient products that we have tested. There are a number of combination products that contain a sedge herbicide but also other herbicides for either broadleaf or grass control. For example, Sublime contains mesotrione, triclopyr, and dicamba. If you know the active ingredients, you will have a good idea as to how that combination product will perform. 1). Preemergence control in turf I frequently am asked about the availability of preemergence herbicides for nutsedge control. Actually, I prefer postemergence applications for yellow nutsedge control since this weed usually occurs in patches and thus fits well into spot-treatment programs. The problem with a preemergence application is that one would have to treat the entire lawn since the chemical must be applied prior to sedge emergence, unless one mapped out the previous year exactly where nutsedge was growing in a turf stand. The other reason favoring postemergence control of nutsedge is that few preemergence chemicals are available for turf use. Some postemergence herbicides, such as halosulfuron (SedgeHammer, Prosedge), mesotrione (Tenacity), and sulfentrazone (Dismiss) do have a degree of preemergence control, but I consider that a bonus following postemergence application. In bermudagrass, zoysiagrass, and certain other warm-season grasses, there are registrations for Pennant Magnum, Tower, and FreeHand for residual control of yellow nutsedge. These herbicides are much more effective on yellow compared to purple nutsedge and have generally short residual control. Also, we have seen delayed greenup with this group. However, we do use these products in ornamental beds. 2). Preemergence control in ornamental beds We do focus on preemergence herbicides in ornamental beds due to general lack of selective postemergence herbicides for overtop use. Products to consider include metolachlor (Pennant Magnum) and dimethenamid (Tower), both of which are oil-based formulations and thus should be applied as a directed spray, as well as the granular herbicide FreeHand, which contains dimethenamid plus pendimethalin. FreeHand is probably a good choice for most landscape bed situations. It can be applied to certain annual flowers (but not begonia) and a wide range of perennials and woody ornamentals. Apply in March or in early April in eastern Virginia and a little later in western parts of the state. Reapply about 6 or 8 weeks later to extend the length of yellow nutsedge control. 3). Postemergence control in cool-season turf I have divided up the herbicides to ones registered for use in tall fescue, Kentucky bluegrass, and perennial ryegrass and those registered for use in bermudagrass and zoysiagrass. I have listed the trade names we have tested. You may find other trade names for these active ingredients. The two tables cover the primary treatments available for sedge control in turfgrass. The same herbicides that are used for yellow nutsedge control in turf are utilized for kyllinga control. MSMA is not included as it is only registered for use in golf, sod production, and highway rights-of-way. Bentazon and sulfentrazone are the fastest-acting chemicals in this group, probably because they predominantly have a contact action. Injury symptoms in yellow and purple nutsedge can be seen within a few days of application, especially when applied under warm conditions. Repeat applications will generally be needed sooner for bentazon than the other products. For example, a second application of bentazon is generally made one to two weeks after the first one. We have found pyrimisulfan to be the slowest acting herbicide in this group of chemicals, with halosulfuron and imazosulfuron intermediate in speed of action. Of the pyrimisulfan products, we have seen better yellow nutsedge control with Arkon compared to Vexis. One benefit of mesotrione is that it can be used at seeding time or on young stands of cool-season turf. The other products generally can only be used on established turf. We did a trial last year looking at the impact of simulated rainfall on yellow nutsedge control in our rain-out shelter. When we irrigated one hour or one day after a sulfentrazone application, we saw effective yellow nutsedge control, but control decreased when irrigation was withheld until one or two weeks after application. It appears root uptake is an important component of sulfentrazone's activity against yellow nutsedge and thus rain or irrigation is needed within a week after application. Halosulfuron gave excellent yellow nutsedge control, even when irrigation was withheld until one or two weeks after application. We often grow yellow nutsedge in containers for control trials to supplement what we do in the field. In one container trial, we collected yellow nutsedge tubers that formed after herbicide application. Tubers were much smaller when plants were treated with halosulfuron or pyrimisulfan compared to sulfentrazone. This should result in less competitive yellow nutsedge in subsequent growing seasons. Bentazon and sulfentrazone are much more effective on yellow compared to purple nutsedge. This shows why we need to identify these two species. One needs to address purple nutsedge differently than yellow nutsedge. Halosulfuron and imazosulfuron are equally effective on yellow and purple