Our latest newsletter brings our version of the "what we did this summer" report. We've been working hard to build more creative thinkers and team facilitators in the domain of naval warfare while continuing to strengthen connections between Naval Postgraduate School and the joint force. Some highlights: In July, we hosted a team of military-focused storytellers to run a workshop on crafting narratives for a purpose. > In this case, our purpose was preparing for the scenarios used in NPS’ annual Warfare Innovation Continuum (WIC) Workshop, which runs next month, 23-26 September. Join us! In June, USMC Chair for Information Dr. Christopher Paul visited the Combat Support Training Exercise, where he saw Army reserve solders creatively build and deploy decoys to support logistics in an exercise focused on drone warfare. And we pay homage to Maj. Gen. Bill Mullen (Ret.), who supported NWSI’s Critical Thinking and Learning branch by collaboratively teaching, researching, and writing with NPS students and faculty.

Of interest to #simulation and #training industry business development, R&D and other teams, should be the US Navy's CNO's released Navigation Plan --- a wide-ranging, strategic-level policy document that has several references to the service's way forward for #learning #training and #education. Enjoy the below read! Marty Kauchak, editor
Just released, Chief of Naval Operations' FOR AMERICA’S WARFIGHTING NAVY Navigation Plan 2024 https://lnkd.in/gc8wwgdd. No surprise as this is a wide-ranging strategic guidance document that covers the US Navy's portfolio, from #robotics to #maintenance. Ah, but not to look further as there are a few snippets on #training, for instance "By 2027, we will have reliable, realistic, relevant, and recordable #LVC-enabled #architectures to #train Navy warfighters to successfully execute high-end warfighting in #Joint and #fullyinformed #training environments."

As the character of war changes at the pace of technological advancement, it is critical to remember that the nature of war is unchanging. It is fundamentally "a violent clash of...irreconcilable wills, each trying to impose itself on the other" (See MCDP-1). At the strategic level, those wills may be political, but at the tactical level, they are fundamentally human. As many are (rightly) focused on maintaining the United States' technological edge in combat, it is encouraging to see the US Naval Academy continue to hone the human edge that will ultimately deliver victory on the battlefield.
As future officers of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps prepare to face the complexities of modern warfare, a unique course at the U.S. Naval Academy is helping midshipmen address one of the most critical yet overlooked aspects of combat — the human element. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gR3ref2d

Recently had an engagement with PACFLT reference developing the maritime fires and effects integration and associated targeting executive agency, informing how doctrine for this should look, and what should the institutional training be across the enterprise to get after this problem set. Outlined in the article is a good start but as was discussed in HI following 1991 our expertise in surface to surface warfare waned as our peer naval threat fell. With the emergence of another peer fleet that is openly training with Russia and Iran we need to reinvigorate these aspects of surface warfare so that we are abke to maintain freedom of the seas. A cultural change is needed to get back to what we have become rusty on over the past 20 years. This includes a look at authorities and empowering the lowest level possible to exercise these authorities when the tactical situation calls for it. Yes this will be uncomfortable but it’s needed to succeed in the next battle.
In fiscal year 2023 the #USNavy Naval Surface and Mine Warfighting Development Center, or #SMWDC, increased its #training output of warfare tactics instructors (WTI) experts by 30%, graduating 121 new WTIs compared to the 90 it had been graduating annually in recent years. Up until recently, the glamor and career advancement was in subs and aviation. As the number of WTIs in the fleet grows — and they take on more high-profile work, such as informing Houthi missile shoot-downs in the Red Sea — SMWDC Commander Rear Adm. Wilson Marks said it’s becoming easier to entice promising young officers to sign up for the training program and join the WTI community. Young officers are seeing becoming a WTI as a "career enhancing" factor. He attributes the increased number of sign-ups to a trickle-down effect, where officers in the fleet see WTIs leading the surface community and being promoted at higher rates. “My captain was a WTI, or my department head was a WTI, and when I saw their level of knowledge and expertise, it made me want to be them,” Marks said of what his incoming students tell him.

