PRIORITY: Low

Good Evening Sir/Ma'am,

Since assuming command of the logistics elements attached to the First Fleet, it has become apparent to me that the division of command associated with those units impairs operational efficiency. Namely, with the 103rd Orbital Lift reporting directly to Freighter Corps command, the 6th Heavy Lift radioing their reports to Logistics Headquarters and the various engineering and exploitation squadrons patching their reports and requests through their own chains of command, co-ordination has, frankly, become an nightmare. I'm finding myself placing requests for reports from Freighter Command that should have hit my desk directly weeks ago.

Consequently, I'm requesting permission to post the following operational support units directly under my command as part of 21CSG.

• 103rd Orbital Lift Squadron
  • Current Division: Freighter Corps
    Dominant Craft:
  • DL-Hai "Grizzly"
• 38th Transport Squadron
  • Current Division: Joint Freighter/Logistics Corps Command
    Dominant Craft:
  • DL-Hai "Grizzly"
    
  • C1 "Pelican"
    
  • C2 "Democritus"
• 2nd Heavy Lift Squadron
  • Current Division: 21CSG
    Dominant Craft:
  • C5 "Bison"
• 6th Heavy Lift Squadron
  • Current Division: Logistics Corps
    Dominant Craft:
  • EL-HiL51 "Mammoth"
• 1st Auxiliary Squadron
  • Current Division: 21CSG
    Dominant Craft:
  • C34 "Revere"
• 3rd Naval Construction Division
  • Current Division: 4th Naval Construction Battalion
    Dominant Craft:
  • AOE-2B "Guardian"
    
  • MCP-1 "Hercules"
    
  • DU5-7Y "Hegemon"

Grouping the units would simplify the chain of command for our people in the field, and allow me to get our ships where they need be, when they need to be there, instead of lodging a report requesting that it happen two weeks too late.

Additionally, with the need to maintain flow of supplies to Long Island Station through reasonably secure space, I'm requesting permission to look into the reactivation of the following unit:

• 9th Heavy Lift Squadron
  • Current Division: None.
    Dominant Craft:
  • C4 "Mastodon"

For your consideration.

Regards,

Jane Hartman
Captain
Officer Commanding
21st Combat Support Group
Liberty Navy