nutsedge. Work by other researchers suggests imazosulfuron is the most effective treatment for false green kyllinga (Dr. Matthew Elmore, Rutgers University). We also have seen good control of false green kyllinga with imazosulfuron. Sulfentrazone is sold in combination with other herbicides, such as with prodiamine under the trade name Echelon. Sulfentrazone is a component of combination herbicides Surge, Q4Plus, and Avenue South but the concentration of sulfentrazone is lower than in Dismiss, resulting in more suppression than control of yellow nutsedge. One will generally add some type of adjuvant to these postemergence herbicides. Nonionic surfactants are generally recommended for most of these chemicals but check the label for instructions on adjuvant addition. Addition of a methylated seed soil or crop oil concentrate may increase toxicity of certain chemicals to nutsedge, but also may increase the potential for crop injury especially under hot, humid conditions. Read the product label for specific directions on adjuvant use. Postemergence control in bermudagrass and zoysia A number of the products are the same for warm-season grasses as for cool-season grasses, but mesotrione is not listed as it injures bermudagrass. Certain products used for removing cool-season grasses from warm-season turf are effective for controlling sedges are added, including flazasulfuron, sulfosulfuron, and trifloxysulfuron. Aethon was added to the warm-season list but not cool-season turf as it also contains penoxsulam, which can injure tall fescue. Along with pyrimisulfuron, imazaquin, flazasulfuron, sulfosulfuron, and trifloxysulfuron are slower-acting herbicides since they are systemic in plants and travel to the growing points. Imazaquin has been less effective in our trials for yellow nutsedge control than the other herbicides listed. Flazasulfuron, halosulfuron, sulfosulfuron, and trifloxysulfuron will control both yellow and purple nutsedge. Postemergence nutsedge control in ornamentals Around trees and shrubs, directed sprays of bentazon, halosulfuron, or sulfentrazone can be applied for yellow nutsedge control. Minimize contact with the leaves of the ornamentals. We do not have selective herbicides that can be sprayed overtop of ornamentals plants for sedge control. Nonselective herbicides, such as diquat, glufosinate, or glyphosate can be applied for sedge control if kept totally off ornamental plant leaves. A common question I receive is how to control emerged yellow nutsedge in liriope beds. We have seen injury from bentazon and halosulfuron, especially in variegated types, although plants outgrew the damage, and we observed reduced flowering from halosulfuron. Best to utilize preemergence applications of FreeHand to minimize the need for hand weeding or postemergence applications.

Use code AGENCY171 DEAR WLS Question from Boone I'm wanting to make a SBR 350 legend ar but I'm wondering what barrel lengths to consider. I'm not wanting to get too short for hunting up to 100 yards. What length would you recommend? And I'm also considering building a 6mm ARC at a later date and what length would be reasonable for it? Question from Adam B I have acquired some cool WWII flags and one has a bring back letter. It is in the old blue duplicator paper and was wrapped with a cover sheet. When i opened up what I thought was just a cover sheet, it was actually a very faint letter for the second flag. Do you know of any place that can restore or recover the document to give the second flag its story. NO Jeremy, I won't sell them to you. Question from Fisher Cat Hey knucklefucks, what are your opinions of the lever action rifle from Henry that's in 556/223? I've been debating on buying one over an ar15 because who doesn't love a lever action? Love the show Question from Dennis H Will Gideon optics be making the mediator 2 in with a green reticle? Also wondering if this would be a sufficient optic for a semi automatic shotgun? Question from Jon F Hey fellas! Long time listener, first time caller. I have a Marlin 1895 trapper in 45-70, this is my primary hunting rifle and I want to get a can for it. I'd like to keep it as light a possible and still be somewhat hearing safe. Also this will most likely stay on this gun, so direct mount (11/16-24). What do you think is my best option? I was leaning towards the dreadnought but I'm not stuck on it. Question from Andrew L I'm in process of printing and building an AR22 based on the CMMG conversion system. I'm also adding an FTN5 can and most likely, a 3-position safety. My question is, have any of you had experience with this kind of setup and what kind of reliability did it have? I'm just looking for something fun to build and shoot but also the secret stash of SHTF supply of files and parts. I'm curious to what you guys have printed or used, what kind of material, print settings etc that had worked best for you. I know there's been some talk about a dedicated show or segment for 3d printed stuff and I'd be fully onboard for that! I'd even contribute if I can or you need. Thanks for the great work! I listen while at work or my 1-hour commute to or from it. Notes: FUCK THE LIBTARDS… GUN INDUSTRY NEWS Second Amendment Foundation and Firearms Policy Coalition File Lawsuit Over National Park Service