Apr 27, 2018 at 3:19 AM To @gmail.com usni .orgimagazineslproceedmgleOl It's Not Just the Forward Deployed By Vice Admiral Joseph Aucoin, U. 8. Navy (Retired) I had the privilege of serving with some of the most talented and dedicated sailors and civilians in our Navy. culminating in what I believe is the bestjob in the world?Commander, U.S. Seventh Fleet (07F). I had the opportunity to work with our fowvard-deployed forces in the Western Paci?c. Tragically, during the summer of 2017. we experienced the horri?c collisions of the USS Fitzgerald (DOG-62) and USS John 8. McCain (DDG-56). I am concerned that. in some quarters, these collisions are viewed and characterized as a ?local??-Japan only?problem. There certainly were pressures on the ?eet in Japan, but there are also indications of problems elsewhere. While the investigations in the aftermath of the loss of 17 sailors addressed many of the issues that may have led to the collisions, there were other factors. I offer some additional thoughts on what we were dealing with, because without a full understanding of what happened, we will be limited in our ability to address the root causes and ensure this does not happen again. The ?Comprehensive Review" (CR), ?Strategic Review" (SR), and some media reporting could lead one to the impression my staff and were oblivious to or unconcerned about the manning, training, and maintenance de?ciencies affecting my ships and their ability to carry out their assigned missions. That was not the case. I made clear to Commander, U.S. Paci?c Fleet (ComPacFlt), the impact of increased operational demand on training and maintenance well prior to the two collisions. Despite these explicitly stated concerns. the direction we received was to execute the mission. We also were well aware that there were critical de?ciencies in the manning of 07F operational units. Starting around 2014. the manning level of Fowvard Deployed Naval Forces (F DNF) ships began dropping off as a result of policies prioritizing Continental United States (ConUS)-based ships entering the Optimized Fleet Response Plan (OFRP) over FDNF ships. Not only did my staff recognize the negative effects of manning shortfalls on the FDNF, it was thanks to our insistence that US. Fleet Forces Command (USFF) ?nally agreed to an FDNF Manning Summit in June 2017. This Manning Summit set in motion policy changes that will begin to relieve some of the FDNF manning de?ciencies. When it comes to addressing the critical manpower shortages that we faced, however, the CR does not mention the above, nor does it really go after our manning shortfall with actionable items. While it is said that the CR focused primarily on training and readiness, it did not address manpower issues nearly enough. I do not know how one can exclude manpower in a discussion on readiness in a high-operational tempo (OpTempo) environment. Captain John Cordle has it right in his March 2018 Proceedings article, ?It Is All about the Sailors? (pp. 17-21), on manning. recommend that everyone read this article. The "Comprehensive Review? and the ?Strategic Review? also neglected to highlight certain facts of command and control (CZ) in the Western Paci?c. For example, A?oat Training Group (ATG) Western Paci?c, responsible for the training and certi?cation of FDNF surface ships based in Japan, was not under 07F command, but instead reported directly to Commander, Naval Surface Force Paci?c (CNSP). The USS Lake Champlain collision in the Sea of Japan in May 2017 often is cited as an example of degraded readiness in CTF surface forces. In fact, this cruiser was a San Diego-based - ship entirely trained and certi?ed by Commander. Third Fleet. Finally, no discussion of command and control in the Western Paci?c between 2015 and 2017 should overlook the effects of the ?Third Fleet Forwar initiative. Under this initiative, surface forces that historically had been deployed to the Western Paci?c to augment the presence of (and relieve the pressure on) FDNF forces, now were taken out of command. While these ships occasionally ?lled some missions that would otherwise have required FDNF ships, they spent much of their time executing "shows of force" or engaging in Oceania Maritime Security Initiative (OMSI) ?sheries patrols and therefore were not available to provide relief for FDNF cruisers or destroyers (CruDes) in need of training or maintenance. Moreover, efforts were undertaken to train Third Fleet to take on this new role, in addition to their primary responsibility of training and certifying units for deployment. The "Comprehensive Review? recommends improving operational risk management (ORM) within the surface community by identifying hazards, assessing risk, and sharing information to help shape risk control and prevent future mishaps. Some of those critical ingredients, however, should have been applied to the development of the CR itself. How comprehensive is the CR when neither Commander, Naval Surface Forces (CNSF), nor I, as the numbered ?eet commander, was interviewed or asked for inputs? For the sake of our Navy, a transparent examination of the problem should include a full understanding of the challenges with which we were faced. The Operational Environment Between 2015 and 2017, naval operations in the Indo-Asia Paci?c expanded dramatically both in direct response to national priorities and to ComPacFlt and Commander. US. Paci?c Command As a consequence of the increasing demand for and decreasing availability of 07F assets, readiness declined in CruDes forces. This was known both to commanders in FDNF and across the Navy. The GAO had reported to the Navy in 2015 that resources were not keeping pace with demand. Through 2016 and culminating in early 2017, my staff produced detailed data quantifying the increase in CruDes operational tasking and demonstrating the consequent decline in executed maintenance and training, which I sent directly to ComPacFlt. ComPacFIt agreed operational tasking threatened FDNF surface maintenance and training. Yet 07F received no substantive relief from tasking or additional resources. In this environment, our mindset at Seventh Fleet Headquarters was to keep the focus on executing safe operations, prioritize what needed to be done, push back on tasking out of line with priorities, and empower and encourage the task force commanders to provide us data to support such push-backs. It was often the case that operational missions (more often than not of the "short-notice" variety) came down from and ComPacFlt with warning orders or that ?requests for forces" were met with a ?not recommended" response from 07F. Such responses always were required to be accompanied with a by-name identi?ed ship to be used if we were ?forced to source" the mission, as well as an estimated impact statement of what cost and risks would be incurred if we were to task that ship with the mission. The impact statements routinely highlighted to higher headquarters that sourcing these missions would come at the cost of training and readiness. More often than not, we would be directed to ?ll and execute the mission through a follow?on task order or voice order directing the by-name identi?ed ship to execute the mission. In a few cases, we were able to argue for changes that allowed ships to complete training or maintenance. In many other cases, our arguments and recommendations were either overruled or ignored. The CR cites the need to "restore? the 07F scheduling conference. The scheduling conference is an important tool in prioritizing unit employment. But the idea that such prioritization was being ignored is misleading. A regularly scheduled conference was held in November 2016. By the time of the next scheduled conference (May 2017), circumstances around the Korean Peninsula temporarily had made operational scheduling problematic. Hastily directed response options that heavily tasked our ?eet, such as dual carrier operations, created an un?ltered demand signal for more naval units and wreaked havoc on our schedule lines. Under these circumstances, the May 2017 conference was postponed. The CR should highlight the magnitude of the combatant commander's appetite for more operational presence of aircraft, ships, and subs?without requesting additional forces?as a contributing factor to the declining state of readiness in Seventh Fleet leading into the summer of 2017. While the CR mentions the demand associated with ballistic missiie defense (BMD). and other demands are brought up in the classi?ed reports. it would have been reassuring if the CR had addressed the Navy?s organizational responsibility to act as a check against such increasing demand when divorced from the reality of readiness impacts. While the situation was well known by more senior leaders, this demand went un?ltered and fell to me. The Manning Issue Any chief on the waterfront between 2015 and 2017 would have told you that manning was the number-one issue faced by ships. FDNF sailors are motivated individuals. Still, the fastest way to kill that motivation is to meet a returning FDNF sailor at the pier in Yokosuka or Sasebo and tell this sailor that he or she must go right back out on another deployment on a different ship because of a manning shortfall. Meanwhile, it was frustrating to hear that some San Diego ships were overmanned, as I expressed during one PacFlt meeting after hearing a West Coast ship was so over- manned it left 30 people on the pier. At the time, we were having to cross-deck 49 sailors in FDNF-J to ?ll gaps on our ships, and 5 of 11 CruDes forces had senior quartermaster billets gapped. It should not have taken so long, but after nearly two years of constantly bringing up our manpower issues, the Manning Control Authority (MCA) agreed to come to Japan for a manning summit. During this conference, the traditional reasons were rehashed to explain why it is dif?cult to man FDNF. Many sailors or family members are unable to satisfactorily complete the overseas-screening process because of medical, ?nancial, or legal dif?culties, and signi?cant numbers decline the re-enlistments necessary to ful?ll overseas tour obligations. However, other issues that were not as apparent greatly compounded our dif?culties in FDNF. The Navy's MCA lead civilian briefed us that the overall Navy manning shortfall had grown to 7,500 people, and it was a fact of life that shortfalls were going to be experienced throughout our Navy. A key element that affected FDNF was the OFRP model adopted by the Navy for training units in 2014. In 2015 OFRP was modi?ed such that ConUS-based units would be prioritized higher for manning than non- OFRP units such as FDNF units. This short-sighted mandate would enable based units to be fully manned to their ?tl?ll thresholds starting from the beginning of their 36-month cycle, but the negative consequence was that units, such as the FDNF, would bear the brunt of the shortfall. In addition to a soaring OpTempo, the cumulative effect over time of not having enough pe0ple and resorting to cross?decking had a debilitating effect on readiness. We not only lacked overall numbers of people, we also lacked mentors, the men and women with the skills and experience that are vital to raising our next generation of experienced sailors. This was compounded by the fact that we were operating in the most challenging operational environment in the world and while lacking training devices, ranges, and other support generally available to units back home. Following the Manning Summit, at the August 2017 Fleet Conference, Navy leaders agreed to alter manning prioritization to bene?t FDNF. This undoubtedly will help our FDNF-J ships get back to stable and satisfactory manning levels, and the new Commander, Naval Surface Force Paci?c (CNSP), Vice Admiral Richard A. Brown, has indicated the situation is improving. There is no mention, however, of this challenge or its effects in the CR. With this lack of transparency, we miss a chance to capture lessons learned. Accountability Authority While C7F had tactical control of the Lake Champlain for a few days while she operated near the Korean Peninsula, she was a Third Fleet ship that had been manned, trained, and equipped stateside when she suffered a daylight collision with a Korean ?shing boat in the Sea of Japan. Third Fleet, which had certi?ed the Lake Champlain, convened the investigation, held the investigation results, and determined any follow-on action. The fact that we had a non-Seventh Fleet ship experience dif?culties in navigation and seamanship, prior to the Fitzgerald and in daylight, and without the lessons learned being made available to Seventh Fleet (until after the John 8. McCain tragedy), is not mentioned anywhere in the CR. The CR also did not consider that such an event might indicate a Navy-wide issue may exist. This highlights an accountability/authority mismatch for the manning, training, and equipping of CruDes ships that my staff had to deal with on a daily basis. While we were aware of the issues and engaged with the responsible organizations, the training, manning, and equipping of our CruDes ships remained the primary responsibility of CNSP up through ComPacFIt. Observations Recommendations It is a strength of our Navy that we strive to be a fearless learning organization, and it is imperative that in the wake of such tragedy all issues be addressed to prevent future incidents. The CR addressed many, one of the biggest being the training of our surface warfare of?cers (SWOs). I think the main culprit for these collisions was that we allowed the training of our surface warriors to atrophy. In addition to the operational squeeze on training opportunities, it is encouraging the CR addresses other issues contributing to this issue. One is the near-constant reorganization of SWO Division Of?cer formalized training, wherein greater reliance on PowerPoint instruction and on-the-job training have been ascendant (in contrast to submarine, ?ight, and SEAL training and at the Marine Corps Basic School). Our surface navy is loaded with talent and great peOple, but they have lacked some of the foundational building blocks of training that have been eroded or simply cut because of budgetary pressure. To help correct this dearth of training, lirecommend FNDF-J receive dedicated Tier 1 training time set aside, similar to what FDNF-Mediterranean ships receive. In addition, in the challenging operational environment of the Western Paci?c where experience really matters, recommend bolstering the FDNF by incentivizing more of our senior enlisted professionals and of?cers to take orders to the FDNF-J. I also have to question some of the initiatives being considered, such as placing the manning, training, and equipping functions under FFC. In 2017, FFC was the manning control authority, yet the MCA placed FDNF manning priorities second to other deployed units and below those units preparing to deploy from the United States. Would not FDNF resourcing be better served by placing training and equipping functions under My biggest concern is whether we truly have the resolve to fix these issues for our surface warriors. One only has to go back to the collision of the USS Porter to see what needed to be done. It was disappointing to see that many issues identi?ed then were not corrected. We allowed budget cuts to whittie away training and were not forceful enough to advocate for what our Navy needed to safely do the mission. Today, the Navy has that support from our Secretary of Navy, and shortfails are being addressed now. But iflwhen we ?nd the support is not there at levels above the uniformed leaders, will the lessons of 2017 allow us to advocate forcefully for the Navy we need? To not ensure that 2017 never is repeated would be to accept such incidents as the ?price of doing business.? 7th Fleet sailors, like Hull Maintenance Technician Cola Parsley, are dedicated and hard- working. They deserve reasonable and consistent support for their ships, their families and their careers. Manning and excessive tasking were huge issues for Seventh Fleet, but they are not addressed head-on in the CR. Instead, the CR indicates I should have pushed back more than I had done, after being told to ?force to source." Still, I do not understand why our leaders do not push back on the excessive demand on our ships or exhibit more transparency on the true extent of the issues the Navy faces beyond Seventh Fleet. Why cannot the Navy ask for more people? Or why cannot the Navy answer more directly the question raised by Congressman \Mlliam Thornberry during the post-collisions hearing: ?Why hasn?t the Navy asked for manpower?? The can-do culture and cutting- corners mentality, which the CR states were the norm at Seventh Fleet, certainly may exist, but it is not at Seventh Fleet. In the end, the same fate awaits us if the uniform leaders cannot defend the Navy?s manning requirements, push back on tasking demands, and advocate strongly for those resources that our sailors need to do their job. As a numbered ?eet commander, was ultimately responsible for the proper Operation of fieet assets provided to me. And while we were able to turn off some taskings, in hindsight, I should have reiterated a ?no" when issued ?forced to source orders" for operational tasking. I accept this mistake. At the same time, in the future I hope our Navy will listen more carefully to our commanders on the scene. These tragedies and loss of life have left scars on many of us that will not and should not be forgotten. and help ensure that we do everything we can to prevent something like this from ever occurring again. It has been extremely satisfying serving alongside our sailors worldwide, in combat and peacetime. They all are hard-working men and women, but nowhere do they bear the consistent, day-to-day, year?over-year operational tempo that they do in This is true for families as well, who also endure the constant scrutiny of living overseas and the challenge?and expense?of living far from loved ones back in the States. This has been true for decades, and my foremost hope is that my Navy can better support the men and women of the FDNF. They do not ask to drop the pack or request special treatment. in fact, most sailors in FDNF ?nd the mission exhilarating. At the same time, these wonderful people do need reasonable and consistent support for their ships, their families, and their careers.

