Attachment – South Carolina Vet State Benefits Attachment – Military History Anniversaries 16 thru 31 JAN (Updated) * DoD * 3 Military Unmanned Ships Update 01: US Navy’s Surface Force Directed to Develop Concepts The head of the U.S. Navy’s Fleet Forces Command has ordered the service’s surface force to develop a concept of operations for both the large and medium unmanned surface vessels in development, according to a 19 DEC message seen by Defense News. The message, which was coordinated with U.S. Naval Forces Europe and U.S. Pacific Fleet, directs the surface fleet’s Surface Development Squadron to develop concepts for “the organization, manning, training, equipping, sustaining, and the introduction and operational integration of the Medium Unmanned Surface Vehicle and Large Unmanned Surface Vessel with individual afloat units as well as with Carrier Strike Groups, Expeditionary Strike Groups, and Surface Action Groups.” A rendering of DARPA's Sea Hunter, which has been transferred to the U.S. Navy's Surface Development Squadron. The squadronhas been tasked with formulating a comprehensive concept of operations for unmanned ships. The message comes after a long battle with Congress over funding for unmanned surface combatants, during which lawmakers expressed skepticism that the Navy was knowledgeable enough about the technology for which it was seeking funding. Ultimately Congress appropriated funds for the Navy to buy two large unmanned surface vessels, but lawmakers forbade the service from equipping the vessels with vertical launch tubes, as the Navy intended. The concepts of operations is meant to define what would be considered “initial operating capability” for the medium and large USVs and goes on to define what those platforms are intended to do. “Medium Unmanned Surface Vehicle will be a high-endurance vessel with capacity for carrying various modular payloads,” the message read. “Large Unmanned Surface Vessel will be high-endurance vessel equipped with Vertical Launch System (VLS) cells. “The Medium Unmanned Surface Vehicle will initially focus on intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) payloads and electronic warfare (EW) systems, while the Large Unmanned Surface Vessel will focus on surface warfare (SUW) and strike missions.” The message directs the Surface Development Squadron, which was created last year to incorporate new technologies such as the DDG-1000 and Sea Hunter into the force, to examine several areas of consideration. The group is to examine command and control for the platforms, as well as potential challenges with interoperability and communications; examine issues with basing, maintaining and supporting the new platforms; look at what the vessels will need in terms of sensors, computers and various supporting systems; and look at what kind of training and

  • Spring 2016 ● Vol
    2016 Spring Edition The Newport Commandery is proud to announce that on 5 March 2016, Naval War College historian and professor John B. Hattendorf was awarded a Doctor of Letters (D.Litt.) degree from the University of Oxford, England. The degree is considered above the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) or Doctor of Education (Ed.D.). It is issued on the basis of high achievement in the respective field or a long record of research and publication to candidates whose record of published work and research shows conspicuous ability and originality and constitutes a distinguished and sustained achievement. The Naval Order has been invited to honor our Historian General, Professor John Hattendorf, on his impending retirement from the Naval War College by subscribing to a book Strategy and the Sea published by Boydell & Brewer. For those of us who are new to the publishing world’s terminology, the word “festschrift” is a volume of learned articles and essays contributed to an edited work by the colleagues and admirers of a scholar, generally as a tribute upon retirement. A “tabula gratulatoria” is a page in that volume that contains the names of people who have contributed either by writing a chapter of the volume, or by helping fund the effort. Each commandery can have its name printed in the tabula by subscribing to the book. Individuals in the commandery can also have their names printed by purchasing their own copy of the book. This book would make a lovely gift for speakers or commandery raffles. John B. Hattendorf is the Ernest J.

Something felt vaguely familiar about Adorno’s pessimism, Marcuse’s radical critique of the establishment and common sense, and especially Fromm’s socialist humanism and his emphasis on love. While I did not know why then, I now believe it was in part because their writings weren’t dissimilar to the values my parents instilled in me

PREFACE To Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War was essentially a people's contest over the maintenance of a government dedi- cated to the elevation of man and the right of every citizen to an unfettered start in the race of life. President Lincoln believed that most Americans understood this, for he liked to boast that while large numbers of Army and Navy officers had resigned their commissions to take up arms against the government, not one common soldier or sailor was known to have deserted his post to fight for the Confederacy.
