Vice Adm. Jeffrey Trussler, Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Information Warfare, discussed the potential vulnerabilities such as disruptions in supply lines, logistics, and equipment and explained how these capabilities could benefit from increased protections through “defense-in-depth” mitigation.
Chief of Naval Personnel Vice Adm. John Nowell highlighted the Navy’s current inclusion and diversity efforts in the fleet including the Task Force One Navy program.
Sea service leaders from the Navy and Marine Corps also discussed leveraging maritime partnerships in the expeditionary warfare environment to enhance fleet capabilities.
“It’s an exciting time to be working in the expeditionary forces,” said Marine Corps Brig. Gen. David Odom, Director, N95 Expeditionary Warfare during panel discussions. “Our expeditionary forces have the ability to project combat power across the spectrum of competition right now.”
To illustrate this, Odom cited Talisman Sabre 2021, the largest bilateral combined exercise led by the Australian Defence Force and the U.S. military. The exercise includes 17,000 military personnel and seven nations participating on land, air and sea.
“We’re actively engaged with the fleet to maintain the learning continuum so we can feed that back into our personnel who are our most decisive, competitive advantage, and prepare them to think and operate in the strategic competition environment,” said Odom.
Navy Capt. Jeffrey Morganthaler, Maritime Operations Center director, Navy Expeditionary Combat Command, shared the state of the sea services’ approach to unmanned technology and artificial intelligence in the expeditionary domain.
