  Navy awards $49.3M for work on six cargo ships

  ByTauren Dyson Sept. 26 (UPI) -- The Navy will exercise the last option on a previously awarded contract to fund operation and maintenance of six maritime vessels. Crowley Government Services will receive $49.3 million to perform work on five USNS 2nd Lt. John P. Bobo-class vessels and the USNS GySgt Fred W. Stockham, the Department of Defense said Wednesday. The vessels support the global prepositioning requirements of the Military Sealift Command, which is responsible for transporting U.S. military assets, as well as handling transportation for other agencies of the government. The Fred W. Stockham is more than 900 feet long and provides roll-on/roll-off sealift ship cargo services. The USNS 2nd Lt. John P. Bobo is the lead ship in the John P. Bobo-class and can carry a 30-day supply of cargo for a Marines Air-Ground Task Force. This modification is the fourth and last option in a previous agreement. Work on the new contract will be performed at sea throughout the world and should be completed by Sept. 30, 2020. https://www.upi.com/Defense-News/2019/09/26/Navy-awards-493M-for-work-on-six-cargo-ships

  Here are the top issues the Army’s combat arms leaders are working on to make sure soldiers are ready to fight

  By: Todd South A recent annual conference at the epicenter of the Army's maneuver force training saw combat arms leaders focusing on transforming the force with an eye toward future conflict. Though in past years portions of the annual conference have been open to the media, this year staff decided to close the entire event to outside media. The following information was gleaned from Army releases on the event. Gen. Stephen Townsend, commander of Army Training and Doctrine Command, told attendees that five near-term priorities will drive how well today's soldiers are ready for their next operating environment. Those priorities include: A review of how the Army recruits its soldiers and a plan to improve. Improving the leader-to-led ratio and resourcing in initial entry training. Successfully standing up Army Futures Command. Fielding a new Combat Fitness Test and changing the force's fitness culture. Ramping up Multi-Domain Operations into doctrine and practice. Each of these near-term priorities have some early work already completed, with more on the way.