Federal Facilities Firearms Ban The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC), and a private citizen have filed a lawsuit challenging the National Park Service's ban on carrying firearms in federal facilities such as visitor centers, ranger stations, and maintenance buildings. The suit argues that this prohibition violates Second Amendment rights by forcing law-abiding visitors to disarm to comply with park registration rules, citing Supreme Court precedents like Bruen. SAF leaders describe the ‘sensitive places' restrictions as attempts to circumvent public carry protections. Springfield Armory Echelon 4.5″ Adopted by St. Louis County Police Department The St. Louis County Police Department has selected the Springfield Armory Echelon 4.5F 9mm striker-fired pistol as its new duty sidearm, citing positive feedback on performance, ergonomics, and slide features from transition training. The Echelon features a patent-pending Central Operating Group with a self-contained stainless steel chassis for quick grip module swaps, including three backstraps, and a Variable Interface System supporting over 30 optics footprints via self-locking pins. Fully ambidextrous controls benefit left-handed officers, with the department recommending it as a durable, configurable platform.0 Ruger Gen II American Rifles – Left-Handed Ranch Configuration Ruger has announced left-handed versions of its Gen II American bolt-action rifles, starting with the Ranch configuration. These feature improved stocks with adjustable length-of-pull and comb, a three-position safety, and Cerakote finishes. Chambered in straight-wall and intermediate calibers suited for hunting and short-barreled applications. MDT S90 SPUHR to V-Mount Adapter and M-LOK to V-Mount 90° Adapter for Send-It Gen2 Electronic Level MDT Sporting Goods has released two new V-Mount adapters for the Send-It Gen2 Electronic Level: the S90 SPUHR to V-Mount Adapter and the M-LOK to V-Mount 90° Adapter. These adapters enable integration with Spuhr mounts and M-LOK slots, allowing repositioning of the electronic level off the top rail for improved flexibility in precision rifle setups. They address mounting limitations caused by large optics, night vision, and thermals by expanding the V-Mount ecosystem. SK Customs Recreates Al Capone's ‘Sweetheart' Colt 1911 in Limited Edition of 200 Units SK Guns (SK Customs) has released a limited-edition recreation of Al Capone's iconic ‘Sweetheart' Colt 1911, chambered in .45 ACP with classic Government Model design.

The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the one-hundredth-and-forty-second episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience.' Hosted by MAJ David Pfaltzgraff, the BDE Executive Officer Observer-Coach-Trainer and MAJ Marc Howle, the Brigade Senior Engineer / Protection OCT for Brigade Command & Control (BDE HQ), on behalf of the Commander of Ops Group (COG). Today's guests are experts across JRTC: MSG Jared Cawthon as the BDE Fires Support NCOIC, MSG Randell Conway as the BDE Intelligence NCOIC OCT, both from BC2 (BDE HQ), and MAJ Lorenzo Evans is the Support Operations Plans Officer OCT for TF Sustainment (DSSB / LSB). This episode emphasizes the critical role of rehearsals within the MDMP and broader operations process, framing them as the bridge between planning and execution where units transform concepts into synchronized action. The discussion highlights that rehearsals are often the first thing sacrificed when time is constrained, yet they are the very mechanism that prevents plans from failing under the friction of combat. A full “rehearsal suite”—including combined arms, intelligence and fires, sustainment, and other functional rehearsals—serves to validate plans, confirm triggers, align resources, and ensure each warfighting function is nested in time and space. When executed properly, rehearsals expose gaps in planning, refine synchronization, and build the shared understanding necessary for units to mass effects in a complex, multi-domain fight. The conversation also highlights common challenges and best practices associated with rehearsals, emphasizing that they must be interactive, friction-focused events rather than scripted performances or “dog and pony shows.” Success depends on having the right participants—not just attendees—who can make decisions, contribute to problem-solving, and adapt the plan in real time. Leaders stress the importance of using proper fighting products, detailed terrain models, and enforcing simultaneity to identify conflicts that would otherwise go unnoticed. Ultimately, rehearsals are described as a forcing function that reveals weak planning, validates feasibility, and ensures that every echelon—from brigade to last-mile logistics—can execute with confidence when the operation begins.   Part of S13 “Hip Pocket Training” series.   For additional information and insights from this episode, please check-out our Instagram page @the_jrtc_crucible_podcast   Be sure to follow us on social media to keep up with the latest warfighting TTPs learned through the crucible that is the Joint Readiness Training Center.   Follow us by going to: https://linktr.ee/jrtc and then selecting your preferred podcast format.   Again, we'd like to thank our guests for participating.

