In this episode, CAPT Matthew Fine offers a flyover of CG-741’s role in connecting with Boat Forces programs. From ensuring readiness through data-driven training initiatives to deepening reserve integration under the Shore Forces Reserve Management Plan, CAPT Fine explains how CG-741 is the connective tissue behind every SAR case, flood response, and patrol. He tackles the operational impact of staffing shifts, challenges in field-to-HQ communication, and the need for greater situational awareness at the deck-plate level. Listeners will walk away with a clearer view of how Shore Forces shapes daily missions and why understanding the “why” behind tasking is critical to mission success.
