3/ "Our global economy, and the self-determination of free nations everywhere, especially in the Indo-Pacific, depends on sea power."
4/ "That’s the way it’s been since our founding.

There’s a reason the Constitution authorizes Congress to temporarily raise an Army, and permanently maintain a Navy."
5/ SECNAV specifically thanks International Students at Naval Academy. 👍

This, plus IMET funded partner training in the US, and civilian programs like Fulbright, are our BEST investments.

We should double down on these.

1/ Well, clearly, it's time for Oregon to restart its Naval Militia and for @OregonGuard to get it paired w Vietnam Maritime Mitilia under their State Partnership Program.

2/ US Naval Militias are one of my niche interests. For some reason, never mentioned in the State Partnership Program materials.

3/ US Naval Militias are active in several states:
Alaska, California, New York, Ohio, South Carolina & Texas.

Authorized but inactive on many other states.

Why do we not build up & leverage them?