That goes from the global a'l the way to the personal. At the global level we saw a ternlic examp?e of that with the strikes into Syria from USS Ross and USS Porter. I had the good fortune to be able to visit USS Ross in Rota. just a week prior. That team was ready The Sailors aboard Ross had anticipated every contingency They had taken the initiative to ensure they were ready. They were not going to be bystanders. and when the Nation called to respond to these heinous chemical weapons attacks in Syria they reached out and Ross was ready to go because they'd taken the initiative." ?All the way down to the personal level I have a ?rm believe that the vast vast majority of our Sailors are good people who want to do the right thing With initiative. we lust need to demonstrate that.

Asked about the U5. military's plan for how to deal with any potential further attacks. Howard said the military was ready to respond if other civilian options failed. "As the civilian leadership works through what their options are. if other options don?t pan out. then it's generaiiy the military that gets asked to do something." Howard declined to give any details about the ?ight path of the missiles. or the US. military assessment of the damage caused. but said she was con?dent the strikes had hit their intended target. "The intention was to take out the airfield and to remove the means of the deiivery of chemical weapons. i feel that was accomplished." she said. The cruise missiles were launched by two ships in the European region. the USS Porter and the USS Ross. in close coordination with us. Central Command. which is responsible for the Middle East. Howard lauded the quick action taken by the commanders and crews of the two ships in response to the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian regime.

