 Welcome to All Hands Update. Here's what's happening around your Navy. Sailors tested a next generation expeditionary network and communication system during RIMPAC 2016. The deployable joint command and control system decreases the size, weight, and power requirements needed to conduct humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operations. The new system can be managed virtually, reducing the manning required to operate and maintain the system as well. USS Patriot arrived in Osaka, Japan as part of its summer patrol of U.S. 7th Fleet. The Patriot is conducting the patrol in support of partnership building and regional security in the 7th Fleet area of operations. As the temperature rises, we need to be aware of heat safety while working and playing outdoors. It's important to protect your body from direct sunlight. Take occasional breaks in the shade and drink plenty of water. For more information, check out the summer safety presentation on the Navy Safety Center website.
