Team Strategist is taking a break to celebrate a public holiday in the nation’s capital (currently illuminated like the set of Tron). But we’ll be back tomorrow with our usual line-up of analysis and updates.

Until then, for some good reads, check out David Lang’s ASPI Suggests, Peter Jennings on air power (part 1 and part 2), Andrew Davies on America’s new long range strike-bomber, and Mitchell Yates on the future of the Australian Army.