Thank you all for being here on this chilly January morning I appreciate it more than you can ever know. Almost eight years ago, I re-entered this service, sworn in as the 75th Secretary of the Navy, 37 years after departing my last duty station, USS Little Rock. During my time in this storied and historic post, which is almost as old as the United States itself, the days have been long but the years have been short. I cannot image a better position or one where the stakes are higher--for our Sailors and Marines, for your families, for our nation. This assignment is a high privilege but also a solemn responsibility to those who stand the watch protecting the land they love and to their loved ones and to the civilians who support and sustain them. Every decision I've made, every action I?ve taken, has been guided by one goal: strengthen the Navy and Marines to strengthen our national security. When I took of?ce, our fleet was shrunken and our economy was in shambles. Too soon would we face sequestration and a government shutdown. Oil dependency and price and supply shocks threatened operations and training and were literally costing us lives; defective laws and antiquated personnel policies limited our ability to attract and retain America?s most talented young people. All of this was happening even as an increasingly complex and challenge world imposed ever-increasing demands our naval forces. But today 1 can say this: despite all the obstacles, because of the work, the dedication and commitment of Sailors, Marines and civilians, our Navy and Marine Corps are far more capable, far better equipped, to meet and master any event that comes over the horizon than the force that existed on the day in 2009 when was sworn in. The Navy and Marine Corps are undeniably and signi?cantly different today than they were then, and they are also undeniably and significantly stronger. We are America's away team, a constant presence around the globe. Presence - around the globe, around the clock is what makes the Navy Marine Corps learn unique and what gives America an unrivaled advantage on, above, beneath. and from the sea fostering stability and keeping the peace; assuring that sea lanes remain open and reassuring allies near and far; deterring adversaries and delivering the widest range ofoptions in times of crisis. Eight years ago, to do all the nation has entrusted to us we had urgent imperatives to reverse the decline in the fleet and make it [it for the 21st century: to change the way we consumed energy in a world where the old ways were wasteful and unsustainable; and to make our forces more powerful and more resilient for dangers less and less predictable. There are consequences to a reduced ?eet: because we lacked enough ships, we had hard choices about which Combat Commander to support; because we lacked enough ships, our deployments were coming quicker and becoming longer and much more uncertain. because we lacked enough ships. they could not stay long enough in the yards between deployments and they were wearing out and breaking down. Because we lacked enough ships, the Navy and Marine Corps could not do everything America expects of us from high?end combat to irregular warfare to safeguarding freedom of navigation and providing humanitarian assistance and disaster relief. And doing all this all around the world and all around the clock. In 200], the Navy counted 3 l6 ships. By 2008, after one of the greatest military build?ups in our history, we were down to 278. During those seven years, only 4 ships were contracted - not enough to keep the fleet from continued decline and not enough to keep our shipyards going. So we not only needed many more ships; we had to get them with much less money. In the last seven years, by taking some basic business decisions, the cost ofevery type of ship has been dramatically driven down and the number of ships under contract has more than doubled from 4 to 86. It takes a long time to rebuild a fleet. With the commitments of the last eight years, we?ve turned the trend ofthe previous decade and the size of the fleet will reach 300 ships by 2019 and 308 by 202 I. The ships we are building now will determine the ?eet si7e years into the future. If you miss a year building. ships, the neglect cannot be made up. If years are missed, if not enough ships are built, year in and year out, the impact will be felt for decades. For a military force, energy is both a weapon and a vulnerability. it can constitute a combat edge or a weakness which can be exploited. The Navy has understood the central role ol'energy and has been a leader in innovation for more than two centuries moving from sail to coal and from coal to oil and then pioneering the use of nuclear propulsion. Every time the Navy changed types of energy or the way energy was used, there were critics who defended the status quo, arguing that we were giving up something free the wind for something that cost money ?coal; or that we were abandoning a huge infrastructure -- worldwide coaling stations -- for oil; or that there was no way nuclear power could be made small enough or safe enough to be put on submarines. Every time, the Navy held firm and made the shift because it gave an edge that made us a better instrument of national defense. In 2009 we were at a new point ofenergy vulnerability and again change was essential. As I took office, the price ofoil was at $140 per barrei and, early in my tenure, the Navy was presented with $2 billion in unbudgeted fuel cost increases. We were forced to choose between operations and training and, most crucially, we were losing a Marine, killed or wounded, for every 50 convoys of fuel we brought into Afghanistan. That was unacceptable. I set ambitious goals for Navy energy; the most far?reaching and fundamental was that by no later than 2020, at least hall?ofall Navy and Marine Corps energy would come from non-fossil fuel sources. We achieved the shore part in 20 5 live years early and now get 60 percent of energy on our bases from alternatives. We are moving to microgrids, so that even if something happens to the grid, we can still perform our vital military functions. At sea we are at about 35 percent alternatives of which half is nuclear and are on track to reach our goal by 2020. We?re making energy where we are, so there is no need for resupply. Giving a company of Marines small, rollable solar panels to power radios and GPSs saves that company 700 pounds of batteries that they don?t have to carry and never need to replace. Some SEAL teams are near net zero in water and power, using solar and wind for power and to purify ater, so they can stay in the ?eld far longer. We?re being far more ef?cient in using power as well. Just by Changing the light bulbs to LEDs, a destroyer saves 20,000 gallons of fuel a year. Because of all this, oil useage is down IS percent in the Navy and 60 percent in the Marines. Tactically, our Marines and SEALs are decisively more mobile and can operate far longer without dangerous re-supply of fuel; by getting rid of generators, they can hear when danger is coming; our ships are staying on station longer; our bases are more adaptable and more secure. Economically, even with the presently low price ofoil, we are saving money on energy; for the ?rst time we have competition in liquid fuels; we are more insulated from price and supply shocks, and there is a whole new income stream for American farmers and small businesses. Strategically, we are no longer so dependent on nations that may not have our best interests at heart, and we have many more options. In Singapore there is an oil re?nery owned by the Chinese. Just down the road there is a biol?ttel refinery owned by the Finns. We need options so we do not have to rely on the Chinese for fuel for our Navy, particularly in the western Paci?c. And we, and our allies, are not nearly as vulnerable to energy threats from adversaries like Russia. At the same time, we cannot ignore the effects ofclimate change. This is not just a national issue; it is a grave national security issue. As new routes open amid the melting Arctic ice, as sea levels rise, as storms increase in intensity, the Navy and Marine Corps face new and critical tests. If we fail to act on climate change, instability around the globe will inevitably intensify and es en our bases will be at risk of being lost. I speak of this not to advance some sort of ?green" agenda, but because it is indispensable to a 2 st century military. A tnodern energy revolution. a strategic resolve to respond to climate change. can transform how we ?ght and gives us a combat edge. This is now the new normal in the Navy and Marines. Going back to the way we operated before would be equivalent to stopping the use of nuclear or returning to sails. Going back would mean sacri?cing a signi?cant advantage, rendering our forces more vulnerable and needlessly risking the lives of Sailors and Marines. Today, we have the ?nest force in our history. The Sailors of today are rightful heirs to those that defeatth the world?s pre-eminent naval power at sea in the War of 18l2. to those who fought at Mobile Bay and Manila, to those who won the battle of the Atlantic in World War I, to those who prevailed at Midway. manned Yankee Station and provided combat air over Afghanistan and Iraq. The Marines of today are rightful heirs to those who fought at Tripoli, Chapultepec, Belleau Wood, lwo .lima. Chosin, Hue, Kuwait. Fallujah and Helmand. Ours is also an all?volunteer force in a country where three of four Americans between 18 and 24 do not qualify for military service. It is also a force stressed by a decade and halfof war, longer and more unpredictable deployments, and, because of endless budget ?ghts, uncertainty about the future. It is a force at risk because of the crime of sexual assault and the tragedy of suicide. This is a force composed of the brave and the talented who value service to country over comfort and safety and ease and ?nancial reward. Because you are our best, we have to do our best for you. So we have made careers more ?exible and rewarding by creating opportunities for