MEMORANDUM FOR All Officers and Enlisted of the Grand Alliance
FROM ADM McCovey Cove, RMN

Members of the Grand Alliance:

The Steering Committee is henceforth reconstituted as the Grand Alliance Joint Chiefs of Staff, as unanimously approved in a formal vote by the members of the same on 22 November 2023. This action is in keeping with the tradition that this body should have an appropriate "in universe" name. This body operates under Policy Document PD-BOD-1001, and will continue to be referred to as the Steering Committee in the revised organizational bylaws. This body has functionally replaced the former Royal Council as the day-to-day governing body of The Royal Manticoran Navy: The Official Honor Harrington Fan Association, Inc..

As such, the following members have been seated as voting members of the Grand Alliance Joint Chiefs of Staff:

• Chairman of the Grand Alliance Joint Chiefs of Staff - Michael Garcia
• Seated as Chief of Naval Operations, RMN (1SL) - Laura Lochen
• Seated as Marshal of the RMMC (MotC) - Michael Houghtaling/
• Seated as Marshal of the RMA (MotA) - Matthew Miller
• Seated as Home Secretary - Wayne Bruns
• Seated as High Admiral of the GSN - Zachary White
• Seated as Grand Admiral of the IAN - David Westover
• Secretary of the Board of Directors - Cindy Van Wyhe

The following members have been seated as ex-officio (non-voting) members of the Grand Alliance Joint Chiefs of Staff:

• Seated as Chief of Naval Operations, RHN - Melyssa Dennis
• Seated as Lord Speaker - Michael Romero
• Seated as Speaker of the House of Commons - Jesse Krug

The Chairman of the Grand Alliance Joint Chiefs of Staff may style themselves as "Chairman of the grand Alliance Joint Chiefs of Staff" when conducting business on behalf of the Grand Alliance Joint Chiefs of Staff.

All branch heads, regardless status, are afforded the style of "Grand Alliance Joint Chief of Staff" when conducting business on behalf of the Grand Alliance Joint Chiefs of Staff.

All others are afforded the style of "Grand Alliance Joint Vice Chief of Staff" when conducting business on behalf of the Grand Alliance Joint Chiefs of Staff.

To avoid confusion with the real world United States military body, these styles may not be shortened and must include the term "Grand Alliance."

This directive supersedes, or invalidates, the following Admiralty Orders: AO2201-02, AO1901-01, AO1808-02, AO1707-04, AO1311-05, AO1306-03, and AO1009-04.

In Service to the Grand Alliance,
