Inouye Chairman, Subcommittee on Defense Committee on Appropriations United States Senate Dear Mr. Chairman: As you requested, we reviewed the Navy’s flying hour program to determine l what types of aviators are flying carrier-based aircraft, l the types and amounts of flying performed by such aviators, and . the relevancy of the flying to operations and training. We focused on the A-6, F-14, and F/A-18 carrier-based aircraft, although we also reviewed the flying hour program as it relates to other carrier-based aircraft. The information pertains to naval aviation prior to the commencement of Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. While the concepts discussed in the report and the prior years data presented are still relevant, the fiscal year 1991 budget data do not reflect the commencement of the air war in January 1991. The Navy and Marine Corps need well-trained, highly skilled aviators to Background effectively and successfully accomplish their aviation missions. The skills demanded of an adept aviator include the ability to strike naval and land targets, protect ships from air threats, and take off from and land on aircraft carriers. An aviator’s primary means of gaining and maintaining proficiency is through hands-on training funded by the flying hour program.

Napoleon The primary mission of the Medical Department of the United States Navy, of which the Hospital Corps is a part, is s To keep as many men at as many guns as many days as possible As a member of the Hospital Corps you can contribute directly to the job of keeping our guns firing. There is no better way to serve your country and your fellow man. If you can qualify for admission to the Hospital Corps, the Navy will train you for your duties. Prepared for the Occupational information and Guidance Service, Vocational Division, U. S. OFFICE OF EDUCATION, Federal Security Agency, by the Hospital Corps Section, Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, UNITED STATES NAVY . December 1, 1943 INTRODUCTION From its very beginning as an established Corps in 1898 the Hospital Corps of the United States Navy has been devoted to humanitarian service. It has administered first aid and nursing care to the sick and injured of the Navy and Marine Corps during three of the Nation’s wars, and through the many years of intervening peace. For more than a century prior to its organization by act of Congress* the pioneers of the Hospital Corps—the Hospital Mates, the Hospital Stewards, the Surgeon’s Stewards, the Apothecaries, the Nurses and the Bay men—served faithfully and energetically in the Medical Department of the Navy. On numerous occasions of the past members of the Hospital Corps have been assigned to civilian areas for first-aid and relief work in times of disaster.

Hattendorf: The Idea of a “Fleet in Being” in Historical Perspective THE IDEA OF a “FLEET IN BEING” IN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE John B. Hattendorf he phrase “fleet in being” is one of those troublesome terms that naval his- torians and strategists have tended to use in a range of different meanings. TThe term first appeared in reference to the naval battle off Beachy Head in 1690, during the Nine Years’ War, as part of an excuse that Admiral Arthur Herbert, first Earl of Torrington, used to explain his reluctance to engage the French fleet in that battle. A later commentator pointed out that the thinking of several Brit- ish naval officers ninety years later during the War for American Independence, when the Royal Navy was in a similar situation of inferior strength, contributed an expansion to the fleet-in-being concept.

  • Historical Perspective on Meade's Actions Following the Battle Of
    HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE ON MEADE'S ACTIONS FOLLOWING THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG Terrence L. Salada and John D. Wedo Pursuit and destruction of a defeated army is an often unfulfilled wish of both generals and history. Accounts of battles sometimes offer a postscript similar to this: "But General (or Admiral) So-and-So did not pursue and destroy the enemy thereby losing an opportunity to end the war then and there." In many cases, the battles are tremendous victories, such as Borodino in the Napoleonic wars, Shiloh in the American Civil War (referred to hereafter as simply the Civil War), and Midway and El Alamein in World War II (WW2). This is particularly true for the Battle of Gettysburg in the Civil War and the Union commander, Major General George Meade. For almost no other battle is the criticism of no quick pursuit and destruction more injurious to the reputation of the victorious commander. This paper first presents a summary of the arguments pro and con for a pursuit after Gettysburg. It then presents the core of the paper, a meta-analysis of five decisive victories without pursuit and the conditions leading to those decisions. These battles span roughly 130 years, occur on land and sea, and include three wars. The objective is to present Meade's decision in a historical context both in situ (discussing only that battle) and in comparison with other such decisions. The goal is to ascertain whether historiography has been more critical of Meade than others. The hope is that examination 1 of the actions of other commanders of great victories will open the door for a different interpretation of Meade's actions.
