Navy Seeks Greater Flexibility with New Force Model
The Navy is advancing plans to reshape its traditional carrier strike group model, according to Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Daryl Caudle. This new approach aims to provide greater flexibility and tailored forces for specific missions, Breaking Defense reports. The initiative builds upon previous efforts to interchange destroyers in the Red Sea against the Houthis and seeks to augment strike groups with scalable and customized forces. Caudle’s ‘Fighting Instructions’ guidance outlines how the Navy plans to organize, train, equip, and fight in this new environment.
