The U.S. Navy has the premier Surface Force in the world. Here are three key takeaways from Vice Adm. Brown to ensure the SWO Community embraces this reality.
Surface Force - Three Key Takeaways
What We Are
• We are a Surface Force second to none that controls the seas and provides the Nation with naval combat power when and where needed.
• We are the best, the fastest, the toughest, the smartest, and the premier Surface Force in the world. Embrace this reality and ACT LIKE IT. Don't let anyone on our team believe or say otherwise.
What We Have
• The Surface Force has combat ready ships, battle-minded crews, and an unrelenting drive to a culture of excellence.
• We are already making a difference by working closely with Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), Fleet Commanders, as well as utilizing the Perform to Plan (P2P) process.
• We are seeing dividends generated by the new Surface Force Training and Readiness Manual (SFTRM) and are delivering early wins by giving Commanding Officers time back for them to best prepare for the fight.
• We have a SWO Training Continuum second to none with state-of-the-art shiphandling trainers (M/I-NSSTs and MSTCs) and combat systems trainers, such as the Combined Integrated Air and Missile Defense and Air Trainer (CIAT) and On-Demand Trainers (ODTs).
What We Will Be
• The future of the Surface Force includes the Navy’s next guided-missile frigate (FFG(X)), Flight III Destroyers (FLT III DDG), Medium Displacement Unmanned Surface Vehicle (MDUSV), Large Displacement Unmanned Surface Vessels (LDUSV), Large Surface Combatants (LSC), Naval Operational Architecture, and mainstreamed Littoral Combat Ships (LCS).
• Within the next five years, the Navy will have 66 LCS crews. By comparison, we have built 68 destroyers over the past 30 years.
• We are making investments in weapons, sensors, C4I, cyber, people, and readiness for the fight to come.
• We must condition our officers and crews to have the tactical knowledge and proficiency, initiative, and grit needed to fully use these new capabilities with maximum lethality against any adversary.
