In the news (ITN) is the section on the main page dedicated to Wikipedia articles recording notable recent events. While Wikipedia is not a news site, ITN displays up to date encyclopedic articles that include recent events which are usually important on an international level. Notable military related events naturally have a high priority in ITN due to the global impact such an event can have. Such events may include notable battles, outbreaks or cessations of hostilities, creation or testing of notable new weapons etc.
As the name implies, ITN will feature only recent events, so if you are thinking about improving or creating an article about a not-so-recent event, Wikipedia:Did you know would be better for you. Also note that there is no guarantee the article will be accepted even if it meets all the requirements of updating and sourcing, since much depends on the event itself.
