 Welcome to All Hands Update. I'm Petty Officer Andrew Johnson. The CNO's Navy Global War Game 2014 began at the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island, September 8th. More than 80 service members from the U.S., Canada, United Kingdom, Australia and Japan are participating this year. The exercise allows commanders to hone their abilities and capabilities in defeating anti-access and area denial strategies. Global War Game 2014 also focuses on continued improvement of command and control or C2 of joint operations in different environments. Participants will integrate, coordinate and align how they gain and maintain access in several scenarios. The exercise brings naval leaders from around the world together to work closely with one another to create a more seamless joint environment. For more information, check out last year's game report on the Naval War College website.
