?? On this day, April 19, 1897, Theodore Roosevelt begins his work as Assistant Secretary of the Navy, marking the beginning of a transformative chapter in his remarkable life. ??? As Assistant Secretary of the Navy under President William McKinley, Roosevelt made significant contributions to the modernization and expansion of the U.S. Navy. He was a passionate advocate for naval power and foresaw the importance of a strong navy in safeguarding America's interests and projecting its influence on the world stage. During his tenure, Roosevelt initiated reforms to improve the efficiency and readiness of the Navy, advocating for the construction of new battleships and the expansion of the naval fleet. His efforts played a crucial role in preparing the Navy for the challenges of the 20th century, including the Spanish-American War, where the U.S. Navy emerged as a formidable force. However, Roosevelt's time as Assistant Secretary of the Navy was not without controversy. His aggressive advocacy for war with Spain and his role in the sinking of the USS Maine in Havana harbor raised questions about his judgment and leadership. Despite the controversies, Roosevelt's dedication to strengthening the Navy and promoting American power abroad left a lasting impact on U.S. military policy and strategy. Today, we commemorate Theodore Roosevelt's appointment as Assistant Secretary of the Navy and recognize his enduring legacy as a champion of American naval power and national security. #TheodoreRoosevelt #AssistantSecretaryoftheNavy #NavalHistory #MilitaryLeadership #AmericanPower #HistoricalAnniversary #USNavy #TransformationalLeadership

Saw this in an email this morning. Fascinating. Human Factors in Combat: A groundbreaking course at the Naval Academy ?As future officers of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps prepare to face the complexities of modern warfare, a unique course at the U.S. Naval Academy is helping midshipmen address one of the most critical yet overlooked aspects of combat — the human element. The Human Factors in Combat course, now in its second semester, explores the physical, psychological, and emotional challenges faced by service members in combat environments. The course is designed to equip midshipmen with the tools needed to lead effectively in the most stressful of circumstances. Capt. Andrew Ledford, a professor at the Naval Academy and the lead instructor for the course, highlighted its importance in shaping future leaders. ”It's the human factors piece that is really, really difficult to discuss,” Ledford said. “But it's really, really important.” (usna.edu) Rafael Matos, Ph.D.

On behalf of the US Navy, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the Royal Australian Navy for locating the final resting place of the destroyer USS Edsall (DD 219), lost in a valiant battle against the Imperial Japanese Navy in the early days of World War II. The commanding officer of Edsall lived up to the U.S. Navy tenet, “Don’t give up the ship,” even when faced with overwhelming odds. The wreck of this ship is a hallowed site, serving as a marker for the 185 U.S. Navy personnel and 31 U.S. Army Air Force pilots aboard at the time, almost all of whom were lost when Edsall succumbed to her battle damage. This find gives us the opportunity for today’s generation of Sailors and Navy civilians to be inspired by their valor and sacrifice. The U.S. Navy would also like to take this opportunity to salute the valor of the crew of the Australian sloop HMAS Yarra, lost two days after the Edsall, under similar circumstances in a heroic battle against overwhelming odds. Finding the Edsall further cements the strong alliance that has existed between the United States and Australia since World War II, the relationship between the Royal Australian Navy and the U.S. Navy, further reinforced by the current Australia, United Kingdom, United States (AUKUS) trilateral security partnership. A key component of AUKUS is the development of the most cutting-edge underwater technologies of the type that enabled the discovery of Edsall in the vastness of the Indian Ocean, something not possible just a few years ago. These advanced technologies, enabled by interoperability between long-standing Indo-Pacific Allies and partners, ensure our collective capability to preserve the peace, respond in crisis, and win decisively in war, if called.

The Calvert Task Group’s mission is to support and defend the Constitution of the United States, the Navy and Marine Corps and the United States Naval Academy. We affirm the Navy’s traditional values of honor, courage and commitment and that are now under threat. We represent mostly Annapolis graduates, almost all of whom are current, former, or retired naval officers representing countless of years of Naval service. We reject the dangerous politicization of our armed forces. We believe our military must be a meritocracy and eliminate the influence of divisive ideologies and identity politics. We are current, former, or retired naval officers representing thousands of years of Naval service. We affirm the Navy’s traditional values of honor, courage and commitment and we believe those are under threat. We have observed with increasing alarm the dangerous politicization of our armed forces through the promotion of the divisive ideology of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. While sounding good, right, and politically correct, these carefully selected words are deceptive and destructive in nature when applied to social constructs that demand merit-based selection and exceptional leadership in potential life and death situations. We believe in equal opportunity and in merit advancement. These two factors are critical to unit cohesion, morale, and effectiveness. We believe the military, above all other walks of life, must operate under those principles. The Calvert Task Group was formed in 2021 as an association of U.S. Naval Academy alumni, led by members of the class of 1969. Our members believe that American Service Academies are exceptional institutions for developing future leaders prepared to assume the highest responsibilities of command citizenship and government. Our class motto – “Non Sibi” or “Not Self” – appears in the crest inscribed on our class rings and is a common bond that has molded our lives for more than half a century. We understand that if we are not part of the solution, we are part of the problem. We are committed. We are open to all Naval Academy graduates and also welcome others who agree with and are willing to support our cause. The Calvert Task Group (CTG) represents veterans and service academy alumni, most of whom are combat experienced. We have personally witnessed the unique, “color and gender blind” culture of our fellow warriors, necessary to prevail on the battlefield.

Today, we remember Americans who have been wounded in battle, have done courageous acts while at war or who gave their life for our freedoms. Purple represents bravery and courage, and it is the oldest military decoration presented to service members in the United States. It was first created by George Washington in 1782. ?
