Very thorough but did not go in depth as I had wished on examples of specific failures and lessons learned with potential corrective actions.

Read for work and fully concur. There is a pervasive atmosphere in America that someone else is going to save us. Consequently, from citizen to President, we all have the opinion that someone will bail us out.

Extracts from this report formed the policy foundation of the USCG Mobile Command & Control Working Group to improve what we already do so very well.
