Who is identified as the DESRON 2 Senior Enlisted Leader (SEL)?

The designation of the DESRON 2 Senior Enlisted Leader (SEL) is typically held by a Chief Petty Officer at a high rank, capable of overseeing various enlisted matters within the command. The correct answer reflects this position as being filled by MCPO(SW) Korey Jones, who holds the rank of Master Chief and is specifically recognized for his leadership within the Surface Warfare community. This role often involves mentoring junior sailors, coordinating with officers, and ensuring the overall readiness and morale of the enlisted fleet personnel within DESRON 2.

The other ranks mentioned, such as Command Master Chief (CMDCM), Fleet Master Chief (FLTCM), and Force Master Chief (FORCM), indicate positions of senior leadership that are responsible for broader or different levels of command rather than specifically at the DESRON level. In this context, while they each hold significant authority, the direct designation of DESRON 2's SEL aligns best with the responsibilities typically seen under a Master Chief designation.
