Bill Gortney during a meeting to discuss SMWDC's development since its establishment in 2015. Gortney was the driving force behind the development of the Warfighting Development Centers (WDC) in all of the Navy's warfare communities when he was commander of U.S. Fleet Forces Command. SMWDC is one of the Navy's five Warfighting Development Centers and its mission is to increase the lethality and tactical proficiency of the surface force across all domains. (U.S. Navy photo by Lt.
