A hallmark of the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) Department of Defense Management (DDM) is its unilateral focus on the naval and defense applications of business management and public policy education and research. In this new piece, two NPS faculty members, Dr. Geraldo Ferrer and Harrison Schramm, are joined by retired Rear Adm. Larry Jackson of National Defense University, in an exploration of the complexities of offensive logistics, and their implications to U.S. strategies. “Overt attacks on supply chains or logistics have been par for the course for quite a while,” the authors note in this new commentary via RealClearDefense. Recent events are demonstrating a new twist to offensive logistics, they write, and “this new concept, ‘offensive supply chain,’ involves controlling and turning the adversary’s supply chain against them, without their immediate knowledge.” • Learn more about what makes Defense Management at NPS unique: https://nps.edu/web/ddm US Navy | United States Marine Corps | National Defense University | Department of Defense Management at Naval Postgraduate School #defense #management

Did you know that our nation's ports and waterways are the crucial backbone of our economy? Approximately 2.3 billion tons of cargo are shipped to, from, or through 41 states each year. The U.S. marine transportation industry supports trillions of dollars in commerce and millions of jobs. At ACBL, we're proud to be a part of this vital industry, keeping America's waterways moving smoothly.

Proud of this piece I wrote with Grant Bryan at U.S. Naval Institute - in the Fat Leonard crisis, failures of character and culture perverted an ultimately necessary system of delegated authorities. The Navy policy response - centralizing authority to disempower potential bad actors - was mistaken in its attempt to solve moral failure via process. Since the policy changes, Sailors from Admiral to Airman notice the WESTPAC logistics ecosystem's structural inefficiencies and limited responsiveness. The solution to these structural issues - traditional autonomy and engagement with the local commercial maritime community - remain both administratively out of reach and underdeveloped for when they'll be ultimately needed. We must re-empower our sailors - giving them the authorities and flexibility to solve issues forward. Sailors know they and the local maritime community have the tools & competence necessary to rapidly solve myriad readiness challenges. The inability to do so stymies the development of critical professional skill, relationships, and local infrastructure. These solutions remaining out of reach also encourage a dangerous sense of misguided nostalgia for the GDMA era - making it seem GDMA and its uniformed cult were the root of flexibility and responsiveness actually due to the opportunities provided by the authorities they abused and undermined. #Navy #Maritime #Supply #Logistics #Leadership #Military #WESTPAC #China #Culture #FatLeonard #Character #Contracting

🚀 Exciting News for Aviation and Defense! 🚀 The HABITS Group is proud to introduce our exclusive line of scratch-free wipes, designed specifically to protect sensitive aviation surfaces like polycarbonates and polyacrylics. These products, originally developed through a DLA-funded Navy initiative, are certified by NAVAIR to not scratch canopies, windscreens, and other critical transparencies. Imagine the cost savings and extended lifespan of these components—especially for night vision use—by reducing scratches or "crazing." ✅ Why This Matters: Traditional cleaning cloths often use wood pulp or polypropylene, which can damage these sensitive materials. Our wipes prevent this, potentially saving millions in replacement costs! ✅ 8(a) Sole Source Potential: As an 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB-certified company, The HABITS Group can offer these solutions as a sole source to meet federal procurement needs. And, as an AbilityOne distributor, we’re ready to support compliance and small business goals. Our newly launched eMarketplace provides an easy, seamless platform for GPC spending and micropurchases, allowing government partners to efficiently access these essential supplies.
