Logistics is fundamentally about creating options. ▶ This empowers organizations to operate more effectively, efficiently, while increasing flexibility. ▶ These options help respond to changing demand, seize opportunities and consistently deliver value to customers. ▶ Working in logistics is fun if you enjoy problem solving and making a tangible difference. The Marine Corps recently buried Gen Al Gray with full military honors at Arlington National Cemetery. Gen Gray understood the impact logistics has on operations. #logistics #supplychain #operationsmanagement #Transportation #LogisticsManagement #Distribution #LogisticsSolutions #LogisticsPlanning #usmc

Cooperation between the allied democracies hasn't been more essential in 80 years. However, when I see these large-scale naval exercises, I think we are fighting the last war, not preparing for the one already upon us. Have we learned nothing from Ukraine? Nothing from our intelligence on China's military development? Grand fleet manoeuvers make excellent targets for Chinese ship-buster missiles and the new class of air, surface, and underwater sea drones. The US carrier group in the Red Sea can't defeat the Houthis. How will the Grand Fleet defeat the China/Russia/Iran axis? A carrier group's operating range is about 500 miles. A Chinese carrier-buster missile has a range of 750 miles. Only one has to hit. And they are much cheaper than a carrier, a naval fighter plane, or a defensive missile. The NATO nations are ramping up their defense spending, and justifiably so. However, a massive percentage of that spending will do nothing to make the free world safer. Indeed, it is a distraction from accelerating the development of the systems that will make the free world safer. Time to wake up.

Prioritizing the Culture of Service, What Lessons can be Taught from Military Service at Navy League of the United States’ #SeaAirSpace 2024 Sailor life offers unrivaled opportunities for young Americans seeking purpose and adventure, but such personal fulfillment is only possible amidst a service-wide culture of respect, duty, professionalism, and service to others. This extends beyond those in uniform, to include strong support for spouses and children. It also extends beyond the length of one’s time in service, as each Sailor, Marine, and Sentinel is expected to maintain the integrity and strength of character developed while in uniform even after transitioning out of service. How does America develop the greatest Sailors, Marines, and Sentinels in the world and how will we continue to do so? We heard from the senior enlisted members of these renowned sea services and learned about the tireless work they undertake to ensure that the quality of our servicemembers remain the envy of the world.

National defense is an issue that can't be ignored. For far to long we, as a nation, sacrificed our national manufacturing capacity for the dollar. This shortsighted strategy has placed us in a vulnerable position that can no longer be outsourced. If you are a manufacturer, I highly encourage you to attend this virtual event. The #TPP #TalentPipelineProgram is on a mission to energize and engage the American economy by creating and sustaining a maritime and defense industrial base-focused talent pipeline that enables EMPLOYERS to re-capitalize their workforce through recruiting, hiring, training, and retaining skilled workforce members with critical trade skills for 1-year as productive and engaged new employees. #webuildsubmarines #nottoday #itsamoventnotamoment #MIB #DIB TMG, Inc, Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), BlueForge Alliance

Regarding NAVY ship repair and building facilities... Navy needs to stop assigning officers in direct leadership positions inside these facilities. Commanding a Ship/Vessel does not qualify a warfighter the ability to grasp the complexity of running a 'business' at a Naval Port. Besides this aspect, the Naval Officer is NOT effective, as the rotation is normally 3 years. No time to get familiar and understand the complexities of running a billion-dollar enterprise with government and civilian workforce, especially in a foreign Nation. The ANSWER... SES assigned having experience running a civilian shipyard.

Check out this video of the retrieval of the USS Jacob Jones!

The USS Ronald Reagan, a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, has returned to its former homeport at Naval Base Kitsap in Bremerton, Washington, after nearly nine years stationed in Japan. This move is part of a larger US Navy aircraft carrier shuffle, driven by the high demand for carriers around the world. The Ronald Reagan will undergo a six-month maintenance period at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard before potentially being deployed again. This return marks a significant event for the base and the local community, as it brings a large influx of personnel and activity. While it presents a challenge for housing due to the base's limited capacity, it also signifies the Navy's commitment to the Pacific Northwest. The Ronald Reagan's presence at Kitsap will contribute to the Navy's strategic presence in the Pacific region. It also highlights the ongoing need for aircraft carriers in maintaining global security and responding to evolving geopolitical situations. #USNavy #AircraftCarrier #USSRonaldReagan #NavalBaseKitsap #Bremerton #PacificFleet #MilitaryNews #Defense #NationalSecurity #Geopolitics #Deployment #Homeport
