SAN DIEGO—The chief of naval personnel recently visited Information Warfare Training Command San Diego to engage with instructors serving in the region.
During the Aug. 12 visit, Vice Adm. Richard Cheeseman met with active-duty and civilian cadre who are instrumental in providing information warfare training to enlisted, officer and joint service personnel in the 3rd and 7th Fleet areas of responsibility.
The chief of naval personnel expressed his gratitude for their unwavering dedication and many contributions to preparing a force that is more lethal and survivable because of the training emphasis on assured command and control, battlespace awareness and integrated fires to achieve freedom of maneuver across all warfighting domains.
The visit also included discussions about initiatives focused on increasing recruitment, retention, and prioritization of operational and training billets, especially in the ever-expanding fields of information technology, cryptology and naval intelligence.
Cheeseman said it’s important for the Navy to continue improving the process of retaining a highly trained and talented workforce.