Use code AGENCY171 GEAR CHAT Tool-Free Modularity on Modern Rifles The article discusses five situations where tool-free modularity enhances modern rifles. It emphasizes quick adjustments without tools for various scenarios. Specific manufacturers, models, prices, or retailers are not detailed. [Springfield Armory] Echelon with Aimpoint COA Springfield Armory's Echelon pistols are 9mm platforms available in 4.5F full-size (4.5-inch barrel), 4.0FC hybrid (full-size frame with compact slide), and 4.0C compact (4-inch barrel) variants, each factory-equipped with Aimpoint COA red dot optic. The optic features a 7075-T6 aluminum housing, 3.5 MOA dot, CR2032 battery with over five-year runtime, multiple brightness settings, and submersion rating to 25 meters. Slide integrates Aimpoint A-CUT interface with front hook and rear wedge mounting for low position and co-witness irons. [Primary Arms] SLx Compact 4-16x44mm FFP Rifle Scope – Illuminated ACSS Deka G2 Reticle (Nick) The SLx® 4-16x44mm FFP Rifle Scope extends the trusted SLx optic line into the mid-power precision space, delivering a versatile magnification range in a surprisingly compact footprint. At just 10.1 inches in length, this scope is purpose-built for agile, low-profile setups—ideal for designated marksman rifles, hunting carbines, or compact bolt guns. Its streamlined form factor doesn't come at the cost of performance, making it an excellent option for shooters who demand long-range capability without adding bulk.0 BULLET POINTS Kinetic Development Group SideLok Optic Mounts Kinetic Development Group reaffirms a disciplined approach to SideLok optic mount development, a quick-detach system for Picatinny rails using a tool-less push-button mechanism that ensures absolute return to zero and rock-solid stability. Made primarily from 6061 aluminum with black anodized finish, the series includes mounts for red dots, scopes (30mm/34mm), and risers, emphasizing precision engineering for reliable field performance. Specs vary by model, such as the 34mm Optic Mount at 9.4 oz or Aimpoint Micro mount at 2.7 oz. PSA Sabre Ultratech OTF The PSA Sabre Ultratech is an out-the-front (OTF) automatic knife manufactured by Palmetto State Armory in collaboration with Microtech, built on Microtech's flagship Ultratech platform. It features a 3.44-inch M390 blade with mixtape finish, lightweight aluminum handle, reversible pocket clip, and integrated glass breaker. Designed and manufactured in the USA, it offers smooth OTF deployment via side switch. Suppressor-Optimized Subsonic Ammunition Suppressor-optimized subsonic ammunition features bullets traveling under ~1,100 fps to avoid sonic cracks, maximizing sound suppression when paired with suppressors on firearms like those with threaded barrels. Key examples include .300 Blackout (subsonic 180-220-grain loads) and .338 ARC (subsonic 307-grain at 1,050 fps), ideal for stealthy or hearing-safe shooting in manually-operated rifles. Suppressors reduce muzzle blast but require subsonic ammo for full effect, with .338 ARC offering superior terminal energy over .300 Blackout out to 500 yards. NRA App The NRA App is a free digital application developed by the National Rifle Association for iOS and Android devices, designed to enhance member engagement through convenient access to resources like news, digital publications, local events, and member benefits. It features a digital NRA ID card for wallet integration, geolocation-based event discovery for training and competitions, and daily content including gun and gear reviews. As a software tool, it supports Second Amendment advocacy and shooting sports information on the go. Kinect Tool-Free M-LOK Mounting System by Kinetic Development Group The Kinect™ Series is a patented tool-free mounting system for M-LOK equipped rifles, utilizing a spring-loaded wedge mechanism for instant accessory installation and removal with a finger press. Internal locking wedges provide a secure, recoil-resistant interface comparable to traditional systems. It enhances modularity for quick rifle configurations without tools. Whiskey Two-Four Backpack 36 Developer's Pattern The Whiskey Two-Four Backpack 36 Developer's Pattern is a $1.00 PDF vector drawing download for a DIY backpack project with an approximate 11″ x 20″ main compartment, where volume depends on chosen depth. It requires user expertise in patterns and sewn products to convert the CAD PDF into a usable format, including decisions on zipper placement, shoulder strap connections, foam laminate strap binding, and load lifter locations. No support is provided with the purchase. GUN FIGHTS No one stepped into the arena this week. THE ALLEY Silencer Central Suppressors Coming Off ITAR Regulatory Win The X post from Silencer Central links to a blog announcing suppressors being removed from ITAR regulations, reducing export restrictions and red tape for manufacturers. This allows focus on innovation and international sales while benefiting traveling hunters and shooters. No specific product model is detailed in the page content. GOING BALLISTIC The Trace Adds New