Has America's mission in Iraq really ended?
In this week's Carry On Podcast SITREP, Generation Kill veteran Brad "Iceman" Colbert breaks down one of the biggest military transitions in over two decades. While the coalition mission in Iraq has officially concluded, American counter-ISIS operations continue elsewhere in the region. Brad explains why those are two very different missions and what success should actually be measured by.
Brad also analyzes Secretary Pete Hegseth's proposed military reforms, including autonomous warfare, force modernization, new command structures, and how these policies will affect the Marines and soldiers expected to execute them.
Finally, Brad examines the rapid rise of military robotics. From Ukraine's battlefield innovations to humanoid combat robots, he explains what today's technology can actually do—and what remains science fiction.
