🌐 ARCTIC CIRCLE -- Forces from the U.S. Navy, U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, Canada, Denmark, Norway, and the United Kingdom recently concluded high-impact training throughout the pan-Arctic region; a vast area stretching from Alaska all the way across Canada and into Greenland. Arctic Edge 24, a U.S. Northern Command exercise, emphasized integration and Joint Force tactical effectiveness in a variety of chilly scenarios such as: diving, helicopter fast roping, swift insertions, snow mobile tactics, long-range endurance-building movement -- all culminating in the Joint Force responding to a fast-attack submarine event. 🔥 This training epitomizes the nation’s unwavering commitment to maintain an enhanced presence, strengthen cooperative partnerships, and build a more-capable Arctic maritime force. 🌊 Capt. Bill Gallagher, Naval Special Warfare Group TWO Commodore, emphasized his team’s unique capability to conduct complex operations in the water column and maritime domains like the Arctic where presence helps deter aggression and demonstrates the unwavering preparedness to defend the homeland in the Arctic. Naval Special Warfare stands as the nation’s elite maritime special operations force, extending the Fleet’s reach and securing access for the Joint Force in both competition and conflict. 🔱 View entire story here: https://lnkd.in/gg-dC-rq #ArcticEdge24 #SpecialOperations #ArcticSecurity #NavySEALs #NavySWCC #USSOCOM

America needs the logistical ability to defend supply lines & project mass around the world. Rebuilding shipbuilding & sealift capacity will take *many* years to fix. Given the timeline, such an effort may not decide the outcome of the war — other than heavily constraining our ability to project & sustain power overseas. However, at minimum, it will make an enormous difference to the post-war balance of power.

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.

Defense officials from the United States Department of Defense 🇺🇸, #Norway 🇳🇴, and the UK Ministry of Defence 🇬🇧 recently concluded a conference with Naval Special Warfare in Virginia Beach, June 24-27, 2024. The constructive discussions focused on establishing common standards for Arctic-capable forces, optimizing intelligence-sharing practices, and facilitating persistent training and engagements. The three countries noted the need to enhance readiness and effectiveness in addressing evolving operational challenges in the #Arctic and High North. Commander of Naval Special Warfare Command - Navy SEAL & SWCC Teams, Rear Adm. Keith Davids, said “These important partnerships enhance the security cooperation between the United States, the United Kingdom, and Norway and are crucial for addressing common security threats. These strategic partnerships strengthen our collective defense, enhance stability, and encourage competitors to adhere to international norms." #SOF #People #Partners #Teammates

Presumptive new INDOPACOM boss on China's massive navy: 'We are not overmatched' “We're a joint force that thinks in a multidomain mindset…And that is the kind of formations in maritime terrain, those are forces on land that can affect events that the maritime, that can shoot, move, communicate and impose costs against the [adversary’s] naval force to augment the [U.S.] Navy force at sea. And then further, the 21st century capabilities -- unmanned capabilities from the seabed to the heavens, that can also affect lethal effective fires.” https://lnkd.in/ezZUrrmk

CAMRE continues to break down barriers of what is possible in expeditionary #advancedmanufacturing. Processes traditionally constrained to factories such as heat treatment are being pushed to the edge with the help of individuals like the Naval Postgraduate School’s doctoral candidate LCDR Zachary Vrtis, PE, under the supervision of Dr. Emre Gunduz. These actions are vital for the Defense Industrial Base and successfully completing battle damage repair at sea. Well done by the entire team in support of SALVEX with Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA)! #additivemanufacturing #irttw https://lnkd.in/ggBB8kbE