Seems a little like Army DevCom... It will be interesting to watch where the money and power falls after all this: Develop Capabilities • Create a Department of the Air Force Integrated Capabilities Office to lead capability development and resource prioritization to drive Department of the Air Force modernization investments. • Combine disparate efforts to create the Office of Competitive Activities to oversee and coordinate sensitive activities. • Create a Program Assessment and Evaluation Office to foster structure and incorporate a more strategic and analytically based approach to resourcing decisions. • Establish Integrated Capabilities Command to develop competitive operational concepts, integrated requirements, and prioritized modernization plans to align with force design. • Create a new Information Dominance Systems Center within Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) to strengthen and elevate the Air Force’s focus on Command, Control, Communications, and Battle Management; Cyber; Electronic Warfare; Information Systems; and Enterprise Digital Infrastructure. • Strengthen the support to nuclear forces by expanding the Nuclear Weapons Center to become the Air Force Nuclear Systems Center within AFMC. This will provide comprehensive materiel support to the nuclear enterprise; establish a 2-star general officer as the Program Executive Officer for Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles. • Refocus the Life Cycle Management Center within AFMC as the Air Dominance Systems Center to synchronize aircraft and weapons competitive development and product support. • Establish an Integration Development Office within AFMC to provide technology assessments and roadmaps. It will drive alignment and integration of mission systems across centers and provide technical expertise to assess operational concept feasibility. • Create Space Futures Command, a new field command, that develops and validates concepts, conducts experimentation and wargames, and performs mission area design.

The Department of Defense, overseeing the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, and Space Force, has an imponderably inefficient civilian, military, and naval service bureaucracy. It cannot adequately supply sufficient arms, ammunition, or other critical equipment, or house the members of the Armed Forces or their families; it cannot convince the best of its junior officers to retain their commissions, recruit new members or retain its existing members in sufficient numbers to support the meager force structure of just five years ago. The agencies and capabilities that are directly involved with warfighting are diminishing, while other agencies seeking an undefinable equity in the DoD grow and are becoming the pervasive advocates of the DoD agenda. Yet one small part of the organization is demonstrating the ultimate equity of merit, capability, and participation. One standard, for all requirements, that is not encumbered by allowances for biological sex, age, or anything else. It’s the Ranger standard at the Army Infantry School Ranger Department. Some 140+ women have now completed the DoD’s most challenging leadership school. Where everyone meets the same standard. Perhaps the DoD should start over with that mindset. One Standard for All. It would certainly end all the internecine bickering over who and what is most important. (Picture is from the public domain. I do not own the rights to this picture of a Ranger School graduate.)

What can us ground bound mere mortals learn from the soaring US Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron, Blue Angels? A lot as it turns out, including lessons in #leadership and how to build high performing #teams. I recently had the chance to see the new #IMAX Blue Angels #documentary and the awe-inspiring live show at the U.S. Naval Academy in #Annapolis just two days apart. I highly recommend both, but it's probably a little easier to see the documentary also now on #amazonprime than it is to get to the live version. It's a #MasterClass in goal setting, building #trust and #camaraderie, #empowerment, #accountability, #continuousimprovement and as you might imagine when it comes to flying a 16-ton jet at over 400 miles per hour just inches away from others, lots of #communication. It also takes #confidence, and in this video, and the #movie, you'll hear one #blueangels pilot describe hitting the "I Believe" button. #topgun #navalaviation #gonavy #publicspeaker #publicspeaking

Maritime Institute, Vice President of Business Development - Task Force Movement, Maritime Chair - USCG (Ret)
This article makes me sad and angry at the same time. 100% agree we could do better by our enlisted workforce and the nation if we lean in and align training and experience with a purpose longer than the immediate task. I devoted more than half my career toward advancements in education and credentialing systems. “They don’t want to be mariners.” BS they were not asked and their training is not recognized. We stood up USNCC and the credentialing programs against tremendous resistance. Restrictions on tuition assistance across the services are madening and the program is still throttled for “cost savings.” Shipyard work is good work and pays very well. We are a maritime nation, why are we still in the same predicament after a decade of warnings and executive orders? Don’t blame the workforce, that’s a revolving door that votes with their feet. If the maritime shortage was an operational imperative we wouldn’t be here. I studied strategic documents for two decades and don’t remember any calling for a dumber, less educated, less competent military workforce. Infuriating. DoD is the largest training organization in the country and veterans are great people. Let’s mobilize and get people to work. Task Force Movement U.S. Naval Community College
