| 2/14/26 | Air Superiority: It Takes More Fighters — Ep. 277 | Since the end of the Cold War, Air Force resource shortfalls have hit the fighter inventory hard.

| 1/10/26 | Charting a Path to Space Superiority: The Cross-Domain Imperative — Ep. 272 | Episode Summary: Space superiority is essential to U.S. national security. Achieving that requires the Department of War to conduct a review of space roles and missions to clarify institutional responsibilities and prioritize cross-domain capability investments. Jennifer Reeves discusses her recommendations from her new policy paper, Charting a Path to Space Superiority: The Cross-Domain Imperative, with Director of Global Space Operations, Maj. Gen. Anthony J. Mastalir. Bottom line: for decades, space has predominantly focused on terrestrial activities…now, it’s time to see how capabilities on earth can support warfighting demands on orbit.
