It all started out innocently enough. This is what the flyer for this event says: Actually, the start of the day was quite innocent. We gathered at 9:00 a.m. at the Friends of Plumas Wilderness office in Quincy, CA, to merge into carpool groups; as it was five or six vehicles showed up and four made the trip. Well, seven or eight vehicles if you count the two bicycles, mine and another. It was about an hour’s drive total to get to the Mud Lake Research Natural Area, Wheeler Unit, from Quincy, with about half of that on paved road. We climbed up from 3,500′ where we left the paved road to 6,500′ at the RNA. That three thousand feet in elevation change now plays hard on my ability to hike even a moderate climb. I made it, though, with a lot of encouraging smiles (and probably prayers, and probably “Oh dear God, don’t let him get a heart attack” (no worries about that)) from my companions. I’m afraid I’ve gotten rather lazy in my old age. I’m just not in good hiking shape any more. Here we are at our parking destination, listening to a briefing by one of...

Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Mykhailo Drapatyi, has launched a review of the personnel at the General Staff, according to Ukrainska Pravda, which cited a General Staff officer. Drapatyi reportedly plans to prioritize keeping officers with combat experience who are capable of leading troops. On Monday, September 28, Drapatyi gathered the heads of all structural divisions and clearly outlined his requirements, the officer told the outlet. The main message, according to the source, was that if the military is expected to change, those changes must begin at the top. The first step is this personnel audit. By Friday, October 2, division leaders are expected to submit information on officers and generals who have not participated in combat missions as part of battalions, brigades, corps or military groups since 2022. The officer clarified that while combat experience is not the only criterion of professionalism, the strategic headquarters cannot lose touch with the reality on the ground during wartime. He added that there will be no automatic dismissals. Some officers lacking current combat experience will be transferred to frontline units, with their positions filled by those with recent combat backgrounds. Officers who are already eligible for retirement have until the same date to decide on their future plans. The initiative has reportedly faced some resistance within the staff, with some trying to avoid transfers or seeking to resolve the issue through the Chief of the General Staff. Drapatyi has previously spoken out about false statements being spread online in the name of his family in an effort to sow distrust among Ukrainians. He described these as part of an information attack and thanked the Ministry of Digital Transformation for blocking networks of bots. In recent weeks, a series of alleged statements from Drapatyi's wife circulated on social media but were found to be completely fabricated. Additionally, the commander-in-chief has ordered the Military Law and Order Service to investigate the 225th Separate Assault Regiment following a journalistic investigation into possible illegal orders and violence, including possible instructions to disarm service members and shoot at them in the event of a retreat.