Board Members: Elizabeth Weinreb Fishman, Trymaine Lee, and Julia Turner (Savage) The Trace, an anti-gun media organization linked to Michael Bloomberg's Everytown for Gun Safety, announced three new board members on March 22, 2026: Elizabeth Weinreb Fishman (media strategist with Surgeon General ties), Trymaine Lee (journalist with shared awards), and Julia Turner (former Slate editor and L.A. Material co-founder). The article scrutinizes their backgrounds for credential exaggerations amid The Trace's efforts to expand anti-gun advocacy. No specific legal cases, bills, or jurisdictions are mentioned.0 Shall Not Be Infringed Act (Introduced by Rep. John McGuire) (Savage) The Shall Not Be Infringed Act, introduced by Rep. John McGuire (R-Virginia) on March 16, targets gun-free zones by allowing individuals harmed in such areas to sue the establishing government entities for damages. It defines gun-free zones as areas prohibiting public carry under federal, state, or local law and ties compliance to federal funding like Byrne-JAG and COPS grants. The bill aims to hold states and localities liable if victims were legally authorized to carry in their home state and could have mitigated harm. ATF Admits It's Still Enforcing Pistol Brace Rules — Even After the Rule Was Killed (Mock v. Garland) (Savage) Despite federal courts vacating the ATF's 2023 pistol brace rule nationwide in cases like Mock v. Garland, a recent DOJ filing in Texas v. ATF asserts continued enforcement of NFA short-barreled rifle provisions against certain braced pistols. The ATF claims this aligns with pre-rule statutory interpretations under the National Firearms Act and Gun Control Act. Gun owners face renewed concerns over potential felony prosecutions despite the rule's defunct status.2818 Michigan's Extreme Risk Protection Order Act: Report on 89% Ex Parte Gun Confiscations (Savage) A report reveals that 89 percent of Michigan's red flag law gun confiscations in 2025 occurred via ex parte orders without prior notice to the subject. Ex parte orders increased by more than 30 percent from 2024, with 459 such requests filed in 2025. The law allows seizure from subjects including minors and even third parties under an expansive definition of firearm possession. H.R. 556: Protecting Access for Hunters and Anglers Act – House Passage (Savage) The U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 556, the Protecting Access for Hunters and Anglers Act, on March 23, 2026. The bill prohibits the Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture from imposing blanket restrictions on lead ammunition or fishing tackle on federal lands without scientific support and consistency with state laws. It now advances to the Senate. REVIEWS Before we let you go – JOIN GUN OWNERS OF AMERICA We'd love if you supported the show, join Agency 171 at agency171.com.

The panel breaks down the relationship between the security zone, the main battle area, and the brigade rear area, emphasizing that many defensive shortcomings stem from poorly defined boundaries—such as the forward edge of the battle area (FEBA), no-penetration lines, and rear area limits. Leaders discuss how units often conduct map reconnaissance without validating terrain on the ground, resulting in shallow defenses, limited depth (often only 500–1000 meters), and battle positions chosen based on where units culminate rather than where terrain is most advantageous. A recurring theme is that successful defense requires deliberate terrain analysis during planning, early reconnaissance, and continuous refinement between brigade and battalion to ensure obstacle plans, engagement areas, and maneuver graphics are coherent and mutually supportive.    The conversation also highlights common friction points across warfighting functions, particularly the integration of obstacles and fires. Units frequently fail to mass effects, synchronize mortars with field artillery, or prioritize high-payoff targets such as enemy breaching assets during defensive operations. Adjacent unit coordination is often weak, resulting in disconnected company engagement areas rather than a mutually supporting battalion fight. The panel reinforces that effective defense is not passive; it demands offensive action within the defense—shaping fires, clearly defined triggers, deliberate obstacle emplacement, and disciplined reporting. Ultimately, the episode underscores that depth, mutual support, and integration across maneuver, fires, engineers, and sustainment are what transform a static position into a resilient and lethal main battle area capable of stopping the enemy.        Part of S13 “Hip Pocket Training” series.   For additional information and insights from this episode, please check-out our Instagram page @the_jrtc_crucible_podcast   Be sure to follow us on social media to keep up with the latest warfighting TTPs learned through the crucible that is the Joint Readiness Training Center.   Follow us by going to: https://linktr.ee/jrtc and then selecting your preferred podcast format.   Again, we'd like to thank our guests for participating.

