Very insightful article. Sun Tzu said Know the enemy and know yourself in a hundred battles you will never be in peril. When you are ignorant of the enemy but know yourself, your chances of winning or losing are equal. If ignorant both of your enemy and of yourself, you are certain in every battle to be in peril.
China Navy Watchers: Ever wondered how China’s Navy conducts war games or how it emulates U.S. or regional navy’s actions? This article, by #CMSI’s own Ryan Martinson, details how China’s Navy Command College’s “Blue Team Center” operates. It provides groundbreaking insights into simulations the center conducts, the challenges it faces, and how lessons from war games are integrated back into the fleet. A must read for #China #Navy watchers! Kudos to U.S. Naval Institute Proceedings for publishing Ryan’s penetrating insights! #BadPanda Andrew Erickson Bill Hamblet

Today, I had the opportunity to expand my knowledge on the U.S. Naval Community College. I encourage all Naval Leaders to read these interesting facts and nominate a creditable Sailor from their command. USNCC provides naval-relevant associate degree levels and stackable certificates in naval-relevant fields to enlisted service members. It became established in 2021 in order to progress war fighting skills capability. Partnering with regionally accredited universities, its goal is to remain responsive to the fleet through emerging Navy programs and needs such as leadership, engineering, data analytics, cybersecurity, aviation and many more. It does not limit service members to in rate only specific classes. It does not touch TA or GI Bill funding. It does not require a specific time in service. It’s 100% funded. To enroll: -command nomination or apply online -application screened -command approves -candidate notified of admissions and next steps

A really good long form article (with data) illustrating the tension at Service academies between the need for diverse perspectives in their officer corps and systems that often disadvantage the diverse individuals. While this tension is seen in the experiences of the socio-economically diverse and prior enlisted (both apply to me), it is most acute for racial diversity because it is an ever-visible part of a students identity. The academy prep schools like the United States Military Academy Preparatory School provide immense value by improving the access to and success of these more of these diverse populations. However, the core quantitative “meritocracy” of the academies present inherent challenges evidenced by the data in this article. The article sums up the challenges of quantifying every aspect of “merit” for officer candidates: “Owens has expressed concern that cadets are too often treated as numbers: their GPA or class rankings that determine who gets coveted assignments such as a place in flight school…But I've been talked down to more because of my class rank than because I'm a Black man."

Naval Postgraduate School, particularly the non-resident program, is a drastically underutilized program. I was intimidated by the idea of pursuing my MS while on active duty. This is a school designed specifically for us with programs which make us more successful in both our current AND future careers. 1) The faculty are mostly active, former, and retired military and GS. They know what it means to serve and are personally motivated to support us. Their first job is to teach. From the application process to the class structure and schedule, everything is designed to help us succeed, even if it has been a minute since we have been in a professional academic setting. 2) The curriculum is designed for military personnel and the work we do. It is directly applicable to the work we do. Even our Capstone/Thesis directly support the operating forces. Examples: - My probability and statistics class was taught by an Army LTC who showed us how he used those fundamentals to build a predictive model to assist TMCC/UMCC in Afghanistan to predict high IED risk routes and keep convoys safe. - My modeling and simulation class had us building models that simulated complex attacks against surface action groups to estimate ASCM salvo requirements and predict survivability for the SAG. - My Capstone was building an architecture for a detect and avoid capability for Group 4/5 UAS. I worked alongside students whose day job was at NAVAIR developing UAS programs of record. That project has helped me on my current job developing an operational test plan for ground vehicles with automated driving capabilities. The project was submitted by one of my classmates’ supervisors for an existing program of record.
THIS IS A MUST SHARE WIDE AND FAR!!! I am reaching out to ensure the widest dissemination of the FY24 MARADMIN (second year) recently published that is soliciting for SNCO's to attend the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) in pursuit of their Master's degrees. With the recently signed off Smart Act, a change to U.S. Code Title 10 allows for the attendance of enlisted service members at NPS. Please help ensure we find the right Marines for this tremendous opportunity so that we can ensure it sustains and grows in the future. Thank you for your time and consideration. MARADMIN for submission: https://lnkd.in/gNugX9ks Press Release on Title 10 change: https://lnkd.in/e25F26yM Here are the current SNCOs who are attending from the FY23 MARADMIN: From left (front row): Staff Sergeant alyssa falge, Gunnery Sergeant Jeka Talaa; (back row) Gunnery Sergeants James Stalker and Glenn Miller, Staff Sergeant Ray G., and Gunnery Sergeant Jacob Thornton.

Absurd. CMOW, at least MSOC, changes the way Navy officers and senior SNCOs think. That’s education, not training. MSOC actually transforms tacticians into officers at the front end of being able to employ Operational Art with some agility atop newly learned ideas and approaches. When they hit the Fleets, many report that they often get crushed by 0-6s and FOs who have spent their entire career excelling at the tactical level within their tribe and are pejorative towards things like the NPP and how to wield it as a weapon. It seems, the author has no idea what CMOW does. If the author thinks that the JPME courses are delivering what Combatant Commanders need from graduates of the Naval War College, I think he is also off base. I also think the Navy doesn’t ask or, maybe until this CNO, doesn’t care. One, the Navy doesn’t select NWC attendees like the other services do. No tie to promotion or command. Rare follow on orders to a Joint Command or MOC in most cases. Thus, I conclude the US Navy Culture has an anti-education bias. Their certifications substantiate this. The warfare tribes don’t reward attendance. I got a Masters from the NWC. Rather happy about it. However, NWC was only of value to me because I came with planning experience, understood the OLOW, Joint Factors, Functions, and Principles. Not so for most Navy Officers. So, if the NWC wants to be a Masters Program, and a College like Brown, so be it. I hope not. The Naval WAR College must balance its curriculum by establishing a laser focus on Naval Warfare, balancing the theory of pure PhDs with the warfighting experience of well educated and degreed ‘Professors of Practice,’ and get the College on a war footing. Now.

Two great things about this article: (1), a Navy SEAL explains why classic literary works are relevant and (2), the military tradition of the after-action report has apparently been turned into a college class. One can only hope more classes like this will pop up at other college campuses. And if a few more people switch their major to literature because of this SEAL’s advice, that would be even better.

Charles Bolden Jr., a former NASA administrator and the second Black Marine aviator ever promoted to general officer, and Bolden’s son Ché, a 26 year Marine Corps veteran, led an independent study to yield a road map for closing the gap in Black fighter pilots. Two years later, the study’s "most transformative recommendations" have not been implemented. These include (i) new pathways to reach and recruit African-Americans, such as selecting more Black enlisted troops for officer training and removing a four-year service requirement, (ii) establishing an additional military feeder school at an HBCU, with aviation-specific recruitment programs, and (iii) having the Marine commandant serve as chief diversity officer, to show that top leadership embraces diversity. Several obstacles cited, for example, the lack of access to expensive resources to help prepare for such positions, such as prior flight experience, and the lack of knowledge about existence of the opportunity itself, are similar to the issues faced by people of color when looking at attempts to diversify the pipeline of candidates in other fields, such as law. #dei #diversityequityinclusion #blackleaders #marines #military #HBCUs #racialjustice #aviators #fighterpilots #chiefdiversityofficer #pipeline #americaisnotcolorblind
