Commander of Naval Sea Systems Command
[edit]@KingEdinburgh, EPMen, Garuda28, and SuperWIKI: The Senate's version of the NDAA 2025 includes a clause making the commander of Naval Sea Systems Command a statutory eight year term of office, and the holder of the office would be eligible to be appointed to the rank of admiral, for the final three years of their term. It also includes a clause to make the Vice Chief of Space Operations a statutory four-star general. The House's version does not include these clauses, but once again, theirs includes reestablishing the statutory three-star rank for all the chiefs of a service reserve, and the Surgeon General of the Navy.

- Why the sudden importance attached to NAVSEA - perhaps recent controversy over the 31-amphib ship baseline? SuperWIKI (talk) 02:52, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Maybe they finally felt bad of the Navy, lol. The Air Force has less active-duty uniformed personnel than the Navy, but they have more four-star officers. But all jokes aside, it has to do with the growing threats in the Pacific from Russia, China, and North Korea. The Navy has spent years downsizing, during the Obama administration, that there are far less combat ready ships available than ever before. The Zumwalt-class destroyers and the Littoral combat ships are a complete failure and waste of taxpayer money, that the Navy has been scrambling to acquire more Arleigh Burke-class destroyers to meet global demands, and to fix the construction issues of the new Constellation-class frigates that caused the first ship to be delayed to 2029.

- In my opinion, it would make more sense to bring back the 4-star Office of Naval Material with Naval Sea Systems Command, Naval Air Systems Command, and Strategic Systems Program (and maybe Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command, Navy Installations Command Naval Supply Systems Command, and the Office of Naval Research reporting to it. That's how it used t,o be. It would be almost identical organizationally to Air Force Materiel Command and US Army Materiel Command. I wonder why it was disestablished in 1983.

- An "innovation" of SECNAV John Lehman - he wanted the individual naval technical commands to report directly to the CNO. He was a hard-charger in Navy structural reform; unrelated, but he was the SECNAV who finally fired ADM Rickover. SuperWIKI (talk) 04:54, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

John D. Lavelle
[edit]@KingEdinburgh, EPMen, Garuda28, and SuperWIKI: just in case you guys don't know, both the House and version of the 2025 NDAA include a stipulation to restore John D. Lavelle's four-star rank, while the Senate's version would advance him to lieutenant general. Neovu79 (talk) 06:31, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
- Morinao's new article, Legislative history of United States four-star officers from 2017, has already shed some light on this matter. It'll require updating, along with the relevant portions of the 1947–1979 and 1980–2016 companion articles, if Lavelle's posthumous promotion passes both houses of Congress.
