Commander Johann Anders, an already fine Fighter Wing Instructor, has been selected to head up the recently re-assigned Fleet Division as Combat Training Instructor. With this promotion in responsibility, he also receives a matching adjustment in pay grade up to Captain. We hope to continue to see a fine improvement under Captain Anders' instruction.
Lieutenant Commander Barney Ross has been selected to serve under Captain Anders as an Executive Officer of the Fleet Division, and thus, he assumes the rank of Commander. He's proven himself as a capable pilot and an effective instructor, and under Anders' instruction, we expect the Fleet Division to flourish.
Commander Zoe Valentine will also act as Executive Officer of the Fleet Division, under the command of Captain Anders and alongside Commander Ross. While Anders and Ross bring exceptional snubcraft capabilities to the Division, we hope that Valentine's strong aptitude for capital vessel command will help to round out the team and bring the finest in instructors and leaders to our largest and most capable division.
For his continued diligent work as both a pilot and commander inside the LLS, Commander Alan Jones is promoted to Captain and, effective immediately, recognized as the Commanding Officer of the Logistics Division. A reliable and effective officer like Jones is a role model for the younger flag officers out there, and I'm sure he'll continue to bring the best to the Navy.
Selected to work alongside Captain Jones is Lieutenant Commander Malachy Marshall, now issued the rating of Commander and designated the Executive Officer of the Logistics Division. Logistics work may not be the most thrilling of assignments, but some of our finest officers have come from there, and I'm sure you'll be one of them.
Captain Michael Morse retains his position as Commanding Officer of the Special Forces division, which includes the External Security and Research Division. Under his leadership, I'm sure the Special Forces and the ESRD will go far and strike hard.
Commander Hélène Dupuis is selected to act as the Executive Officer of the Special Forces division, under the command of Captain Morse. They've shown a great ability to work together in the past, and I'm sure the Special Forces will be no exception.
Commander Catherine Ellington will join Commander Dupuis as Executive Officer of the Special Forces division, bringing her relevant expertise to create a venerable staff of Special Forces leadership. I expect only greatness from you three, and I'm sure I'll be nothing but pleasantly surprised.
Overall, I'm extremely impressed with all of you. We've recently dealt the Gallics a critical blow at Leeds, and with that, our fight only gets harder. You're the finest soldiers this Navy has ever seen, and if you keep it up, we'll be having beers on New Paris by next year. Keep up the good work, everyone.
