Your request for assignment to the 10th Fleet was a pleasant surprise. We've got precious few officers with experience in sub-orbital flight, and another one's always welcome. I understand that your request for assignment to an individual ship; however, considering your previous duties Fleet Command has seen fit to assign you command of the naval elements of the landing group. I can't guarantee you won't be logging some fighter time in between deployments, but the heavy lift elements will be your primary concern.

You'll be working closely with A/CAPT Lewis and the marine divisions on this assignment. I recommend you brush up on marine SOPs before the operation commences. You're not going to have a chance once things go live.

I've added you to the fleet roster, and you'll receive a complete brief closer to the date. Welcome to the 10th, Captain.

Regards,
