1. This message solicits applicants for a one year Federal Executive Fellowship at the
U.S. Naval Institute.
2. Overview. Located at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD, the U.S. Naval Institute
(USNI), a private, non-profit, non-partisan organization has provided an open forum for
honest debate, informed discussion, and professional development for members of the Naval
Services. The vision and mission of the USNI is to give a voice to those who seek the
finest Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard by providing an independent forum for those
who dare to read, think, speak, and write to advance the professional, literary, and
scientific understanding of sea power and other issues critical to global security. USNI
is noted for its flagship magazine Proceedings and variety of historical and professional
books.
    a. The officer selected for the Naval Institute Fellowship will conduct and publish
research on priority Coast Guard and homeland defense issues, and serve as a conduit
between the Coast Guard and the Institute. The USNI fellow will advise the Institute
on the Coast Guard’s position on issues and provide feedback on perspectives the Institute
receives from the open forum. In addition to developing awareness and expertise for future
operational and staff assignments, the fellow will be accorded Naval Institute senior staff
status, which entails frequent interactions with the Board of Directors, professional
editors, staff, and USNI authors.
3. Eligibility. This program is open to all operational specialties. In addition to the
application guidelines set forth in REF (A), applicants:
    a. Must be selected for, or currently serving in the grade of O-4;
    b. Should have an established operational career path;
    c. Should apply from an operational assignment, or one that otherwise allows enough time
to complete the fellowship and likely follow on staff assignment in enough time to meet
operational currency requirements.
4. Follow on Tours. The USNI Coast Guard Fellow will be considered for a follow on assignment
in positions that involve execution of the Defense Readiness mission, Headquarter's Office of
Counterterrorism and Defense Operations Policy (CG-ODO), various liaison and staff positions
in the Pentagon, liaison assignments with other Agencies, Services, and Combatant Commands.
Tour lengths range from two to four years.
5. For additional information, prospective applicants are encouraged to contact LCDR Simon
