Yet the Navy’s shipbuilding program remains heavily weighted in the other direction, producing small numbers of highly capable but staggeringly expensive multipurpose ships (including a Ford-class carrier, three Virginia-class submarines, and three Burke-class destroyers in 2020 alone). Over the next year, we are looking to build on these initial successes and improve the standardization of care that will improve patient experience and create a more efficient, responsive care structure.

The second objective is to “Advance Naval Professionals and their Profession.” The goal is to help naval professionals advance-—and thrive—through their careers.

The Air Force desperately needs to reduce its F-35 buy and start procuring smaller, unmanned, and eventually largely autonomous aircraft, just as Berger plans to do for amphibious shipping and watercraft. Crafted by newly appointed Gen. David Berger, it lays out a striking new vision for the Corps — and jettisons a sizable number of long-held Marine articles of faith along the way. We are extending the Institute’s reach and broadening its community, seeking a greater diversity of informed perspective from all professionals—young and old, enlisted and officers, civilians, and international professionals—to maintain the best, most effective forum possible. A recalcitrant, revanchist Russia is fielding new weapons and escalating the expression of its imperialistic cravings.
First, and most importantly, it needs to follow Berger’s lead in moving away from expensive, exquisite legacy platforms, and shift more rapidly toward far bigger investment in large numbers of cheap, unmanned, and expendable systems for a major war.
As always, I am honored and proud to serve as your Surgeon General. Berger’s powers of persuasion will be tested by skeptics in the ranks, by Congress, and, when it comes to reducing the number of large amphibious ships, by the defense industry as well.
