you have mentioned the navy a few times. your force design that you discussed in length enables the marine corps to provide systems on land and to project power seaward in support of naval campaigns. and you said this in other contexts, the marine corps continuing to anti-ship and submarine warfare in the future, and have argued and we have heard this from the navy as well about integration with the navy as a strategic imperative. how do you assess interoperability with the navy, and how are you looking at challenges and trying to address them. particularly, marine-navy integration? gen. berger: first of all, naval integration from my perspective begins up here, it is not a staffing or a platform. it is not a tactic, it is intellectual and conceptual. that is where the root of naval integration is. the best evidence of naval integration is the force design effort that we are doing. we are building a force that is married up with the navy capability, so a naval capability, a maritime capability that a joint force commander wo

so he decides to use the mobility of the royal navy and his brother of course commanding the royal navy, and he loads his troops on ships, and his plan is -- let me go back a second. his plan then is to load on ships and take his army and ultimately go up the chesapeake bay, land south of philadelphia and then march on philadelphia. that's howe's plan. again, fairly straightforward, but obviously those are two very very different plans, and it's up to germain to coordinate these plans. there's germain in the center. then he's got howe off to the left there and burgoyne to the right. the problem of course is there's a tyranny of distance. there's 3,000 miles between london and new york, and you've got the commander-in-chief that's sitting in new york, 3,000 miles away. burgoyne and germain and the king are sitting there in london. so when you've got messages that can take two to three months to go back and forth across the atlantic, it makes it very very to coordinate a campaign, especially when you have decisionmakers in london and decisionmakers in new york city. and so that's what rea

has required dating back to the launch of the royal navy's first nuclear submarine over 60 years ago. together, with the other opportunities from aukus, creating hundreds of highly skilled jobs across the u.k. including scotland and the midlands, taking forward this driving purpose of leveling up across the whole country. we will have a new opportunity to reinforce britain place as the leading edge of science and technology, strengthening our national expertise and most significantly, the u.k., australia and the u.s. will be joined even more closely together. reflecting the measure of trust between us. the depth of our friendship and the enduring strength of our shared values of freedom and democracy. only a handful of countries possess nuclear powered submarines. and it is a momentous decision for any nation to acquire this capability. and perhaps equally momentous for any other state to come to its aid. australia is one of our oldest friends. a kindred nation and a fellow democracy and a natural partner in this enterprise. now, the u.k. will embark on this project alongside our alli

the british army has always been very small the real pride is the navy. the naval museum is much bigger. [laughter] so basically of an army of conquest. about one third of the british army if the british had won the war how do you maintain by force? >> right. once the french come in night have to worry about all of your overseas possessions not just north america but the west indies and defending the homeland itself. all of those things start to play into it that they didn't have to worry about before. i agree with you completely. after saratoga in the war move south, again only americans could have be in themselves at that point. that is possible. they could have done that. they could've made some boneheaded errors, but they were just right enough to win this. >> and the british are sending more ships and personnel to the caribbean off of the saratoga. and they are expected to win this with fewer troops. >> yes. handed an impossible task which goes to show saratoga is why people need to read your book. thank you very much i really enjoyed this discussion

here are women in the navy. these are marvelous images that are from the navy's history website of women. this is what is called the choke chamber, the air traffic control tower. this is parachute rigging. this is preparing for being on planes and different circumstances and situations. women as air traffic controllers always surprises people. they don't think that women were ever trained to be air traffic controllers. they did these jobs with no problems, we have very few reports of problems emanating from the fact that women were doing these jobs. next slide. here is a very different area of women's involvement. the stage door canteen. as it was said that the time, through these puddles pass the most beautiful uniforms in the world. the stage door canteen was to give our inner two soldiers who are on leave in the various cities, where the canteens were open, it was founded in 1917 by seven suffragettes and kind of faded away. and then for world war ii, it was revived by a group from the american theater wing.

you have argued and we have heard this from the navy side but integration with the navy as a strategic imperative. how do you assess and operability with the -- and inoperability and navy integration? >> naval integration begins up here. it is not a platform. it is not a tactic. it is intellectual, it is conceptual. that is where the root of integration is. the best evidence of naval integration is the force design effort that we are doing. we are building a force that is built up with maritime capabilities that is joining forces with commanders it is going to need. i am there. it begins with the conceptual, intellectual naval integration. i am extremely happy at the speed at which numbered fleets and nets are moving to find a way from command and control to power projection. ways that work in their neighborhood. what works in six fleet is going to be a little bit different than what seven fleet is going to do. we should be fine with that. it should not be this is the one-size-fits-all for naval integration. you all do this because we have talked and this is what -- this is the templat

it now has the world's largest navy.s own territorial waters. this new pact, announced in a carefully choreographed appearance by the leaders of australia, the uk and the us, is all about china, even though they didn't mention it by name. we all recognise the imperative of ensuring peace and stability in the indo—pacific over the long term. we need to be able to address both the current strategic environment in the region and how it may evolve. as to what is the pact, it starts with sharing the most sensitive of stealth technologies. britain and america will help australia build a fleet of new nuclear—powered, though not nuclear—armed, submarines. the house will understand how australia's future possession of this capability will help to safeguard the peace and security of the indo—pacific. so what's the reaction? this week, london's been hosting one of the world's largest arms fairs, where there's fierce competition for lucrative defence contracts. the plan is to build this new fleet of submarines in australia, but the
