Maybe you’ve seen it before, maybe you haven’t. Still bears viewing.
As important as one of the bases for the Maritime Strategy as it is for the local school board in building its strategic vision and mapping out budgetary direction.
Here and elsewhere much has been written of the Doolittle raid, from the bookstand to Hollywood and the curriculum of War Colleges the world over. Coming fast on the heels of the stunning blows barely four months prior a malevolent arc of destruction and defeat stretching from Pearl Harbor back across the Pacific to…
Ed. As many know by now, the new strategy was released earlier this past week at the Naval War College and has generated a good deal of discussion. The expectation is that the level of that discussion will elevate next week around the blogsphere. In anticipation of that I asked the author if he would…
“We believe that preventing wars is as important as winning wars…(w)e will pursue an approach to deterrence that includes a credible and scalable ability to retaliate against aggressors conventionally, unconventionally, and with nuclear forces” – A Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower, October 2007 “…(O)ne of the things that we were stressing is an area…
Two years ago this week, the CNO, CMC and USCG Commandant released the naval services’ new maritime strategy – A Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower, at the International Seapower Symposium being hosted by the Naval War College in Newport, RI. The release of a new maritime strategy was significant given the length of time,…
 It is clear that the XFV-12A program will not enhance the image of naval aviation. Note that in this case the outcome was not only predictable, but was in fact predicted. As is so often the case, all of the principals in the decision have moved on in both OSD and the Navy. The task…
As we’ve previously noted, the new Naval Operating Concept, derived from the Maritime Strategy released over a year ago, was slated to be released sometime this month (October). Now it seems that release is delayed – no surprise given the coordination still being carried on within the Navy, much less that required between the Navy,…

I had seen this before. But it certainly doesn’t hurt to watch it again.
I have not seen this before so I offer a serious thank you.
I live in a flat world and knew it though I did not realize how flat until some recent reading.
In the past week I’ve resolved a technical solution speaking to competent engineers in India and Phoenix. I resolved another issue based on the experience of people from Russia, US, and Israel.
I’m designing a website based on a system developed by thousands from across the globe, with templating from a US online company with people in the US and abroad. I recommended web hosting to a lady in N.C. that was having problems with a server in Germany. I pissed off a borderline “Celebrity” with opinions on my website and we argued and talked and now I’m going to help him with a product which proceeds benefit sick children.
I almost bought a piece of software this week from a developer in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. A country that just 15 or so years ago was part of the Soviet Union but now has US Air Forces with a base and Russian Air Forces 22 miles away in the same country.
Until last June I managed the computers and network for a public school district in a town that contains a very forward thinking Navy base. I think these kids are in someways less globally prepared than with the education I received at a DODSS school in the 80s. I think we are failing our kids. I’ve seen with my own eyes.
The world IS getting flat.
It is happening exponentially.
We need to be better prepared.
I’m 39 years old and I have a foot in each camp, before the Internet and for the past 12 years, in the internet.
Ooops – gotta run – tech support call…
