Operations Office Report #8.1 – Task Force 17 and 72 Staff Updates!

August 10, 2025

Dear Bravo Fleet,

Change is the essential process of all existence, and Bravo Fleet is no exception. As one chapter closes, new opportunities open.
Today, the Operations Department bids a farewell to two legendary leaders.

New Task Force 17 Commanding Officer

After 10 months on Task Force 17’s Senior Staff, six of which she served as Commanding Officer, Captain Cressida Brennan is stepping back to pursue new opportunities. I want to personally thank her for the time, dedication, and energy she has invested in the Grey Rocket.

Stepping into the role in an interim capacity is none other than Fleet Admiral Luke Duncan, a well-known figure within Task Force 17’s command history, who will provide leadership and mentorship as the TFCO.

New Task Force 72 Commanding Officer

Captain Trevenan Williams has served with distinction for 15 months on Task Force 72’s Senior Staff, including 7 months and 9 days as its Commanding Officer. Under his leadership, the Big Blue has reaffirmed its place as a household name in the fleet. For now, he, too, is stepping back to focus on other commitments.

Returning to the helm in an interim capacity is Admiral Liam Dahlgren, who has made time in his schedule to lead Task Force 72 once again.

New Opportunities

Are you at least a Lieutenant and interested in helping shape the future of your Task Force? We’re always looking for passionate leaders to serve as Task Group Commanding Officers. Speak with your TFCO to see if you qualify.
