Nimble ultra (206 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. On February 28, 2026, the United States and Israel launched Operation Epic Fury, initiating the most significant American military action in the Middle East in two decades. In the weeks that followed, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed, the Strait of Hormuz closed to commercial shipping, THAAD interceptor stocks were drawn down at an unprecedented rate, and Congress confronted questions of war powers, cost, and nuclear consequence that it had not faced in a generation. By June 17, 2026, the parties had initialed a Memorandum of Understanding in Islamabad; six days later, Iranian forces struck Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar in what officials characterized as a "compliance test." The situation as of this publication date remains unresolved. This documentary edition assembles the three most authoritative nonpartisan analyses of the conflict available to Congress. CRS R48887 (U.S. Conflict with Iran, updated March 26, 2026, Version 2) provides the foundational overview: strategic context, the February 28 opening strikes and their stated objectives, early battle damage assessments, the humanitarian dimensions of closure of the Strait of Hormuz, projected economic effects, and the key questions before Congress regarding authorization, appropriations, and post-conflict reconstruction. CRS IN12678 (U.S.-Iran Ceasefire and Negotiations: Assessment and Issues for Congress, updated May 13, 2026, Version 5) covers the April 7 ceasefire declaration, the April 11-12 Islamabad talks, the terms of the draft Memorandum of Understanding, the disputed Iranian compliance record, and the diplomatic impasse through mid-May - including the unresolved question of Iran's nuclear enrichment activities. CRS IF12645 (The Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) System, updated June 23, 2026, Version 15) addresses THAAD's central and unexpected role in regional missile defense during Operation Epic Fury: the system's intercept performance and its widely debated effectiveness rate, the depletion of the XAL-1 interceptor stockpile to levels that prompted an emergency procurement supplemental, and the system's planned transfer from the Missile Defense Agency to the Army as the operational lesson of the conflict. All three reports are works of the United States Government and are in the public domain under 17 U.S.C. Section 105. They are reproduced here in facsimile, without alteration. Congressional Research Service reports are written for Members of Congress and congressional staff and are intended to be objective, authoritative, and nonpartisan. They do not represent the official views of Congress. The editorial apparatus of this edition includes a Publisher's Note explaining Nimble Ultra's documentary mission; an introduction to CRS report formats (R, IN, and IF designations); an Editorial Introduction providing a chronological overview of the conflict from February 28 through June 24, 2026, incorporating the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding, the June 21 Burgenstock implementation talks, and the Al Udeid attack of June 23; a Document Guide providing a concise explainer for each of the three reports, including its type, author, date, subject, and significance; a Caveats and Counterpoints section gathering the principal uncertainties and contested claims - temporal limits, disputed intercept rates, unresolved nuclear negotiation outcome, uncertain durability of the ceasefire, and the selection bias inherent in any single-source intelligence account; an Operational Glossary covering approximately 30 military, diplomatic, and intelligence terms from ACS through THAAD and war powers; a Persons and Organizations Index; and a Source and Document Table.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. GAO-26-107904 examines how the National Nuclear Security Administration plans for the science, technology, and engineering facilities and workforce that support stockpile stewardship and modernization. These capabilities allow NNSA to assess and sustain the nuclear weapons stockpile without relying on nuclear explosive testing and also support other nuclear-security missions.GAO reports that NNSA's July 2024 Integrated ST&E Plan identified and prioritized 46 facility investments over a 20-year period. The portfolio includes sustainment and enhancement of existing facilities as well as new construction. GAO found that NNSA collected initial workforce and programmatic investment estimates but did not fully assess those needs and had no plan to complete such an assessment at the time of the review.Cost maturity varies across the portfolio. The fiscal year 2026 budget justification contained the most detailed information for seven high-mission-importance, near-term projects, while many other proposed investments remained in early planning or involved sustainment work. GAO also found that the integrated assessment had not been regularly updated even as priorities evolved. It recommended analysis of workforce and programmatic needs and regular updates to the facility assessment; NNSA outlined planned actions addressing both recommendations.Highlights and Letter. These sections state the congressional mandate, principal findings, methodology, and recommendations. The highlights page is an overview rather than a substitute for the supporting chapters.Background. The report maps the nuclear security enterprise, describes stockpile-stewardship ST&E areas, and explains the offices and acquisition processes relevant to facility planning.Facility, workforce, and programmatic planning. GAO evaluates the 46-investment prioritization and identifies the difference between facility planning and the less-complete assessment of workforce and programmatic needs.Cost information. The report distinguishes projects with budget-level estimates from early-stage or sustainment investments whose costs are less mature.Update process, conclusions, and recommendations. GAO explains why a static integrated assessment may lose decision value as technology, mission, and congressional priorities change.Appendixes and agency comments. The investment table, estimating-framework assessment, methodology, and Department of Energy response supply the evidentiary detail behind the findings.Documentary status. A record shows what an agency received, recorded, analyzed, or asserted at a particular time. It does not by itself establish that every underlying statement is accurate or that the agency adopted every view appearing in the file.Selection and survival. This edition reproduces the released source as received. It cannot establish what related records were never created, were destroyed, remain withheld, or sit outside the releasing agency's search and release process.Redaction and reproduction. Redactions, illegible passages, blank pages, handwriting, stamps, and scanning defects are evidentiary features of the source. They are preserved. Readers should not infer missing language from surrounding text.Temporal limits. Findings, estimates, organizational names, and management responses describe the period covered by the source. Later events may change the operational picture without changing the historical value of the record.A prioritized investment is not an appropriation or construction commitment. Projects can change scope, sequence, cost, or mission priority through planning, budgeting, authorization, and appropriations.
