www.GovExec.com - :MANAGEMENT PROFILE : Skeptic in Chief (3/1/01) Danzig took steps to learn about the Navy's culture and the major issues facing the service by using the six-month period between his nomination and confirmation as undersecretary to pick the brains of officers and outside observers. Danzig argued that the service was mired in a "psychology of conscription" that kept it from fulfilling its commitment to the principle that people are the Navy's most important asset. When Danzig became Secretary in November 1998, the Navy was faced with a fleetwide shortfall of 22,000 sailors and a growing exodus of mid-level officers. www.govexec.com /features/0301/0301s3.htm   (3237 words)

Notes on Conquest of the Western Sudan--Part I The troops were deployed by Colonial Department of the Minister of the Navy, and their officers were controlled by the Undersecretary for Colonies, a civilian, but they had the right to correspond with the Minister of the Navy on technical subjects such as pay, postings and promotions. When the colonial department was transferred to the Ministry of Commerce in 1889, the Ministry of the Navy no longer had authority of marines in the colonies. After 1894, the role of the colonial department was clarified by the creation of an independent colonial ministry, but the ministers tended to be minor figures in govenment. courses.wcupa.edu /jones/his311/archives/sec/kanya1.htm   (9253 words)
