SPAWAR,

The US Fleet Cyber Command / US TENTH Fleet strategic plan for 2015-2020 was recently released and provides tremendous insight into operational environment and priorities of cyber warfighting. The plan’s five key goals are:

 – Operate the Network as a Warfighting Platform
 – Conduct Tailored Signals Intelligence
 – Deliver Warfighting Effects Through Cyberspace
 – Create Shared Cyber Situational Awareness
 – Establish and Mature Navy’s Cyber Mission Forces

Our vision and the work we do at SPAWAR will be very important to the achievement of these goals…

Words on paper

You don’t have to do more than send your words on paper, but you must not do less.  You deserve that black cloud over your head when you don’t write, because your silence has made someone think that you don’t care.  You deserve that shining halo over your head when you do write, because that note is going to show the reader that you do care.  When a note you owe is written, stamped, and mailed, you will rightly feel you are in a state of grace.

Overlooked skills

What do you think is one of the most overlooked skills in the Navy officer corps?
According to former CNO ADM Arleigh Burke, it’s writing. I have to agree. I’m sure ADM Jim Stavridis could, as well. It’s not merely about communication. More importantly, it’s about thinking in a more disciplined way. When you put words on a sheet of paper, or a computer screen for that matter, you immediately begin to analyze what you’ve written. It’s there for you to see. Your ideas matter. Write them down. Share then.

Expect opposition

Mitt Prigee sold me the original of this cartoon and it is hanging in the Secretary’s DC office.  His thank you letter hangs in my office.
“Don’t be afraid to think for yourself – to take risks, and try new things. You may meet resistance along the way – expect opposition – but don’t be dissuaded. Progress in life has come generally from those who swim upstream.”
Donald Rumsfeld, former Secretary of Defense
