Welcome to the DEFAERO Andy Marshall Strategy Series, our weekly discussion with leading thinkers on security, business and technology, sponsored by Bell.

Fortunately, the relatively new Chief of Naval Operations, Adm. Mike Gilday, has not been tainted by any of the scandals or problems and therefore is the right person at the right time to dig more deeply into resolving these symptoms of naval ill-health.
