Thanks to the efforts of LTJG.Padarom and SCPO.TheDoctor, the remaining members of the Navy spend November 2014 to August 2015 building the Corpsmen Platoon (Marines) into one of the most successful and active units in the entire clan. That unit ends up spinning off into the new Navy Branch after being closed for two years.

November 2014

JCS restructures to be more in alignment with real life Joint Chief layout. Clan CO and XO now have a Senior Enlisted Advisor (SEA; SMA.VicVegas) as well as a Chief Advisor (CW5.Ward) dedicated to their personal staff. Support Command and Division Command are completely removed from the Chain of Command so the Division CO and Intel CO report directly to the Clan CO/XO. NCOA moves out of Intel and reports directly to the SEA. Joint Staff is implemented to address clan logistics and planning. Members of the new JS are Branch XOs and Intel Dept WOICs.
