Here’s another entry in the
Category of Oblivious Navy Leadership.
“The Navy’s Pacific Fleet is standing up a new
command that will consolidate training and certification oversight for ships
based in Japan
Dubbed the Naval Surface Group Western Pacific, the
new command will help ensure 7th Fleet ships are properly certified.”
The entire command
structure, including CNO Richardson, utterly failed to properly oversee the 7th
Fleet training, personnel needs, and certifications so the solution is to
create yet another layer of oversight?
Cause, yeah, this one will work even though none of the existing ones
did.
Hey, Navy, why not try
making the existing command structure do what it’s supposed to do?
Yes, that means fire the
entire 7th fleet chain of command, including CNO Richardson, and all
their staffs and start over. Clean
house. Are you proud of the job you’re
doing, Richardson

I see that the 7th Fleet already had a command for its destroyers and cruisers as part of Task Force 70:

Creating another shore based command sound like they are just hoping it will go away. Unless they have the authority to pull in properly trained people from within the entire USN what possible fixes could they come up with ?
Typical, instead of fixing the problem just put more people in the top of the thing. I wonder how many more crewmen we could get for all those land admirals and top officer slots?
ReplyDeleteSpot on!
DeleteMuch larger and systemic problem captured in this piece that connects the dots...IMO, the situation is almost unrecoverable:
