If war comes to the Western Pacific, the Navy and the joint force will have to deal with sunk ships and mass maritime combat search-and-rescue (CSAR) operations at a scale not seen since World War II. Although doctrine acknowledges that “the joint force may need to prepare plans and allocate resources to rescue potentially hundreds of survivors in a hostile environment if a naval combatant is sunk,” current personnel recovery concepts of operations, doctrine, and tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) focus on recovering individuals and small groups of isolated personnel. The Navy has a moral responsibility to its sailors and their families to have the capabilities and plans to give them a chance to live “and return with honor” should their ship be sunk under them, to say nothing of the operational and political imperatives. The time for action is now. See some actionable recommendations in the latest Proceedings: #MMCSAR #JPRA #ReturnWithHonor #AlliesandPartners

Seven months after applying for paramedic reciprocity in Ohio, I finally received my state certification. I was fortunate that I didn't need to depend on that certification for employment. For those who do, several months of waiting post-transition could mean being unemployed. A key lesson for military medics: Start your application for reciprocity at least a year before your separation date. It's far easier to renew an early certification than to navigate the waiting process while unemployed. Plan ahead to avoid unnecessary delays and missed pay checks in your career transition. #ems #paramedic #reciprocity #emt #medic #transitioningmilitary
