Navy, Marine Corps Agree on Readiness Standards for Amphibious Warships

The heads of the Navy and the Marine Corps settled on a standard to measure the readiness of the fleet of U.S. amphibious warships, according to a joint memorandum of understanding USNI News obtained this week.
The June 11 MOU, signed by Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Lisa Franchetti and Marine Commandant Gen. Eric Smith, lays out a common understanding of what it means for an amphibious warship to be ready to take Marines underway on deployment.

“The Navy and Marine Corps lack a common lexicon to discuss [amphibious warship] readiness, both internal and external to the Department of the Navy,” reads the memo.

“The Navy and Marine Corps require clearly articulated readiness terms to understand the availability of amphibious ships for training and operations.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Standards in a command are only as good as their consistent enforcement.