promotion based more on merit and less on time, opportunities to acquire new skills and education, and to take a break from the military for family reasons or to work in private industry. We have tried to make sure people are never forced to choose between service and family by tripling paid maternity leave, expanding child care by two hours in the morning and evening, and adopting two military spouses co-location programs. We have been aggressive in attacking sexual assault and are seeing improvements there and we are pursuing suicide prevention from the deckplates to senior leadership. We have changed and improved physical standards and diets and ended the symbolic segregation of women by standardizing uniforms for everyone. The reason I?ve traveled so is to see Sailors and Marines where they're deployed, to shake their hands, to look them in the eye, to listen and answer their questions and explain the reasons for the decisions I?ve made. And I?ve done this, in the words ofthe Marine Hymn, ?in every ciime and place?: at every Marine forward operating base in Helmand Province Afghanistan during my dozen visits there; on every type of ship and at virtually every base around the world. As a wartime Secretary, the first thing I do each morning and the thing that takes priority throughout the day are casualty reports. These are not statistics. These are men and women who volunteered, who raised their hand and said "send me," knowing the risks yet willing to take them, each with family and friends. and, when lost, each leaves voids that will never be fully closed. Every loss is personal and notjust for comrades in combat. This is a dangerous business that these special daughters and sons undertake every day whether in battle or operations or training. In his book, Lords ofthe Sea, .lohn Hale describes a dynamic linkage between the Athenian Navy and Athenian democracy. The Navy that defeated a Persian force four times larger at Salamis was powered by ordinary Athenian citizens and commanded by officers of their choosing. When those citizens came home from sea to the Athens they had saved, they demanded a full say in its future, and established a democracy which flourished for centuries. In ancient Athens where there was no difference between those being defended and those doing the defending, so too in our democracy there cannot be too much distance between those who fight and those they fight for. The protecting force must be reflective of the nation being protected. A diverse force is a stronger force. Not diversity for diversity's sake, but diversity in background, experience and perspective. A force too alike in its thinking becomes predictable and a predictable force is a defeatable force. So we have ended arbitrary and ultimately self-defeating restrictions on who can serve and in what capacity. We've set high,job speci?c standards for every Navy and Marine Corps position. We will not relax these standards for any group or reason. Once you set this standard, then things like race, who you love. where you come from, what your gender or identity is all become irrelevant. The only thing that matters is whether the person doing thejob has proven that they can do the job. Our Navy and Marine Corps will continue to be the world?s most formidable and lethal expeditionary fighting force in the world and in history if the only qualification to serve is to be qualified to serve. In 20] I, soon after the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," I was in Manaus. at our base there where nearly everyone coating into or returning from Afghanistan passed through. After an all-hands call with about 800 Sailors and Marines, a Navy First Class Petty Of?cer, who hadjust ?nished his third combat deployment with the Marines, came up to me afterwards and said he wanted to thank me for pushing for the repeal. He is gay and said he had been scared for years that he would be found out and kicked out of the service he loved. Imagine, here was someone who had done three combat tours, risking his life time after time to come to the aid of wounded Marines. and yet his biggest fear was that he would he removed from the Navy for being gay. How wrong is that? When Marines and Sailors are doing theirjobs, they're usually a long way from home and the American people don?t get a chance to seejust how hard the things we expect them to do every day are andjust how good they are at doing them. At the start I decided that one of my most important responsibilities is to make sure the Navy and Marine Corps are closely connected to the American people. I?ve tried to do this in many ways: visiting all 50 states to thank Americans for their support: bringing back NROTC at Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Columbia after an absence of40 years; establishing NROTC programs at Rutgers and Arizona State, the most diverse campuses in the country. And I?ve sought to do this in exercising the duty and privilege of naming ships. That is why I've named ships after nine Medal of Honor and two Navy Cross Recipients, people like John Basilone, Lewis Wilson, John Woody Williams, and Jack Lucas from World War II, Lenah Hi gbee from World War 1. Thomas Hudner from Korea, Barney Barnum who is here today and Ralph Johnson from Vietnam, Raphael Peralta from Iraq individuals who fought, and in many cases died, for American values. It is equally important to honor the values themselves. That is why, in accordance with the longstanding naval tradition of naming support ships for civilians, have named ships in honor of cis il rights and human rights leaders like Medgar. Evers, Cesar Chavez, John Lewis. Harvey Milk, Lucy Stone and Sojourner Truth Americans who also fought. and in some cases died. pursuing our most sacred values ofjustice. equality and freedom. The memories 1 leave with I will carry with me until the end of my days. Incredibly happy memories: meeting in the Fleet the sons and daughters and grandchildren of friends of long ago; being on the sidelines of Navy football games with players who, very soon, would be turning pro in defense of our country; eating ice cream with Sailors and Marines in every corner ofthe world, shaking the hands of almost 9,000 graduates at eight Naval Academy commencements; Moving memories: At a Forward Operating Base in Afghanistan, meeting Marines coming in from a fire?ght, drenched in sweat despite the freezing weather. At Bethesda, visiting warriors with grievous wounds, but no bitterness or regret. Serving and then sitting and eating meals at Camp Leatherneck and onboard ships at sea with Marines and Sailors who would immediately report to their duties and return to the light. Learning that the mission had been a success and that Osama bin Laden was dead. Painful memories: hand?writing condolence letters to the families of the fallen, especially those written to children; being at Dover for digni?ed and heart?breaking transfers and being with one grieving family or many, as was when we lost 22 SEALs and enablers, live Army and three Air Force comrades, and eight Afghan allies. Poignant memories: Being at Pearl Harbor and lwo .Iinta for the seventieth anniversary ofeach of those battles and listening to the stories of the dwindling ranks of survivors; talking with one of the last crewmen still alive who was aboard the USS Indianapolis when it sank; helping families reconnect with their ancestors by recovering long lost service records; listening to Thomas Hudner talking about trying so hard but unsuccessfully to save his wingman, Jess Brown, the Navy?s first African American aviator. Personal memories: skydiving with the SEALs, standing on both poles, transiting the straits of Magellan and Malacca and the Panama and Suez canals, experiencing a very small part of Marine pie-deployment training, being given a horse in Mongolia and being made an honorary Chief Petty Officer, landing on a carrier and being catapulted off in the back seat of an F?l8, flying at more than the speed of sound in a Growler on 100?s? biofuels, being ?Agent Ray" on the TV show NCIS, throwing out the first pitch in all 30 major league stadiums, being underway for live days on a submarine. have been incredibly fortunate in my life, from the parents I had, to the family I cherish, to the friends I hold so dear, to the positions of responsibility I have been entrusted with. But I have never been so honored, so inspired and so encouraged about America?s future as have been in thisjob, standing side by side with women and men who are willing to sacri?ce everything to defend everything America stands for. My first and only hero was my father. He lived in a town of one thousand people, owned a hardware store with his brother and was a tree farmer. He is buried less than three miles from where he was born. Like the Navy and Marines, tree farming requires a long time horimn and an abiding belief in the future. In the last year of his life, my father nex er cut a single tree. but he planted thousands. He planted trees even though he knew he would never bene?t in any way. He planted them as an act of hope and faith. His hope was for future generations, including grandchildren here today he would never meet. His faith was in a country that had lifted him and his family and had, itself, provided so much hope for the rest ofthe world. The work we do for the future ofthe Corps and the Navy is equally an act of hope and faith. Hope and faith in the ongoing journey of this country and the generations to come vs ho will be in its service. The sadness I feel at departing at the end of this Administration is matched in much greater measure by pride in the accomplishments we have made together during my second tour ofduty. I am absolutely convinced that our Navy and Marine Corps are positioned fora future as noble and brilliant as their past. Today?s Navy and Marine Corps are not only the best in the world, they are the best the world has ever known. From and to the Navy: Semper Fortis. Always Courageous From and to the Marines: Semper Fidelis, Always Faithful And at this leave-taking, to all who serve: Semper Tecum. I will always be with you.

