The Leadership Mess Symposium (LMS) Enlisted Readiness Council (ERC) is designated by the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) as the Navy's senior enlisted forum to bring Fleet perspective directly into the decision-making process. The ERC will identify systemic challenges, assess impacts to readiness and warfighting effectiveness, and develop actionable recommendations to strengthen combat capability, leader development, and Quality of Service (QoS) across the Fleet. The ERC provides the CNO with a structured, Fleet-informed mechanism to identify conditions affecting Sailor performance and combat readiness; recognize enterprise-level challenges that impact effectiveness or retention; propose corrective actions to improve quality of work and quality of life as key factors in readiness; and evaluate whether implemented measures yield measurable improvements. The ERC is a 2-day a problem-solving and recommendation body focused on tangible outcomes, rather than a discussion forum.
