The Commandant of the Coast Guard, Adm. Linda Fagan, [says her service is in a race for talent](https://fedgovtoday.com/2023/04/06/keeping-the-navy-running-on-time-the-sea-services-lean-hard-into-modernization-mode-the-commandant-of-the-coast-guard-in-a-race-for-talent/). **[RDML David Barata](https://www.uscg.mil/Biographies/Display/Article/3200261/rear-admiral-david-c-barata/)**, Commander of the Coast Guard’s Personnel Service Center, tells me how the Coast Guard competes for that talent.

 

 

Industry will play a bigger part than ever in solving problems for the sea services, according to leaders at Sea Air Space. Industry leaders say they’re ready to contribute. **[Dave DeWalt](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ddewalt)**, Founder and CEO of NightDragon, tells me he sees a lot of that collaboration happening now.

 

The Navy is reviewing results from its first-ever [Naval Space Summit](https://www.dvidshub.net/news/441794/naval-space-summit-brings-secnav-other-senior-leaders-nps). The Secretary of the Navy, Carlos Del Toro, convened the Summit at the end of March. **VADM Jeffrey Trussler,** Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Information Warfare N2/N6 and Director of Naval Intelligence, tells me his key message is the importance of space capabilities to distributed maritime operations.