     In this episode of WarDocs, we sit down with Dr. Franklin Sechriest, a former US Navy   Commander and orthopedic surgeon, to explore the high-stakes world of Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) missions. Drawing from his extensive experience, Dr. Sechriest details the unique challenges of performing complex surgeries aboard naval vessels while responding to some of the most devastating natural disasters of the 21st century, including the 2004 Indonesian tsunami and the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. He provides a fascinating comparison between the capabilities of massive hospital ships like the USNS Mercy—floating Level 1 trauma centers—and the tactical agility of amphibious assault ships like the USS Bataan.     Dr. Sechriest shares gripping personal anecdotes, including the life-saving resuscitation and surgery of a young Indonesian boy, which highlight the profound human impact of military medicine. Beyond the operating room, the conversation delves into the strategic importance of these missions. Dr. Sechriest explains how medical teams project "soft power," strengthening diplomatic ties and winning hearts and minds in regions where traditional military force is not the answer. He also discusses his collaboration with the Naval Health Research Center to analyze surgical data, revealing how past missions have reshaped current staffing models to better care for pediatric and geriatric populations often found in disaster zones.      Looking ahead, the discussion covers the potential of Artificial Intelligence to reduce provider burnout and the advent of smart orthopedic implants. Finally, Dr. Sechriest offers timeless advice on leadership, emphasizing that the most effective leaders in chaotic environments are those who view themselves primarily as servants to their team and their patients. This episode offers a comprehensive look at how Navy Medicine combines compassion, logistics, and surgical excellence to bring hope to the darkest corners of the globe.   Chapters (00:00-04:46) Introduction to Dr. Sechriest and the Path to Navy Orthopedics (04:46-14:55) Hospital Ships, Warships, and Life-Saving Stories from the Tsunami (14:55-27:14) Logistical Challenges, Ethical Dilemmas, and Data-Driven Improvements (27:14-36:12) Medical Diplomacy as Soft Power and Training for Future Conflicts (36:12-48:29) The Future of AI in Medicine and Leadership Advice for Aspiring Officers   Chapter Summaries (00:00-04:46) Introduction to Dr. Sechriest and the Path to Navy Orthopedics The episode begins with Dr. Sechriest explaining his motivation for combining a medical career with military service, viewing it as the ultimate form of servant leadership. He describes his journey from general surgery to becoming an "accidental orthopedic surgeon" and how he found himself deployed on major humanitarian missions shortly after joining the Navy. (04:46-14:55) Hospital Ships, Warships, and Life-Saving Stories from the Tsunami This section distinguishes the medical capabilities between the massive USNS Mercy hospital ship and the tactical USS Bataan amphibious assault ship. Dr. Sechriest shares a moving anecdote about a young Indonesian boy who was airlifted to the ship in critical condition, illustrating how Navy assets can provide hope and advanced trauma care where absolutely none existed. (14:55-27:14) Logistical Challenges, Ethical Dilemmas, and Data-Driven Improvements The conversation shifts to the complexities of operating in disaster zones, including language barriers, continuity of care, and resource allocation. Dr. Sechriest details his work with the Naval Health Research Center to analyze mission data, which helped transition staffing models from World War II-era combat configurations to robust teams capable of treating diverse pediatric and geriatric populations. (27:14-36:12) Medical Diplomacy as Soft Power and Training for Future Conflicts Dr. Sechriest explains how humanitarian missions serve as a vital tool for "soft power" in the post-9/11 era, using compassion to improve global security and international relations. He also discusses how the chaotic, resource-constrained environments of natural disasters provide unparalleled training for medical officers preparing for combat operations. (36:12-48:29) The Future of AI in Medicine and Leadership Advice for Aspiring Officers In the final segment, the discussion explores how Artificial Intelligence can reduce administrative burdens for physicians and how smart implants will revolutionize orthopedic recovery. Dr. Sechriest concludes with advice for the next generation of military medical professionals, encouraging them to seek out tough assignments and lead with humility. Take Home Messages Medical Diplomacy as Soft Power: Humanitarian assistance missions are a critical strategic tool that allows the military to project goodwill and strengthen international alliances without firing a shot. By providing high-level medical care to foreign populations during crises, military medicine acts as a stabilizing force that can improve global security and alter negative perceptions of the United States in sensitive geopolitical regions. Data-Driven Operational Readiness: The analysis of surgical logs and patient encounters from previous disaster relief missions is essential for modernizing