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

SECNAV, CNO, and CMC Holiday Safety Message
CLASSIFICATION: UNCLASSIFIED// ROUTINE R 141935Z DEC 22 MID200080592748U FM SECNAV WASHINGTON DC TO ALNAV INFO SECNAV WASHINGTON DC CNO WASHINGTON DC CMC WASHINGTON DC BT UNCLAS ALNAV 083/22 MSGID/GENADMIN/SECNAV WASHINGTON DC/-/DEC// SUBJ/2022 SECNAV, CNO, AND CMC HOLIDAY SAFETY MESSAGE// RMKS/1. As 2022 comes to a close, we extend our greetings to our dedicated Sailors, Marines, Civilians, and their families valiantly serving around the globe. Additionally, we thank our current deployed members at sea and in harm's way. Your service, whether at home or abroad, allows all American families to enjoy the holiday season safely and securely. 2. Our world class Naval forces are hard-charging, proactive, critical- thinking people. Sometimes, in our drive for mission accomplishment, we get wrapped up in the mission and forget to take a step back, relax, and strengthen our relationships with our families, friends, and support networks. The holiday season provides the opportunity to do just that. We encourage everyone to unplug as you are able and make a point to spend time with your loved ones. Not only will it make you feel good now, but it will also build that social pillar of resiliency that is so important when times are tough. 3. We collectively work very hard all year to reduce the risk of mishaps in order to focus on the safety and well-being of our personnel. Unfortunately, we often see an increase in off-duty mishaps, to include motor vehicle accidents, due to increased travel and activity during this time of year. To combat this, we count on each of you to continue exercising sound judgement and prioritize safety during the holidays. That means wear your seatbelt, pay close attention to weather conditions, apply proper risk management, and use your training and common sense to do the right thing. Applying these tools and best practices will contribute to a successful and happy holiday season. 4. While this season is one of joy for many of us, for others, the holidays are fraught with hardship and emotion. Look around you and watch for those who might need a friend or a place to belong during the season. There are many people who require help during the holidays, and everyone can make a difference in their own unique way. We encourage you to stay connected with your friends and family this holiday season, and remind you to watch out for those who may struggle during this time of year. 5. Please, take time to relax this holiday season, recharge your batteries, build your resiliency, and be ever vigilant for the well-being of fellow Sailors, Marines, and Civilians. We look forward to another successful year in 2023! 6. Released by the Honorable Carlos Del Toro, Secretary of the Navy, Admiral Michael M. Gilday, Chief of Naval Operations, and General David H. Berger, Commandant of the Marine Corps.// BT #0001 NNNN CLASSIFICATION: UNCLASSIFIED//
