Truver: Wanted: U.S. Navy Mine Warfare Champion COMMENTARY WANTED U.S. NAVY MINE WARFARE CHAMPION Scott C. Truver Successfully implementing innovation within a bureaucracy ultimately requires a champion to navigate the inherently political processes of securing sponsorship and resourcing. This is just as important to the very small as to the very large programs, particularly during periods of fiscal austerity. “It’s fragmented,” com- mented retired rear admiral Paul Ryan, former commander of the U.S. Navy’s Mine Warfare Command, in April 2014. “There is no single champion for mine warfare.”1 This lack of support presents challenges for the U.S. Navy and the nation, as the service struggles to articulate, and to muster the necessary backing for, mine warfare (MIW) strategies, programs, capabilities, and capacities. The task of confronting these challenges is complicated by the fact that MIW comprises not only mine-countermeasures (MCM—that is, minesweeping and mine hunt- ing) systems and platforms but also mines that can be employed to defeat our adversaries’ naval strategies and forces. -

We made remarkable progress in our efforts have already seen a return on our investments in more efficient energy to achieve greater energy security for the use. Last year, we launched the first hybrid ship in the Navy, the USS Navy and the nation. I am committed to Makin Island. In its maiden voyage, the Makin Island saved almost $2 positioning our Naval forces for tomorrow’s million in fuel costs. Over the lifetime of the ship, we can save $250 challenges, and changing the way the million at last year’s fuel prices.

DISSERTATION APPROVED BY Date J Moss Breen, Ph.D., Chair Tim Guetterman, Ph.D., Committee Member Moss Breen, Ph.D., Director Gail M. Jensen, AN EXPLORATION OF THE INFLUENCE AFLOAT MAINTENANCE HAS ON THE 21ST CENTURY NAVAL SAILOR’S REENLISTMENT DECISION ___________________________________ By KATHRYN SAMPSON WIJNALDUM ___________________________________ A DISSERTATION IN PRACTICE _________________________________ Submitted to the faculty of the Graduate School of Creighton University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education in Interdisciplinary Leadership _________________________________ Omaha, NE April 6, 2019 Copyright ©2019, Kathryn Sampson Wijnaldum This document is copyrighted material.

Similarly, during periods of lengthy maintenance for afloat naval commands sailors’ ability to perform their tasks in the scope of their trained occupational specialty is challenged. Maintenance availability periods are a vulnerable time for first-term enlisted sailors, and their mentorship and development must become a command's priority if the goal is to retain trained personnel. -

Making Program/Budget Decisions about the Future of the Navy: How Senior Flag Officers Work with Political Appointees and Career Civilian Executives inside the Navy Headquarters A Dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at George Mason University by Robin Lee Farley Master of Public Policy Harvard Kennedy School, 1989 Bachelor of Arts University of California, Berkeley, 1986 Director: Ann Baker, Professor Department of Public Policy Summer Semester 2014 George Mason University Fairfax, VA Copyright: 2014 Robin Lee Farley All Right Reserved ii DEDICATION This work is dedicated to my wife Karyn Barlow, and our two wonderful children Emma Grace Farley and William Robert Barlow Farley who all endured countless hours outside the house, or quiet inside, while “dad’s doing his dissertation.” iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This project would never have been completed were it not for the support and encouragement of my wife, my family and friends and my co-workers. I would especially like to recognize the anonymous contribution of the dedicated public servants who agreed to participate in this study and by sharing their experiences of working together making decisions about the future Navy, helped contribute to a more thorough understanding about how the Department of the Navy headquarters actually works. I would like to acknowledge the support of my supervisor and co-workers at CNIC. They kept the proverbial trains running while I took time off to finish this project. Finally, I would like to thank the members of my Committee and Professor Baker, my Committee Chair for her endless patience, understanding and faith that gave me confidence when I was at the point of giving up and whose gentle but firm guidance was instrumental in bringing this project to completion. -

By using gender as an analytical category, I offer new insights into military operations, which in turn inform practices of citizenship in the contemporary US. Building upon analyses of male dominance, masculinist culture, and homosociality in the military, I depict the constant struggle within the military to preserve and promote particular constructions of masculinity. Using the recent integration of open homosexuality within military ranks, the end of the combat ban for women, and the military’s public acknowledgement of the epidemic nature of sexual assault within its units as focal points, the dissertation analyzes how hegemonic military masculinity attempts to cope with explicit episodes of “degendering” and how it works directly and indirectly to “regender” itself as a system of hetero-male privilege. Informed by interpretivist methodologies, I develop a postpositivist analysis of gendered mechanisms of exclusion within the US military. -