Bacew?ch In late March, General Kenneth McKenzie became the twenty?fourth commander of CENTCOM (more formally known as United States Central Command}. On May 8, at an event sponsored by the Institute for the Perpetuation of War and the Promotion of Regime Change, more formally known as the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies (FDD), he outlined his plans for building on the legacy of his 23 predecessors. None of those predecessors, it should be acknowledged, succeeded in accomplishing his assigned mission. Nor, I?m willing to bet, will he. The essence of that mission, according to General McKenzie himself, is to promote stability. stable Middle East underpins a stable world,? he announced, and "our steady commitment to our allies and partners provides a force for stability." As to how the region became unstable in the first place, he offers no opinion, leaving listeners with the impression that previous exertions by CENTCOM forces in invading, occupying, bombing, and otherwise spilling blood throughout his Area of Responsibility (AOR) had nothing to do with the absence of stability existing there today. At any rate, General McKenzie is not inclined to bother with the past. His focus is on the future. ?I've always tried to have a bias for action,? he told his listeners. Now let me say for the record that this is exactly the attitude the United States wants to have in its battalion commanders and perhaps in its fighter pilots as well. Yet, given the events that have occurred over the past several decades as a direct or indirect result of US military interventions across much of the Greater Middle East, mark me down as preferring senior commanders with a bias for careful reflection and perhaps even for critically examining how the United States got where it is. The new CENTCOM commander exhibits no such inclinations. Indeed, one of the reasons he admires the FDD is that it doesn?t consist of "a group of luminariesjust sitting around admiring the problem set." No, FDD attracts ?people that make things happen.? Those are his kind of people.

Every year for a quarter of a century China has run a current-account surplus (roughly speaking, the sum of its trade balance and net income from foreign investments). This surplus has been blamed for various evils including the decline of Western manufacturing and the flooding of America?s bond market with the excess savings that fuelled the subprime housing bubble. Yet the surplus may soon disappear. In 2019 China could well run its first annual current-account deficit since 1993. The shift from lender to borrower will create a knock-on effect, gradually forcing it to attract more foreign capital and liberalise its financial system. China?s government is only slowly waking up to this fact. America?s trade negotiators, meanwhile, seem not to have noticed it at all. Instead of focusing on urging China to free its financial system, they are more concerned that China keep the yuan from falling. The result of this myopia is a missed opportunity for both sides. China?s decades of surpluses reflected the fact that for years it saved more than it invested. Thrifty households boarded cash. The rise of great coastal manufacturing clusters meant exporters earned more revenues than even Bill' Moran To; (6) Cc: Chris-Servant) Sat, Mar 201 get ?:38 PM [Quwta?' text hidden} (?733?

Wanted to drop a quick note to let you know I've been heavily involved in the Greater Washington Chapter Board for nearly three years now, moving into a newly created Outreach 3t Engagement role two years ago to try and help turn the ship around for a large and failing organization. It has been a heavy lift and the work is not complete, however we've made great progress as evidenced by our very first Distinguished Speaker Series event back in Jan when ADM Caldwell graciously spoke to about 75 alums at the Lockheed Martin GVC in City. We even had ADM Cecil Haney come out and join the chapterl Our next event is 52 and CNO Richardson is speaking, so we are excited about that event and expect bigger attendance as the word gets out about these events. The next step in the plan is getting back in the saddle on luncheons which were a staple of the old regime, and I believe you may have spoken at one out at the Army Navy Country Club. We've moved the venue to the Army Navy Club downtown to address the transportation and timing challenges and have our first date set at 4:26. Chris Servello and (6) are jointly tackling an invite for you to be our speaker and help us kick things off right. If you can make it, we'd certainly appreciate it. That's all, just wanted to give you a quick status update, let you know I am behind the push, and ask for your support if your schedule allows.

The Defence secretary urges Britons to stop downplaying the country's influence internationally and recognise that the UK will stand tail on the world stage after leaving the European Union. In an interview with The Telegraph in his Ministry of Defence of?ce. Mr Williamson says: "We have got to be so much more optimistic about our future as we exit the European Union. "This is our biggest moment as a nation since the end of the Second World War. when we can recast ourselves in a different way, we can actually play the role on the world stage that the world expects us to play. "For so long - literally for decades - so much of our national view point has actually been coloured by a discussion about the European Union. "This is our moment to be that true global player once more - and i think the Armed Forces play a really important role as part ofthat." 'He says: "l'am also very much looking at how-can we get as much .of-oor resources forward based? aotuatly creating. a deterrent but also taking a British-presence, Weare looking at those opportunities not just in the Far East not also in?the-Caribbean as The baseswould have seryioe and maintenanoestaff, supply ships-and equipment-sited there.

