Thomas Donnelly is a partisan. He stated, "This administration likes to pivot to Asia. Real policy puts a structured power in the region. Kindergartners pivot, not an American military." He states we need a more FORWARD presence in the region along with our allies.
FORWARD is a really big word for these folks. It is a war stance.
Donnelly is an idiot. He is a partisan and we don't know what the best presence in the Pacific is from him. He is single minded no different than his best friend Jeff Sessions. See, Sessions can go back to the US Senate and say he has support for his point of view no matter how stupid and WRONG it is.
Amazing, the full circle corruption that exists in our government and the permissiveness for the corruption by the advisers and private sector. That is why that book is a rare find. I almost made it out the door to the book store until I heard Donnelly.
Senator Ernst wants the National Guard embedded with the regular military and to train with them
Shawn Brimley wants the US Navy to 100% of unmanned status.
Senator Dan Sullivan has a love affair with the private sector and the people with the answers, not the Senators elected by the people. He also wants LNG to take a front and center place in the US military. Amazing the corruption that exists.
Different meeting - Defense and national Security Summit.
Vice Admiral Chris Aquilino states the navy is forward and is the response in a crisis.
Mr. Penison states the US Navy will soon move from 270 vehicles to 300.
Admiral Aquilino states the navy needs much more than 300 vehicles/ships....the current view on how we operate forward is based on group of ships out of Japan, Guam. It really is not about bases, it is about being where it matters when it matters.
Execution into the Pacific is done for the rebalance there. "Most capable things." Most advanced F-18s and ships are out there. The rebalance is more than just things, it is about partnerships and how we think about operating. Build a network of navies that can respond and support the global commons.
Globally deployed forces across events in each combat commanders. Those forces can shift where and when the crisis might be. IT IS ANYONE'S GUESS WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT, basically.
Does the navy know it needs intelligence? It would be helpful on the fuel bill.
Oh, sustainable model that delivers high end services for any threat. It is a variety of different imputs to provide a sustainable force to carry out a high end mission. The ships are ready to go to sea and the soldiers are aware of their condition in order to go to sea, it syncronized parts and supplies. Okay then.
The navy is smart enough to know they have to be flexible for deployment in 2017. CSG. Ypilones.

He also states humanitarian missions can be deployed in the same efficiency. Good deal. Global security for the global commons.

This 'talk' is a demonstration of the hard work the navy has carried out to serve the best interests of the USA. That is what this is.
Vice Admiral Aquilino is an excellent spokesman for the US Navy, it's structure and operational readiness. I like him a lot. He is not mired in macho statements about the navy. He is completely uninterested in partisan stature. He is very important to the way the USA thinks about it's navy. He is willing to be involved in humanitarian interests equally as national defense in a combat or 'presence' roll for the USA. He has no biased ideas. He understands the USA's compassion is as important as it's strength.

Climate Change is discussed in readiness.
The funding. He also articulates the need for multi-year funding for the navy as well as all the divisions of the us military. Evidently, it effects readiness.
He states he feels good about the Navy's readiness.
AFRICOM
Brigadier General Donald Bolduc is talking about team work between the soldiers.
There are partners in Africa for the USA forces. The AFRICOM command is unified and while ISIS (north africa) is a threat to the region, it is not the only and major potential threat. He identifies al Shabaab, Boko Haram and several other groups operating there. What he states is that ISIS (Daesh) is capable of cooping other groups. He doesn't state same for any of the other groups. He states the threat is regional and government militaries are beginning to identify that. In other words, up to now the existing militaries have been reacting to uprisings and not a sustained terrorist threat that is constant and not intermittent.
Lt. General Hodges and Russia with Ukraine - ISR (click here) were tied up in Centcom. 75% of their assets.
General Bolduc states they could always use more than what exists, but, that is true of anything regardless our preparedness. He recognizes the ISR as a global need.
He has several interrogators that hand down information to the operators of the vehicles. "Coffee breath close with our partners." Augmentation support with our embassies. "We are a supporting effort, not the effort directly. We have a soft structure to assist with NGOs, USAID. It is all about institution building."
New mission in Syria. We advise and consent and train and equipping. A new supportive role in Syria. These folks must be great communicators. They also integrate 'circumstantial evidence' into their process. They are thinkers, too.
"A meaningful and long lasting relationship is what these 23 countries are looking for." They want us there with them. Not to be a crutch, but, in support of what they are doing.
"The Leahy Amendment" It is about 'vetting' personnel. I hesitate to put a link here because people like Daesh can learn how to deceive THE PROCESS. But, it out here now, so here it is. (click here)

Over 3000 lra in triple canopy jungle and now we are down to 200 and they are on the run. The lra's are the 'Kony folks.' They made a lot of progress. Congratulation.
Chad, Camaroon and Niger are involved in the operational aspect countering the groups that breed death in their countries.
Nigeria has a more autonomous status in the region.
Activities involving these violent groups centers around natural resources. They get their money from foresting, diamonds, metal or whatever they find including wildlife that are exported to places like The West or China. They also use water resources such as Lake Chad. Once the country's natural resources are under the control of the elected government the groups/rebels cannot sustain themselves. These rebels are not capable of growing a sustainable society because of their violence.
We focus on the right people and not necessarily the technology. There it is. There will never be a 100 percent unmanned anything. People make a difference, not metal shrouded machines. End of meeting with the Brig. General. It was a good one. It was better than listening to US Senators that actually pretend to know something and know nothing but their own rhetoric.
One thing that also needs to be controlled for these countries is the flow of small arms.
CIA
Andrew Hallman - digital data - moving the analyst 'manial curation of data'
This isn't CIA, but, I think it relays the idea.
IT organizations (click here) have grappled with data quality issues for years. As IT environments get more complex, the data issues keep getting worse. IT has an entire set of best practices around ITIL—Asset Management, Service Management, Portfolio Management and more. But a lot of inefficiencies arise due to issues in the underlying IT data.
Basically what the CIA does for these countries is to help them understand a computer platform and extract quality data from it rather than hopelessly get lost in the volume available to them. Sometimes there are custom applications.
The countries have to access data, analyze data and pass it along for implementation.
Continued in next entry if necessary.
