Slide51933 Reorganization
Based on Rear Admiral Billard’s Board of Review of January 1931Basis for Reorganization: Decentralization of authority and responsibility. One major task, one fundamental plan of operation under direct control of one man. Locality of forces operating under one directing head. Local floating forces under one command. Commander afloat shall be under the direction of an office stationed permanently on shore.Objectives: Give more authority to area commanders that previously rested with division commanders. Relieve Headquarters of considerable detail work. Respond to Great Depression and low budget.
“The expansion of the Service since 1924 was built upon the old organization, which was not suitable for the expanded Service.”
Admiral Hamlet, Commandant 1932-1936