He says he wants to give these protections not just to veterans ofthe Troubles in Northern Ireland, but to "veterans of conflicts before that and con?icts since that, Iraq and Afghanistan". Mr ?Williamson wants to give ?them the confidence that the country that they have always supported. the country that they have always defended is aEso the country that supports and defends them". He also insists that probiems with a contract run by Capita which has seen army recruitment ?atiine are being sorted out after he deployed 200 servicemen and women into recruiting centres. He says: "Having the experienced sergeant out there, talking about their experiences. talking about the brilliant quality of life that they can have. as joining the Armed Forces. "We have put 2th service personnel into the system selling the message, and what we have seen is a large spike in the number of people starting to apply." "It is a really important message, getting the Armed Forces on the front line of recruitment, banging the recruitment drum, selling the actual dream of what the Armed Forces can do. want the very best in the Army, the Navy and the Air Force and we are determined to get them." think it is my duty to do that. You have got men and women who serve our country who do things for us to keep us safe that few others would be willing to do or would have the capability to do "So if I am the voice that bangs that drum for them no apology whatsoever, I see it as my duty, 1 see it as my job."

Instead, the coming bipolarity will be an era of uneasy peace between the two superpowers. Both sides will build up their militaries but remain careful to manage tensions before they boil over into outright conflict. And rather than vie for global supremacy through opposing alliances, Beijing and Washington will largely carry out their competition in the economic and technological realms. At the same time. U.S.-Chinese bipolarity will likely spell the end of sustained multilateralism outside strictly economic realms, as the combination of nationalist populism in the West and China?s commitment to national sovereignty will leave little space for the kind of political integration and norm setting that was once the hallmark of liberal internationalism."

Commenting on this year?s unprecedented military exercise in which 3,000 Chinese soldiers joined 300,000 Russians in practicing scenarios for conflict with Eastern Europe. Secretary of Defense Mattis said: see little in the long term that aligns Russia and China.? HE SHOULD look more carefully. What has emerged is what a former senior Russian national security official described to me as a ?functional military alliance." Russian and Chinese generals? staffs now have candid. detailed discussions about the threat U.S. nuclear modernization and missile defenses pose to each of their strategic deterrents. For decadesr in selling arms to China. Russia was careful to withhold its most advanced technologies. No longer. In recent years it has not only sold China its most advanced air defense systems. the 8-4005. but has actively engaged with China in joint r&d on rockets engines?and UAVs. Joint military exercises by their navies in the Mediterranean Sea in 2015. the South China Sea in 2016 and the Baltic Sea in 2017 compare favorably with U.S.-Indian military exercises. As a Chinese colleague observed candidly, if the United States found itself in a conflict with China in the South China Sea what should it expect Putin might do in the Baltics? iJ] i) Bili Moran The fight to keep ideas open to all - Open Voices 1 Chris ServelIOHb (6) Thu, Dec 13. 2018 at 10:03 PM To:(b) (6) (6) gmail.com Chris; SENBIEG (b (6) i ?4 (?41:11 Bill Moran (6) @gmail.com> spatial web the future of work Ernessages chris Servello (6) I .. at 559 PM To: (6) (6) ?igmailcom As tomorrow?s career model shifts from a "one-and-done graduate degree" to continuous lifelong education professional VR-based re-education will allow for a continuous education loop, reducing the barrier to entry' for anyone wanting to enter a new industry.

But any Western democracy that enters a ruthless race to the bottom with China will?and should?lose." China America The end of engagement How the world?s two superpowers have become rivals For the past quarter century America's approach to China has been founded on a belief in convergence. Political and economic integration would notjust make China wealthier, they would also make it more liberal, pluralistic and democratic. There were crises, such as a face-off in the Taiwan Strait in 1996 or the downing of a spy-plane in 2001. But America cleaved to the conviction that, with the right incentives, China would eventually join the world order as a ?responsible stakeholder". Today convergence is dead. America has come to see China as a strategic rival?a malevolent actor and a rule-breaker (see Briefing). The Trump administration accuses it of interfering in America?s culture and politics, of stealing intellectual property and trading unfairly, and of seeking notjust leadership in Asia, but also global dominance. It condemns China's record on human rights at home and an aggressive expansion abroad. This month Mike Pence, the vice-president, warned that China was engaged in a ?whole-of? government" offensive. His speech sounded ominously like an early bugle-call in a new cold war. Do not presume that Mr Pence and his boss, President Donald Trump, are alone. Democrats and Republicans are vying to outdo each other in bashing China. Not since the late 19405 has the mood among American businessfolk, diplomats and the armed forces swung so rapidly behind the idea that the United States faces a new ideological and strategic rival. Third Mi? Trump?s unique ability to signal his disregard for conventional wisdom seems to have been effective. He' Is not subtle or consistent but as with Canadian and MexiCan trade American bullying can lead to dealmaking. China wiil not be so easiiy pushed around?its economy depends less on experts to America than Canada and Mexico' 8 do and Mr Xi cannot afford meekly to disavow his Chinese Dream' In front of his people. Yet Mr Trump' 3 willingness to disrupt and offend has already Wrong-footed China leaders Could count onAmerica being unwilling to. rock_j.the boat. For what comes next, however, Mr Trump needs a strategy, not just tacticsA starting point must be. to'promote-Am'erica's values. as if he believes that mightis right. He shows _a oyniCal disdain. for the Vanities-America enshrined in globai institutions after the Second world war- lf-jhe follows that be-diminished as an ideaand as a moral-and. Pelitical force. When America competes with China as. a guardian of a rules-based order, it starts from a position of strength. But any Western democraCy that enters a ruthleSs race to the bottom with China will?and should?lose. The strategyshould leaveroom for-China to risepeacefully?"Which? inevitably- also means allowing China to extend its influence. That is ?partly" because .a zero-sum-attempt-sat containment is likely to lead to conflict. But, it is also because-America and China need to: despite their rivalry. The tvvo countries are. more commercially intertwined thanAmerioa- and the Soviet Union eyer Were. And they'share responsibilities including?even if Mr Trump? denies it?the environment and. security interests, such as the Korean peninsula.

Knowing my window was short, I took my one shot at an idea for him to consider. We have enough planners and strategists at the Joint Staff and high level service specific staffs. We send a few people out to get in economics and history and then - no offense folks - put them out to pasture to teach at service academies. This is stupid. What we need are people with practical experience at the tactical level to go out and get focused in economics and history and then roll them in to our planning staffs. The world is a complicated place. It is a world that more than any other time in the last century, is run by money and commerce. We need people who know how to look at economic and demographic trends. We need people who know how to take what direction the economic and demographic trends are taking us, and give it historical context. What small number of forces we have in Africa right now are worth every penny we spend. The challenge to global stability mid-century will come from Africa. The economic and demographic leading indicators are all blinking red. Stupid. WelL at least there are some stirrings in NATO at last about the concern.

The article in War on the Rocks and the two in Air Force Times were topped by similar editor?s notes explaining the use of a pseudonym, with both noting that this was not standard practice, but that they had allowed it ?to protect the author from serious rami?cations to his career.? Ned, I can assure you your head is safe (I am a ?Game of Thrones" fan too)! Not only do I agree with aspects of what you have written, I also love the fact that you have a passion for excellence and service that comes through loud and clear in your writing. At an official gathering of generals earlier this year, known to many in our service as CORONA, I gave a copy of your article in War on the Rocks as mandatory reading and used it to initiate discussion around the service's phased approach to overhauling officer performance evaluation and promotion systems. The approach starts with laying out ?what we value" and goes on to identify changes we can make right now as we refine and restructure. As leaders, when we stop accepting criticism and feedback, we run the risk of further distancing ourselves from the airmen we are privileged to lead and represent. Don?t stop TLte,-.