military medical responses. Research has shown that historical staffing models based on combat trauma were often insufficient for natural disasters, leading to a new focus on deploying with the right mix of pediatric and geriatric resources to match the actual needs of the affected population. The Distinction Between Naval Medical Assets: Understanding the difference between Echelon 3 hospital ships and Echelon 2 casualty receiving and treatment ships is vital for logistical success. While hospital ships offer comprehensive, prolonged care similar to a land-based trauma center, amphibious warships provide essential damage control surgery and superior air and sea transport capabilities to move casualties efficiently. Servant Leadership in Chaos: Leading effectively in the high-stress, chaotic environment of a disaster zone requires a mindset of humility and service rather than authority. The most successful medical officers are those who maintain focus on the mission, prioritize the well-being of their team, and acknowledge that they must rely on the collective expertise of others to solve complex logistical and ethical problems. AI and the Future of Orthopedics: Advanced technologies, particularly Artificial Intelligence and smart implants, are poised to revolutionize military and federal medicine by improving efficiency and outcomes. AI has the potential to alleviate provider burnout by automating non-clinical tasks, while sensor-embedded implants will provide objective data on patient recovery, allowing for proactive interventions and better long-term care.   Episode Keywords WarDocs, Military Medicine, Navy Medicine, Orthopedic Surgery, Humanitarian Assistance, Disaster Relief, USNS Mercy, USS Bataan, Tsunami Relief, Haiti Earthquake, Medical Diplomacy, Naval Health Research Center, Trauma Surgery, Global Health, Military Leadership, Soft Power, Navy Doctor, Hospital Ship, Warship Medicine, AI in Healthcare, Disaster Medicine, Servant Leadership Hashtags #MilitaryMedicine, #NavyDoctor, #OrthopedicSurgery, #DisasterRelief, #HumanitarianAid, #USNavy, #MedicalLeadership, #WarDocs   Honoring the Legacy and Preserving the History of Military Medicine The WarDocs Mission is to honor the legacy, preserve the oral history, and showcase career opportunities, unique expeditionary experiences, and achievements of Military Medicine.

The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the one-hundredth-and-twenty-second episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience.' Hosted by MAJ Marc Howle, the Brigade Senior Engineer / Protection Observer-Coach-Trainer, and MAJ David Pfaltzgraff, BDE XO OCT (formerly the BDE S-3 Operations OCT), from Brigade Command & Control (BDE HQ) on behalf of the Commander of Ops Group (COG). Today's guests are senior non-commissioned officers of JRTC: MSG Jared Cawthon, MSG Randell Conway, and SFC Corey Rinn. MSG Cawthon is the BDE Fires Support NCOIC and MSG Conway is the BDE Intelligence NCOIC OCT in Brigade Command & Control (BDE HQ). SFC Rinn is the Explosive Ordinance Disposal Senior OCT for TF-5 (BDE Engineer BN).   This episode focuses on leadership through the deliberate and effective utilization of Noncommissioned Officers at echelon, emphasizing that success in LSCO is fundamentally leader business, not officer business versus NCO business. A central theme is the NCO's role in identifying and mitigating friction before it manifests in execution. Drawing on repeated JRTC observations, the discussion highlights how experienced NCOs sharpen plans through rehearsals, checklists, and anticipation of second- and third-order effects—time, distance, sustainment, displacement, and execution risk—that are often missed in rushed or staff-centric planning. When NCOs are fully integrated into MDMP, mission analysis, COA development, and rehearsals, staffs are more synchronized, plans are more executable, and formations adapt faster once friction is encountered.    The episode also addresses persistent gaps in how formations employ NCOs, particularly on staffs. Too often, senior NCOs are relegated to security or administrative tasks instead of being empowered contributors to planning, targeting, and cross–warfighting function integration. The panel underscores disciplined initiative, delegation of authority, and clear roles and responsibilities as decisive leadership practices that unlock NCO potential. Effective formations deliberately train NCOs to operate confidently in planning environments, leverage their experience to challenge assumptions, and serve as connective tissue between operations, intelligence, fires, sustainment, and protection. The consistent takeaway is clear: units that empower NCOs as planners, synchronizers, and leaders—not just executors—operate with less friction, greater cohesion, and higher combat effectiveness in the hardest fights.    Part of S13 “Hip Pocket Training” series.   For additional information and insights from this episode, please check-out our Instagram page @the_jrtc_crucible_podcast   Be sure to follow us on social media to keep up with the latest warfighting TTPs learned through the crucible that is the Joint Readiness Training Center.   Follow us by going to: https://linktr.ee/jrtc and then selecting your preferred podcast format.   Again, we'd like to thank our guests for participating.

