Independent strategic intelligence briefs grounded in publicly accessible evidence. Reporting, assessment, and uncertainty kept clearly separate.
The daily strategic SITREP will track Middle East escalation, Russia and Ukraine, China and Taiwan, global conflict indicators, and information operations. Our archive will open when each briefing has undergone source verification and editorial review.
Verified reports will appear here after editorial review.
U.S. policy and acknowledged operations, Iran, Houthis, maritime security and escalation.
Major military and diplomatic developments, NATO security and escalation indicators.
Exercises, maritime coercion, cross-strait developments and confrontation risks.
Direct great-power clashes, official nuclear posture changes and alliance decisions.
Documented influence operations, manipulated media and contested narratives.
Historical and officially acknowledged developments in special operations, modernization and doctrine. No sensitive real-time unit tracking.
We link to original reporting, official statements and primary documents. Claims are not treated as verified simply because they appeared in a briefing.
Every assessment distinguishes confirmed events, attributed claims, analytical inference and unresolved questions.
High, moderate and low confidence describe the strength of evidence, not the probability of an event.
Material errors are corrected visibly, with dates and explanations. Older versions are preserved where practical.

Sgt Andrew Cahill is a U.S. Marine Corps veteran who served with 1st Reconnaissance Battalion during the Iraq War and later with 1st Marine Special Operations Battalion (MARSOC). He founded Cahill Intelligence Cell to bring a military-informed perspective to publicly available reporting. His service informs the questions he asks, but independently verifiable evidence determines the answers.
Our mission is to make strategic developments understandable without sensationalism, false certainty or partisan advocacy.
In his memoir After the Storm, Sgt Andrew Cahill recounts his service as a Recon Marine during the Iraq War, the experiences that followed him home, and his journey through family, recovery, and finding purpose beyond military service. It is the personal story behind the perspective he brings to this independent intelligence publication.
