Ones Ready Ops Brief 039: Daily Drop - 2 May 2025 (Stray Dogs and Space Force Special Ops...LFG!)
Welcome to the May 2nd Daily Drop, where Jared breaks down the absolute fever dream that is today’s Air Force memo—everything from piano-burning ceremonies to Space Force launching a special operations element (yes, you read that right). This episode’s a rollercoaster through military bureaucracy, geopolitical chaos, and some straight-up “wait… what?” moments.
We’re talking about 8,000 troops at the southern border, the Air Force testing robo-wingmen, Japan mad about a B-1 bomber blocking their runway, and Guam getting overrun by 25,000 stray dogs (no, seriously). Also, shoutout to the Air Force for helping control said dogs… because readiness, I guess?
Throw in canceled Iran nuclear talks, a new missile shield with a suspiciously biblical name (“Golden Dome”), and a nominee for Undersecretary getting roasted for telling the truth—and you’ve got an episode that proves the Pentagon never sleeps… but maybe should.

🔥 Key Takeaways:
- 🪖 Second military zone set up at the southern border—with warships. Because nothing says “border patrol” like a Navy destroyer.
- 📉 Military sexual assault reports down 4%… harassment up 1%. Progress?
- 🚀 Trump’s “Golden Dome” missile shield is happening. Prepare for biblical memes.
- 🤖 Collaborative Combat Aircraft testing kicks off—robo-wingmen inbound.
- 💸 $620 million more for Pacific military exercises. Taiwan gets $850M. Everyone else? Figure it out.
- ✈️ B-1B emergency landing shuts down Japan’s airport for 90 minutes. Oops.
- 🐶 Guam has 25,000 stray dogs and the Air Force is on cleanup duty.
- 🎹 Burning pianos is still a thing. And we’re here for it.
- 🌌 Space Force building its own special ops element. Time to spec ops… in space.
- 🛰️ Space Force drops $237 million on small satellites. Elon’s somewhere smiling.
- 💬 “Lessons from 1958” = AKA we’re still winging Taiwan policy.
