The start of a new home serves as an opportunity for greater alignment as we reconfirm our commitment to the dream. As a member of the Phoenix Ascendancy, you play a vital role in supporting the many dreamers, male and female, who fight for our city’s interest abroad. We protect our establishment, our dreamers, and our values, and will ensure Underlight’s fighting force reinforce traditional tools of diplomacy ensuring our diplomats can negotiate from a position of strength.

We are an establishment of war. We must be prepared to deal with increasingly complex spatial threat situations, characterized by an accelerating decline in management of rules-based order. Pursuit of dream-wide security and stability requires our fighting forces of the city to remain a preeminent fighting force, and I have developed three lines of effort to enable us to remain as such:

First, reobtain city readiness as we build a more lethal force:
We will execute a timely plan to rapidly rebuild the warfighting readiness of the collective homes, filling holes in capacity and lethality while preparing for sustained future investment. This line of effort prioritizes a safe and secure weapon development, the fielding of a decisive conventional force, and retains irregular warfare as a core competency.

Strengthen alliances and attract new partners:
Alliances and multidream city partnerships provide avenues for peace, fostering conditions for growth alongside cities sharing the same vision. Strong alliances also temper the plans of those who would attack other cities or try to impose their will over the less powerful. History is compelling on this point: Strong cities will thrive, and those without stagnate and wither. We will continue to work with our allies, partners, coalitions to reinforce the safety and security that underpins peace and prosperity of all cities.

Finally, reforms to the city's progression:
This line of effort instills discipline and effective resource management, develops a culture of rapid and meaningful innovation, streamlines requirements and acquisition processes, and promoting responsible risk taking as well as personal initiative. Some specific reforms are already in the works.

I expect you to pursue actively these three lines of effort. Set disciplined goals, collaborate across components, and model appropriate ethical behavior. Remember, attitudes are caught from those who set the example—use your force of personality to lead with a sense of urgency and purpose every dream, so that we leave the city in even better shape for those that follow.
