To help get the US Navy (USN) and the US Marine Corps (USMC) on the same course for priorities, capabilities, and overall funding needs, Carlos Del Toro, the relatively new USN secretary, has called for a “strategy session” for naval leadership at the end of September.

Leadership will discuss overall fleet size, platform make-up within that fleet, and a host of other issues, Del Toro told reporters on 17 September during a media roundtable.

The discussions will help the USN and the USMC determine how to best make acquisitions and operate under the approved spending plans, and prepare for the upcoming budgets, he noted.

“Leadership demands tough decisions,” Del Toro said. “I've got to meet with my leadership now.”
