Tenth Fleet: Difference between revisions

The '''[[Tenth Fleet Summit]]''' is the fleet's annual in-person muster, held each year at a science-fiction convention within the fleet's area of responsibility. Because that area is geographically vast, Fleet leadership (the Commanding Officer, Deputy Commanding Officer, and [[FSMCPO]]) rotates the summit between '''northern''' venues in the Pacific Northwest — such as [[NorWesCon]], [[OryCon]], and [[RadCon]] — and '''southern''' venues in California, principally [[BayCon]], to keep travel equitable for the fleet's widely dispersed ships and members. Designed in 2015 as a '''series of separate sessions''' across the convention weekend — each aimed at a different tier of the fleet — the summit comprises a '''Commanding Officers' Meeting''' (chapter COs and echelon commanders with Fleet Staff), a parallel '''Senior Enlisted Meeting''' run by the [[FSMCPO]] for bosuns, gunnies, and senior enlisted advisors, a smaller '''Flag Officers' Meeting''' for flag-rank and echelon command, and an '''Awards Ceremony''' led by the Fleet Commanding Officer recognizing promotions and service over the previous fiscal year. Summits have also hosted commissioning ceremonies for newly formed chapters. Separately, [[Task Group 91.1]] held its own summits for the task group's own members at [[BayCon]] in 2016 and 2018. The 2026 summit was designated a Flag Event by [[Orders:Tenth Fleet Order 2511-01|Tenth Fleet Order 2511-01]].
