Rubel The U.S. Navy finds itself on the cusp of a shift in the makeup and use of its forces as fundamental as that from sail to steam or from the battleship to the aircraft carrier. The shift has, in fact, already begun. Is the Navy truly ready and willing to take the next steps? The Heart of an Officer Joint, Interagency, and International Operations and Navy Career Development . 27 Admiral James Stavridis, U.S. Navy, and Captain Mark Hagerott, U.S. Navy The Navy’s current system for developing Unrestricted Line officers is stretched to the breaking point. External realities and circumstances unique to the Cold War produced the existing system. Changed conditions now necessitate reform and point to a comprehensive “three track” system for line officers. Gunboats for China’s New “Grand Canals”? Probing the Intersection of Beijing’s Naval and Oil Security Policies . 43 Andrew Erickson and Lyle Goldstein China’s seaborne energy imports have become as vital a lifeline as was a waterway known as the “Grand Canal” in the central part of the nation a millennium ago. But the strategic environment is very different today. Scholars of the Naval War College’s China Maritime Studies Institute examine how Chinese analysts perceive their oil-security challenges. Maritime History The Naval Battle of Paris. 77 Jerry W. Jones It was only a diplomatic “battle,” but disputes among the victors of World War I over the disposition of the German navy and freedom of the seas threatened to poison relations between Britain and the United States and nearly disrupted the Paris Peace Conference. The episode speaks to the importance of cooperation for peace and security. Published by U.S. Naval War College Digital Commons, 2009 7 2 NAVAL WAR COLLEGE REVIEW Naval War College Review, Vol. 62 [2009], No. 2, Art. 1 Fundamentals of Strategy The Legacy of Henry Eccles . 91 Scott A. Boorman Each generation must educate leaders for modern high command, creating an intellectual organization for the study of strategy and an environment conducive to original, valid, and valuable strategic insights. There are few better starting points than the pioneering contributions of the U.S. Naval War College in the age of Admiral Henry E. Eccles.

A global pandemic and resulting economic instability have sown tremendous uncertainty for now and for the future. Record- breaking natural disasters—hurricanes, floods, and wildfires—have devastated communities resulting in deep personal suffering. Meanwhile, we have entered the decisive decade for our Earth’s climate—with just ten years to halve global emissions to meet the goals set by the Paris Agreement before we cause irreparable damage to our planet and all life it supports. In spite of these immense challenges, when I reflect on this past year I am inspired by the resilience and hope we’ve experienced at Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI). This is evidenced through impact made possible by the enduring support of our donors and tenacious partnership of other NGOs, companies, cities, states, and countries working together to drive a clean, prosperous, and secure low-carbon future.

  • Astronaut Fact Book
    Information Summaries National Aeronautics and Space Administration JULY 2003 NP-2003-07-008JSC Astronaut Fact Book “Once you get to Earth orbit, you're halfway to anywhere in the solar system." -- Robert Heinlein JULY 2003 PREFACE The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) selected the first group of astronauts in 1959. From 500 candidates having the required jet aircraft flight experience and engineering training as well as height below 5 feet 11 inches, 7 military men became the Nation's first astronauts. The second and third groups chosen included civilians who had extensive flying experience. By 1964, requirements had changed, and emphasis was placed on academic qualifications; in 1965, 6 scientist astronauts were selected from a group of 400 applicants who had a Doctorate or equivalent experience in the natural sciences, medicine, or engineering. The group named in 1978 was the first of space shuttle flight crews and since then, 8 additional groups have been selected with a mix of pilots and mission specialists. There are currently 108 astronauts and 36 management astronauts in the program; 133 astronauts have retired or resigned; and 35 are deceased. Though most of the information in this document pertains only to U.S. Astronauts, several sections are included to provide information about the international astronauts and Russian trained Cosmonauts who are currently partners with the U.S. Space Program participating in the International Space Station endeavor. The non-U.S. information presented here was gathered from the biographies provided by the various space agencies with which these individuals are affiliated. Payload specialists are career scientists or engineers selected by their employer or country for their expertise in conducting a specific experiment or commercial venture on a space shuttle mission.
