Exciting Milestone for Project 2032! In late October, two key Memorandums of Agreement (MOAs) were signed to advance the Project 2032 initiative, aimed at updating the history of Naval Intelligence as we approach our 150th anniversary. These agreements were formalized between the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI), Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC), and the Naval Intelligence Professionals (NIP). The ONI-NIP MOA was signed by Vice Admiral (Ret) Robert (Bob) Sharp and Commander, Office of Naval Intelligence, Rear Admiral Mike Brookes on October 30, 2024. Meanwhile, Rear Admiral Brookes and NHHC Director Rear Admiral (Ret) Sam Cox finalized the ONI-NHHC agreement. Under the leadership of Lynn Wright, Project 2032 builds on Captain Wyman Packard's foundational work, A Century of Naval Intelligence, with a special emphasis on post-Cold War activities. We are actively seeking researchers, writers, and professional editors to contribute to this important work. If you're interested in participating, please reach out to us at [email protected].
