MISSION   Our core responsibilities
          Deter aggression and, if deterrence fails, win our Nation’s wars.
          Employ the global reach and persistent presence of forward-stationed
          and rotational forces to secure the Nation from direct attack, assure
          Joint operational access and retain global freedom of action. With
          global partners, protect the maritime freedom that is the basis for
          global prosperity. Foster and sustain cooperative relationships with an
          expanding set of allies and international partners to enhance global
          security.



 VISION   Navy’s contribution and characteristics over
          the next 10-15 years
          The U.S. Navy will remain critical to our national security and our
          economic prosperity.
          ” The Navy will continue to be at the front line of our nation’s efforts
            in war and peace with a proud heritage of success in battle on,
            above, and below the sea.
          ” The Navy will continue protecting the interconnected systems of
            trade, information, and security that underpin American prosperity.

          Operating forward across the globe, the Navy will provide the
          nation offshore options to win today and advance our interests
          in an era of uncertainty.
          ” We will deliver credible capability for deterrence, sea control, and
            power projection to deter or contain conflict and fight and win
            wars.
          ” As ground forces draw down in the Middle East, the Navy will
            continue to deter aggression and reassure our partners – we will
            have the watch.
Ready Sailors and Civilians will remain the source of the Navy’s
warfighting capability.
” Our people will be diverse in experience, background and
  ideas; personally and professionally ready; and proficient in the
  operation of their weapons and systems.
” Our Sailors and Civilians will continue a two-century tradition of
  warfighting excellence, adaptation, and resilience.
” Our character and our actions will remain guided by our
  commitment to the nation and to each other as part of one Navy
  team.

We will address economic change by being effective and
efficient. We will innovate to:
” Use new technologies and operating concepts to sharpen our
  warfighting advantage against evolving threats.
” Operate forward at strategic maritime crossroads.
” Sustain our fleet capability through effective maintenance, timely
  modernization, and sustained production of proven ships and
  aircraft.
” Provide our Sailors confidence in their equipment and in their own
  skills.

Over the next 10 to 15 years, the Navy will evolve and remain the
preeminent maritime force.
” The reach and effectiveness of ships and aircraft will be greatly
  expanded through new and updated weapons, unmanned
  systems, sensors, and increased power.
” The Air-Sea Battle concept will be implemented to sustain U.S.
  freedom of action and Joint Assured Access.
” Unmanned systems in the air and water will employ greater
  autonomy and be fully integrated with their manned counterparts.
” The Navy will continue to dominate the undersea domain using
  a network of sensors and platforms - with expanded reach and
  persistence from unmanned autonomous systems.
” Cyberspace will be operationalized with capabilities that span the
  electromagnetic spectrum – providing superior awareness and
  control when and where we need it.

Our forces will operate forward in new and flexible ways with
access to strategic maritime crossroads.
” Our posture will be focused and improved using a combination
  of rotational deployments, forward bases, temporary and austere
  facilities and partner nation ports.
” Our forward presence will build on and strengthen our
  partnerships and alliances where sea lanes, resources, and vital
  U.S. interests intersect.
TENETS                The key considerations we should apply to
                      every decision
  Warfighting First   Be ready to fight and win today, while building the ability to win
                      tomorrow

  Operate Forward     Provide offshore options to deter, influence and win in an era of
                      uncertainty

         Be Ready     Harness the teamwork, talent and imagination of our diverse force to
                      be ready to fight and responsibly employ our resources




GUIDING               The starting point for developing and
                      executing our plans
PRINCIPLES            ” Our primary mission is warfighting. All our efforts to improve
                        capabilities, develop people, and structure our organizations
                        should be grounded in this fundamental responsibility.
                      ” People are the Navy’s foundation. We have a professional and
                        moral obligation to uphold a covenant with Sailors, Civilians and
                        their families – to ably lead, equip, train and motivate.
                      ” Our approach should be Joint and combined when possible.
                        However, we own the sea, and must also be able to operate
                        independently when necessary.
                      ” Our primary Joint partner is the U.S. Marine Corps. We must
                        continue to evolve how we will operate and fight as expeditionary
                        warfare partners.
                      ” At sea and ashore, we must be ready to part with Navy roles,
                        programs and traditions if they are not integral to our future vision
                        or a core element of our mission.
                      ” We must ensure today’s force is ready for its assigned missions.
                        Maintaining ships and aircraft to their expected service lives is an
                        essential contribution to fleet capacity.
                      ” Our Navy Ethos defines us and describes the standard for
                        character and behavior.
                      ” We must clearly and directly communicate our intent and
                        expectations both within and outside the Navy.
                      ” I believe in the “Charge of Command.” We will train and
                        empower our leaders with authorities commensurate with their
                        responsibilities.
