FROM THE ACTIVE DUTY SIDE FROM THE COMMANDER. In today’s climate of lightening fiscal constraints and changing billet structures, we as leaders, trill base to show imagination and innovation if we are to continue to improve our support services and make them more relevant to expanding fleet requirements. Some redistribution of manpower assets is inevitable and traditional work patterns may have to be altered. New skill requirements are bound to emerge. Many of the qualifications that today's leaders need are the same as they have always been—honesty, integrity, and honor. They must also show initiative and enthusiasm and have the ability to persist in the face of frustration and reverses. Flexibility of thought and receptiveness to new ideas are also required. At the same time, sensitivity is required in order to avoid people problems. Then there is that most vital element of good leadership— consistency. People have shown over and over again that they will endure considerable hardship and adversity so long as these burdens are shared by all. Nothing is more destructive of morale than the inconsistent application of policy or directives. A good leader shows concern for all his people and an awareness of their needs. Who are these leaders that we have been describing? Are they the commanding officers? The division officers? The command master chiefs? The section leader? They are all of these and even more. Leadership is a relative term circumstance of the situation. In any given day the roles of leader s or followers for all of us replace each other many times. It is essential that each one of us prepare ourselves for the opportunities that change presents and adapt ourselves to this change so that we are all marching in the same direction when it is our turn to lead.

    DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER LIBRARY ABILENE, KANSAS EDWARD L. BEACH AND EVAN P. AURAND RECORDS 1953-1961 Pre Accession and A67-18 Processed by: HLP, LKS Date Completed: 3-29-83 SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE The records of the Office of the Naval Aide to the President span the years 1953 to 1961 and include the terms of two naval aides, Edward L. Beach (1953-1957) and Evan P. Aurand (1957-1961). About 60 per cent of the material is related to presidential trips and vacations, and this material tends to concentrate on matters of administrative detail and physical arrangement rather than matters of substance. These records are organized into five series. The first series is divided evenly into two subseries, one on the President's international trips and one on his domestic vacations and travels. The trips are arranged chronologically within each subseries, and the information on each trip is arranged either chronologically or topically. The bulk of this series consists of correspondence, including many classified naval messages and telegrams, briefing books, reports, schedules and itineraries, maps and diagrams, personnel and passenger lists, and printed logs of some trips. While there is only a small quantity of information on matters of policy and substance, detailed information on advance reparation for and the logistics of presidential travel are available in abundance in this series. The naval aide's office apparently served as a clearinghouse for routing requests and coordinating any Administration needs for Navy or Marine personnel or equipment. These needs could vary from a cook for Camp David to a heavy cruiser or aircraft carrier for a presidential cruise.

  • Vice Admiral Marmaduke G. Bayne US Navy
    Oral History Vice Admiral Marmaduke G. Bayne U.S. Navy (Retired) Conducted by David F. Winkler, Ph.D. Naval Historical Foundation 16 July 1998 26 August 1998 Naval Historical Foundation Washington, DC 2000 Introduction I first contacted Vice Admiral Bayne in 1996, it was in relation to another series of interviews I had intended to conduct with Secretary of the Navy Fred Korth. Bayne had served as Korth’s Executive Assistant and thus could provide an overview of the issues. He invited me to Irvington and was gracious with his time, providing me with good background material. At that time it became obvious that Bayne would be a good interview subject, however, he politely declined. Unfortunately, Korth fell ill and subsequently passed away so the planned interviews were never conducted. However, Bayne had a change of heart and agreed to a biographical interview that included the period that he served as Korth’s EA. Besides serving as a SecNav EA, Vice Admiral Bayne’s career is significant as he served in the Submarine Service during a period of transformation from WWII diesel boats to a force including nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines. In his interviews, Bayne details a career serving as a junior officer on a Fleet Boat in the Western Pacific battling the Japanese Empire to command of a missile boat flotilla in the Mediterranean Sea in the late 1960s. In addition, he served in several political-military posts, with his most important being Commander, Middle East Force. As COMIDEASTFOR, Bayne negotiated with the Bahraini government for an American naval shore presence there that continues to the present.

Established in 1909 as the School of Morine Engineering, as a port of the U.S. Naval Academy, it answered the need for advanced education of naval officers. In 1912 the School of Marine Engineering became the Postgraduate Deportment of the Naval Academy, and the scope of its engineering curri­ cula was broadened to include Ordnance, Naval Construction, and Civil Engineering. After a suspension of operations during World War I, the Deportment resumed operations in 1919 in a separate building on the Naval Academy grounds. Two years later it was officially designated the United States Noval Postgraduate School with a further extension of its curricula scope and growth of its enrollment taking place in the years between the two World Wars. In 1927 the General Line Course was started within the Post­ graduate School to acquaint junior line officers with modern developments taking place in the Navy and to broaden their professional knowledge by means of integrated courses in naval science. World War 11 caused an increase in enrollment from about 125 to over 600 and a tremendous expansion of activity; in contrast to the period of suspension during World War I.
