From Draft Navy Space Plan
•
Focus Area 5: Navy Space Cadre
‒ Issues:
“Members of the Navy Space Cadre sometimes lack
the formal training and/or skills required to fill key
space-related positions. In some cases, additional
skills and training are needed to better prepare Space
Cadre members destined for high impact positions
within the Navy and Joint Force. In other cases, Space
Cadre personnel with key skill sets are not being
assigned to the highest priority billets.”
