Surgeon General of Navy // CNO Priorities: America’s Warfighting Navy

Posted on Updated on

CNO published her “America’s Warfighting Navy” priorities to all Navy Flag Officers.  I am asking the TYCOM CDRS to please share, discuss, and disseminate with all your officers, enlisted and civilian personnel as I am doing at BUMED.  Her main comment is below.

“America’s Warfighting Navy” lays out who we are, what we do, and where we are going.  It drives us to look at everything through a warfighting lens, prioritizing warfighting, warfighters, and the foundation that supports them. 

CNO details how everyone of us is a warfighter and everyone contributes our Navy’s ability to preserve the peace, respond in crisis, and win decisively in war.   “America’s Warfighting Navy” nests under the National Defense Strategy (NDS) and the Joint Warfighting Concept (JWC). It does not replace the existing CNO Navigation Plan (NAVPLAN), which continues to drive critical outcomes through the NAVPLAN Implementation Framework (NIF).  It is designed to help align and energize our Navy narrative as we communicate with our numerous stakeholders – both external AND internal.

Navy Medicine’s efforts as warfighters are aligned to her priorities, the NDS, JWC, the current NAVPLAN and the NAVPLAN NIF.  Our Five-Year Campaign Plan, Campaign Order and my four lines of efforts align to CNO’s priorities.  I can’t thank you enough for what you do every day to make our Navy and our Nation better.  Due to your efforts, Navy Medicine is different today than we were just over a year ago in our ability to support our National and Naval priorities.

Continue driving hard in 2024.
