SAN DIEGO (Mar. 31, 2021) Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy (MCPON) Russell Smith speaks with members of the U.S. Navy Parachute Team, the Leap Frogs, during a visit to various NSW commands in the San Diego area. Smith visited NSW to see firsthand how the command is assessing and developing character, cognitive, and leadership traits throughout the Force as an asymmetric advantage in strategic competition. NSW is the nation’s premiere maritime special operations force that extends the Fleet and Joint Force's reach for collection and lethality, delivers all domain options to undermine our enemies’ confidence, and strengthens diplomatic leverage. The command’s diverse Sailors and their leadership, character, and cognitive traits form the core of its creative problem solving and asymmetric approaches to solving the Nation’s hardest problems. The command continues to accelerate its orientation to the distinctive capabilities that only NSW can deliver while emphasizing humility, urgency to evolve and pursue excellence, and the obligation to be stewards of the incredible trust the Nation places in its Naval Commandos.