CFRorg editor Bob McMahon and I recorded our annual summer reading episode of CFR's ?The World Next Week" podcast. Carlos Lozada, the nonfiction book critic at the Washington Post, joined us for the conversation. We spent a fair bit of time asking Carlos questions about his craft. We eventually moved on to discuss a book we have read, a book we intend to read, and a book to take to the beach. That at least was the plan. As you can see below, we strayed from our guidance. Carlos?s picks were: What He Has Read. The Line Becomes a River: Dispatches from the Border, by Francisco Cantu. In this memoir of his nearly four years as a border patrol agent. Cantu describes the violence at America's southern border. It?s full of moving personal experiences and argues against building a wall. The List: A Week-by-Weeir Reckoning of anrnp's First Year, by Amy Siskind. What started as a list among friends turned into a viral sensation and now this book. Siskind, a former Wall Street executive, compiled a weekly list of actions taken by the Trump administration that she thinks pose a threat to American democracy. The list includes stories that dominated the front page as well as smaller but equally consequential decisions that otherwise would have gone unnoticed or been forgotten. The Piot Against America, by Philip Roth. In this novel, Roth imagines an alternative history in which Charles Lindbergh defeats FDR in the 1940 election. The book follows a family in Newark, New Jersey living in an America led by an isolationist and anti?Semitic Lindbergh. What He Has Read. Gina by Ron Chernow. A New York Times bestseller, Grant sheds light on the often misunderstood life and career of the Union general turned president. Ulysses S. Grant. Chernow?s biography breaks down urban legends and dispels rumors to provide the complete story of how an ordinary man turned extraordinary. What He Plans to Read. Taiispin.? The Peopie and Forces Behind America's Fiftv~Year Fate-and Those Fighting to Reverse it. by Steven Brill. Brill asks perhaps the most pressing question of the moment: ?Is the world?s greatest democracy and economy broken?" He lays out what is broken in America from income inequality to infrastructure. But he doesn?t just identify the problems, he also suggests who might be able to fix them. What He Plans to Read at the Beach. Lagos Noir, edited by Chris Abani. This collection of thirteen short stories takes readers on a journey through the bustling coastal city of Lagos, Nigeria. There they get to see both the bright and dark sides of Africa?s largest city. A Book He Has Read More Than Once: The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien. This fantasy trilogy with its epic story of good versus evil in the quest for the One Ring never seems to lose its relevance or popularity. My picks were: What I Have Read. The Worio? America Made, by Robert Kagan. Back in 2012, Kagan warned that if the United States turned its back on problems abroad to focus on problems at home it risked committing ?preemptive superpower suicide." His slim volume makes an even more compelling read today in light of President Donald Trump's hostility to America's post-World War II foreign policy. What I Plan to Read. Siaiin: Waiting for Hitler. 1929-1941, by Stephen Kctkin. The ?rst volume of Kotkin?s- planned trilogy of Stalin was named a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. The second volume details how Stalin consolidated power and found himself hurtling toward a confrontation he wanted to avoid with Adolf Hitler. Whatl Plan to Read When it Is Published in September. The Jungle Grows Back: America and Our imperiieol Worid, by Robert Kagan. Due out on September 18, The Jungie Grows Back continues the argument Kagan made in The World America Made: an American retreat from global leadership will mean a more dangerous and less prosperous world.

Wetmore Ethics Forum, at the United States Coast Guard Academy earty this year. We Americans are at a particularly consequential moment for our republic one that presents unique opportunities to contribute to veterans of our military. Despite the in doing so,-l believe that our veterans'can play a-critica'l role in helping to restore the American dream. wanes America is a "great country. We are the most. powerful nation'in the world --_militatily and economically but, most importantly, we are a .great nation beCaus'e we are-an exceptional nation, one-founded 'on a. unique set of principles-sandvalues-.? 'One of "the most fundamental of these is the animating principle of American. exceptionalism, the idea that America haisa special_'r_espons'ibility to the world to ensure, as? Lincoln said at: that ?government. of the people, by theapeop'le, for the people, shall not perish from the. earth."- America,- more than any other country in modern pursued and in many ways reaiize'd'that promise; A second, ?related idea'fundamental to the American "experimentis the idea of. individualism: ?Thatgovernment is best which Whatfl'east? means u?lp'Ifor debate. every-twin, four, and six years, when we have elections forthe Houseof Representatives, the presidency, and-the. Senate. My own definition will emerge from this-essay, but can be-summarized as therminimum government required to. ensure the: Constitutional rights df'all citizen's, along with real equality otopportunity. This tam'oLis quotation about limited government comes from Thoreau?s essay on civil disobedienCe, in which he argued that any-government'that goes beyond what is- necessary will lead to the atrophy of individual conscience andwith it, to acquiescence in injustice. Thor'eau's; individualism'is in fact necessary?to American enceptionalism, be?Cause-American .exceptionaiism is cnly?possible becauseof the American-dream, the Concept that each individual citizen "is provided the opportunity (but not the guarantee) of- iife, iiberty and the pursuit of happiness which. must practically include security and a modicum of material success.

Third, we are losing equality of opportunity, the fundamental American principle that says that'anyone?who works- hard and plays by the rules can succeed. 'In 1782, the U.S. Congress adopted a Great-Seal with a national motto: pluribus unum' - ?out of the many, one." You can read it ,on-any .coin in your pocket; And yet weseem to have turned .pltil?lbtis. unum into ?Out of themany Well, what, exactly?"

Losing Equality. of Opportunity Equality of opportunity is central to the American dream, Which holds that'so'meone withorit. regard to race, gender, ethnicity, religion, or-even what- country they-originally camefrom can. be successtil if they get an education, work hard, "and don?t break the law. Today, the combination of increasing economic inequality and declining social mobility threatens the equality- of opportunity at the core of the American dream. Le'trne. talk-?rstabout social mobility, beCau'se it takes a poor Second place to theivolume- o?f discossion about income inequality, and itn?eedslm?uch more attention than 'it-gets. It?s also the economic inequality is obviously a problem, it would be. much less of a pro'_blern in a society with highsocial mobility. Economists understand social mobility by looking atthe association between the income of parents and the income of their children. When that association is. toohigh, the rich have so much.- They begin looking for ways to create fundamental change. in my mind, nothing betterexplainsthe rise and unexpected election of "President Donald Trump. What. does rr-e'al'. equality Of opportunity lookilike?0n'ce again, look. n'ofarther thanthe armed services. Young offiCers won't become admirals? and generals based on family name, personal connections, having-gone to the "fight? school, .or skin color.- It is a. system based on merit,_where high quality- education is available for all through the. service academies, 0'08, and where if'you work hard-and. you are capable, you-have an equal opportunity to succeed. Crisis of Confidence have offered examples oftheway in which our military services have done agood job of remaining true'to the-American ideals that ?are most important to our future. I am not, however, suggesting that the military itself play a larger role in our democratic. society than it does-today. First-,fit is fundamental to. the idea of America'thatithe military 'se'rv'es :s'oCiety rather-than leads that military leaders serve atthe pleasure of their duly- .elected civilian George'Washington taught us that. Itishould. also "that, 1were the military ever=toaspire to a more eXpansive role in this country, it would quickly. find. itsimmunity to? the ills .of American society-compromised and. risk its clarity of'purpose and undermining ifs-competence, two things the military profession and" society hold dear. Atfthejsame time, wes'uffer of military :veteransin public life today. As an example, ?about one-fifth ofcurren't members. of Congress have served in the-military "compared to aboLit 75percent in thelate. 1970's, a' decline that ?Cannot be eXplained entirely byza transition'to snail?volunteer force: representation 'in Congress has gone hand in hand with its increasing polarization. A recentsurge of military veterans running for Congress in the upcoming? election cycle is- -an en'Couragin'g sign, but we have a long way to go "before the voices of this generation- of veterans. have the impact'they deserve. That we should have more veterans in congress: or other elected of?ce is not aradical proposal. While the. founders certainly-feared the power of a standing army Maidison means of defense againstforeign danger have-"always been the instruments cf?tyranny at home? does not seem they were worried. about those who. had returned to civilian life servingfin government Indeed, from the universal fsupportffor George 'Washihgton'sfpresidency to the late 197-Ds, when veteransmadeaup 7?5 percent. growing, and an' America that has lost. ?confidence? in three of our four major institutions in one case, utterly so. - How are we: to find our way back 'to'the spiritof bipartisan reason? Back to a-country where equality of-oppo'irtunity is not merely rhetoric but reality? Back. to: a country where'- e- plun'bus more is notjust a-mot'to but an overarching principle? The .answer is virtuous while they are not alone in their. capacity or 'obligation'to serve, our-veterans-are uniquely eddippedsa't?this moment to. provide the kind of leadership that America desperately requires; Virtuous Leadership This idea o'f'virtuous leadership comes- straight from the founding fathers. They.r were "human and thus flawed'in their: own ways, butjthey foresaw and contemplated the ?problems. have odtiined What ?would they ?make of and what would'they do about:? the- challenges we face today? .On the; collapse of bipartisan reason: The fou'n'derswere children of the.