Double Tap Episode 441 This episode of Double Tap is brought to you by: Blue Alpha, Midwest Industries, Gideon Optics, Primary Arms, Die Free Co., and Mitchell Defense   Welcome to Double Tap, episode 441! Your hosts tonight are Jeremy Pozderac, Aaron Krieger, Nick Lynch, and me Shawn Herrin, welcome to the show! Text Dear WLS or Reviews +1 743 500 2171 - Dear WLS ThreeRaccoons InnaTrenchCoat - What programs do Shawn, Nick and Savage use for 3D modeling? Are they subscription based or free? I would like to dive into 3D modeling but don't really want to pay a subscription. A one-time fee would be okay i suppose. Tuul Steele - "I was thinking Hard the other day about that long, cylindrical reciprocating part of an Assault Railer - 15 and it got me curious (bi-curious) about steel selection for a BCG. YES, I know all steel is not created equally Jeremy, but in the case of the BCG which does the cast recommend and which is just more expensive for no reason. Not talking coatings, although you can add that to the pot, I am mainly referring to the materials; Carpenter 158 aka "The Thing", 9310 aka "The Beverly Hills BCG", or S7 Tool Steel aka "The Audi Tool". Love the show and the cast. You guys are keeping me topside on long days. Keep up the good work. Also just buy Aaron a huffy with a baseball card in the spokes and call it a day. Toss in a bottle of Malort for the basket on the handle bars. #WLSisLife #shootstraight" Plow Guy Dave - What do you think will be the cool, new trend at SHOT Show this year? Do you think that there will be an influx of NFA stuff like SBR's, SBS's and suppressors since the One Big Beautiful Bill will be active? I know you guys don't go to SHOT anymore, but what would you like to see come out? John B - So I was listening to the AR-15 podcast and Dauly keeps saying you need to buy mags in “generational wealth” volume. What is it that you guys think is the appropriate number of mags to have for your rifle and pistol? Do I really need to have 10 mags minimum? Gus Gus - Hello people and Aaron, What one thing do you each think we do or use or teach in the firearms space that we will one day look back on and say “wow, I can't believe we let that happen” (besides letting Aaron speak). Could be anything from gear to training to lawfare practices. For myself, I think open emitter red dots on concealed carry guns will be looked at as weird and genX level fuddery and anyone who uses one will always feel like explaining it away like Jeremy does with iron sights. Thanks guys and Aaron Unfit for Human Consumption - What software would you recommend for tracking a gun collection? I have (only) a few dozen guns, and have been using "NMCollector" since about 2005, and it meets my needs. It is now $15/year which is very reasonable, and a "lifetime" activation is less than 85-bucks. A quick search on the interwebs for alternatives reveals "ArmoryBook" which is $200/yr for up to 50 records, and "GunTrack" which is $100/yr for up to 100 records; both are way over budget for my needs. Are there other softwares I'm not aware of that you'd recommend? I don't keep pictures generally, and all I really need to track is make, model, caliber, description, year & country of manufacture, source, cost, appraised value, etc for insurance records and for my wife to cash in on this "401(G)uns" fund when I'm gone (hopefully not for several decades). Or should I just create an Excel spreadsheet? Sunshine Shooter - Forced Reset triggers seem to be a commercially available thing now, but I'm having trouble keeping track of what is out there. What forced reset triggers/super safeties do you recommend I look into getting for a poor man's MP5 I'm planning on putting together? Matthew P - Just bought a 5 inch VFM-9 from Foxtrot Mike. What accessories would you add to this if you are going to keep it as a backpack gun? Suppressor? Flip up sights and/or red dot/prism? sling? anything else?   The winner of this week's swag pack is Gus Gus!
