The Navy's Large Scale Exercise 2023 took place around the world from Aug. 9 to Aug. 18, but its central leadership was based in Norfolk, Va.
Adm. Daryl Caudle told Breaking Defense he is concerned what Russia "may or may not be doing" as it continues to militarize its northern coast.
To make Large Scale Exercise 2023 as realistic as possible, the Navy had nearly 1,000 personnel dynamically changing the battlefields to challenge the fleet.
“If you don’t have that objective tension, then it becomes a little bit as we like to say in the Navy, a self-licking ice cream cone,” said Adm. Daryl Caudle, commander of US Fleet Forces.
Both Adms. Daryl Caudle and Michael Gilday sent shots across the bow to industry this week to do better.