He itemizes those facts. And he concludes by noting that the colonies are therefore declaring their independence. As for equality of there "in. the Declaration, too: We hold-these truths to be self-evident, that all man are created equal, are endowed by'their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are-life, liberty- a?n?d the pursuit of happiness. Those'?rst. dozen words, by-the-way the proposition that all-men are created equal constitute the mostipo'werful proposition in American hiStory. E-Verything flows from it, including, "of course, the abolition'of slavery, badly delayed though it was.- What, finally, about sectarian think of MadiSon?s? Federalist Number 10.. What happens, he eel-ts, when a'number of citizens are united by some common impulseof passion or interest adverse to therights- of othercitizens or the community? This is his de?nition of faction and it?s as good a de?nition oftoday?s politics-as you will ?nd anywhere. Franklin, among the greatest of. the 'fctinders', and the man who lived-the American dream through his-own iife. Franklin is widely studied, but not? often? as a leader. He profess'ionalized- Philadelphia?s system of watchmen, established an academy-that University of found away to issue. bonds to help Massachusetts in-the' dra?e?da? plan for the union of the colonies, helped draft the Declaration of Independence,- conctuded treaties with France? without.

't?m not. including everything Franklin did. I?m leaving out his work on electricity and his. many inventions, ?as well a's-his' Yes, Franklin made-?money ?'lo_ts of it, but healso dedicated himself-to personal, metal improvement and-to-socia?l progress in America. That-is the true American dream. Franklin was. far from perfect. His reputation is sullied by'the fact that he 'ownedjdomestic slaves and advertised the sale of. others in his newspaper. He.

New Round Of Incentives Aims To Keep Navy Pilots In Service COM 2 I MAR 18) Oriana Pawlyk 'I'he Navy has expanded three key aviation bonus programs in an effort to keep experienced active-duty and Reserve pilots in the cockpit longer amid a Pentagon-wide aviator shortfall. The service on Tuesday announced that it has shifted the timeline contract requirements for the Aviation Department Head Retention Bonus and Aviation Command Retention Bonus programs, according to a release. Furthermore, of?cers eligible for Aviation Incentive Pay could see a rate boost as early as April 15, the release said. "Our bonus and ?ight pay programs have proven successful in the past at retaining our best and brightest aviators," Capt. Michael Baze, head of aviation career management at Naval Personnel Command, said in the release. "However, these programs have remained essentially unchanged for well over a decade, and are beginning to lose their effectiveness in the face of growing competition for talent." Baze said the service asked aviators of all ranks how the Navy should best modernize the programs moving forward. "Aviators reported they wanted our programs to be more ?exible, merit based, and competitive with civilian opportunities," he said. "We took that feedback seriously, incorporating each of these elements in the program changes you see here today." The latest aviation bonus move comes weeks after Vice Adm. Robert P. Burke, chief of naval personnel, told lawmakers the bonuses are needed to retain more experienced aviators amid a Defense Department-wide pilot shortfall- "We continue to face challenges within some historically retuntiun-challenged communities, particularly among aviators in speci?c platforms," Burke said in a written statement provided to the Senate Armed Services Committee on Feb. 14. In accordance with the new policies, aviators eligible for the active-component department head bonus can choose from a five-year contract or a three-year contract. Those who choose an early ?ve-year contract will take more money home annually than those who choose the ?ve-year contract later or a three-year contract. "The eligibility timeline has shifted from the expiration ofthe aviator?s winging service obligation to their lieutenant commander board" for the bonus programs, the release said. This applies to of?cers selected for promotion to lieutenant commander who are within the ?scal year 2018 lieutenant commander statutory board or are being considered for department head in the FY19 Aviation Department Head Sereen Board (ADHSB). scheduled to convene on April 30. Should they take the early versus standard rate, Helicopter Mine Countermeasure Electronic Attack (VAQ), Strike Fighter (VFAJ, Carrier Onboard Delivery and Carrier Airborne Early Warning (VAW) pilots are eligible for as much as $175,000 over ?ve years. The numbers represent a $25,000 increase over last year's budget boost, which topped out at $150,000 over ?ve years. That was up from ?scal 2016, when bonuses over the term maxed out at $125,000. Meanwhile, the new Aviation Command Retention Bonus, or ACRB, will shift from a two-year, $36,000 total contract to a three-year, $100,000 total contract, the release said. "Members must select after screening for commander command and the obligation takes them through 22 years of service or the completion of their post?commander command tour, whichever is longer," it said. ACRE applicants must be screened as commanding of?cer of an eligible operational command, operational training command, or special mission command in order to apply, according to the policy. The eligibility window starts now and closes Aug. 31, the policy said. Lastly, for active or reserve component aviation incentive pay, of?cers who screen for and serve in administrative milestone billets will see a pay hike. Based on years of service, those in administrative milestone billets, such as department head and commander or major command, will receive the rate increase beginning April 15, the policy said. "Aviators who do not screen or serve in milestone billets. but continue to qualify for flight pay, will continue to receive flight pay, but at a different rate than aviators in milestone positions," the release said. Someone in an administrative milestone position between 10 and 22 years of service is eligible for $1,000 per month -- the most in that bracket, according to the policy. By comparison. an aviator not in an administrative role but still eligible for ?ight pay will receive $650 a month for the same timeframe, the policy said. "Aviation has taken a holistic approach that targeted increases in both ?ight pay and bonuses in a mutually supportive fashion with achievement of major leadership milestones." Baze said. "The end state will be a judiciously applied, merit based, more competitive continuum of pay for our top aviators from department head through post- commander command," he said. "Coupled with a range of non-monetary incentive improvements we are making, these changes will go a long way toward helping us retain the warfighting talent we need into the future," Baze said.
