Marine 3-Star to Lead Naval Academy, Davids Heading to OPNAV Staff<\/h3>\n

Mallory Shelbourne<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Marine Corps officer is in line to lead the U.S. Naval Academy for the first time in its 180-year history, USNI News has learned.<\/p>\n

Lt. Gen. Michael Borgschulte, who is currently the Marine Corps deputy commandant for manpower and reserve affairs, will be nominated to serve as the Naval Academy\u2019s 66th superintendent, two defense officials familiar with the matter confirmed to USNI News.<\/p>\n

Vice Adm. Yvette Davids, who has been the superintendent since January 2024, will get renominated for a third star and to serve on the chief of naval operations staff. If confirmed by the Senate, she will serve as the deputy chief of naval operations for operations, plans, strategy and warfighting development, also known as the N3-N5-N7. Vice Adm. Daniel Dwyer, the current N357, will retire next month, USNI News understands.<\/p>\n

Historically, the superintendent role has been filled by a U.S. Navy admiral, meaning Borgschulte, if confirmed, would be the first Marine general to serve as the superintendent.
\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
\n\u201cA decorated combat leader and proud graduate of the Naval Academy Class of 1991, Lt. Gen. Borgschulte brings a wealth of operational experience and strategic insight,\u201d Phelan said in a statement. \u201cIf confirmed, he will be the first Marine to hold this prestigious post, a milestone that reflects the strength of our naval integration and the shared ethos of the Navy-Marine Corps team.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
