RMKS/1. This naval message provides information and updates on the Navys
participation in the Defense Attache Service (DAS) for Navy personnel.
2. The Navy looks to its most qualified and capable officers and enlisted
personnel to fill demanding and rewarding positions as Senior Defense
Officials/Defense Attaches, Naval Attaches, Assistant Naval Attaches,
Operations Coordinators and Operations Assistants in exotic and unique
locations. They will serve as a part of the U.S. Defense Attache Office
team, based at U.S. Embassies in 78 countries. All candidates are trained at
the Defense Intelligence Agency’s (DIA) 13-week Joint Military Attache
School, and depending on their assigned country, extensive language training
may be provided prior to arriving on station. Naval Attaches are the voice
of the Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) and Chief of Naval Operations,
articulating policies as well as Navy strategy to a host nation. Naval
Attaches observe and report information to reduce strategic surprise, and
call attention to issues that will affect U.S. interests in time for decision
makers to act. Naval Attaches have provided observations that have been
briefed at the highest levels of government. Our Naval Attaches build
strong, lasting relationships with partners who share a common vision of
maritime security. As part of the U.S. Embassy country team and in support
of the Ambassadors objectives, Naval Attaches play a critical role in
enhancing relationships in host nations which are not traditional or long-
time partners.
3. SECNAV considers the Navy’s contribution to the DAS as one of his most
critical responsibilities, as expanded upon in references (a) and (b). For
Naval Attaches, SECNAV is the final approval authority for officers nominated
to serve in the DAS under DIA. The Director of Naval Intelligence manages
the day-to-day operation of the Navy Attache Program as detailed in reference
(c).
4. For those who meet the selection criteria of reference (d), service in
the DAS offers unique opportunities for the best and most highly qualified
Navy personnel. Through a robust, competitive selection and training
process, service members and their families will ultimately be posted at U.S.
Embassies around the world in one of more than 150 DAS positions.
a. Over the next year, Navy Attache Affairs will screen for attache
positions in: Albania, Australia, Azerbaijan, Brazil, Bulgaria, Burma,
Cameroon, Chile, China, Djibouti, Ecuador, Egypt, Fiji, France, Germany,
Greece, Honduras, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Kenya,
Madagascar, Malaysia, Malta, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Panama, Philippines,
Poland, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Tunisia, United Arab
Emirates, Ukraine, and United Kingdom.
b. In addition, exceptional Limited Duty Officer/Chief Warrant Officer
and enlisted personnel will be able to screen as Operations Coordinators
(OPSCO) and Operations Assistants (OPSAsst) positions in: Australia, China,
Djibouti, Egypt, Iraq, Malaysia, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, United
Kingdom, Uruguay, and Vietnam.
5. To demonstrate the importance SECNAV places on duty at DAOs, as discussed
in reference (a), procedures are in place at Navy Personnel Command (NPC) to
expand the eligibility for DAS assignments. Active promotion and advertising
of the program has been implemented and NPC is working to further incentivize
and reward DAS service through statutory promotion board
precepts. Additionally, these tours frequently offer language training,
Foreign Language Proficiency Pay, and Special Duty Assignment Pay for
enlisted personnel.

CNO Navigation Plan – 2022 Update
ROUTINE R 261901Z JUL 22 MID200080057348U FM CNO WASHINGTON DC TO NAVADMIN INFO CNO WASHINGTON DC BT UNCLAS NAVADMIN 168/22 MSGID/NAVADMIN/CNO WASHINGTON DC/CNO/JUL// SUBJ//NAVPLAN 2022// RMKS/1. Shipmates, I am proud to announce the release of Navigation Plan 2022. This document surveys the state of our Navy and provides direction on our future. Navigation Plan 2022 builds upon the solid foundation set by last year's NAVPLAN and takes into account three significant developments. 2. First, earlier this year, the Secretary of Defense released the 2022 National Defense Strategy (NDS), which sets out how the Department of Defense (DoD) will contribute to advancing and safeguarding U.S. national interests. The NDS is clear about the formidable challenges our adversaries pose to the international rules-based order, as evidenced by China's and Russia's blatant attempts to reshape the security environment to their advantage. In response to these challenges, the NDS introduces "integrated deterrence" as a unifying principle for the DoD. Additionally, the NDS identifies "campaigning" and "building enduring advantages" as the additional ways through which we will achieve our Nation's goals. In support of these ways, the NDS calls for updated operational concepts, including the Joint Warfighting Concept (JWC), to align capabilities and missions across the Services. Our Navy plays a unique and critical role in supporting the NDS: a ready, combat-credible, forward deployed fleet is the most potent, flexible, and versatile instrument of military power. Nested under the Secretary of the Navy's Strategic Guidance and the Tri-Service Maritime Strategy, Navigation Plan 2022 outlines how we will continue adapting to the security environment in order to fulfill our singular role as part of the Joint Force defending our Nation. 3. Second, Navigation Plan 2022 accounts for the progress we have made and what we have learned as a result of the NAVPLAN Implementation Framework (NIF). The NIF has accelerated our progress in 18 separate focus areas, but we still have much work to do. To continue delivering the outcomes called for in the NIF, Navigation Plan 2022 identifies a supported commander for each objective, promoting alignment, accountability, coordination, and collaboration. We have made significant progress this past year, breaking through stovepipes and turning priorities into tangible action. However, we must accelerate key capabilities, such as our ability to shoot, maneuver, defend, and resupply, while building momentum in additional critical areas, including: live, virtual, and constructive (LVC) training, the Naval Operational Architecture, artificial intelligence, and unmanned systems. 4. Third, Navigation Plan 2022 directs necessary course corrections to the design of our future force. Six overarching Force Design Imperatives-- Distance, Deception, Defense, Distribution, Delivery, and Decision Advantage- -will guide the development of our naval capabilities and enable us to employ our warfighting concepts. These imperatives will feed an "engine" of strategy that will better inform our budget choices-leveraging wargaming, analysis, research, experimentation, and disruptive technology. The Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Warfighting Development (OPNAV N7) will become the supported commander responsible for developing, maintaining, and refining the Navy's Force Design vision. A collaborative, continuous, and iterative Force Design process will energize our modernization efforts and help us maintain our maritime advantage in this critical decade and beyond. 5. Ultimately, Navigation Plan 2022 reflects the Get Real, Get Better call to action we are now adopting throughout our Navy. The rapidly increasing capabilities of our adversaries and their demonstrated intent to threaten our national interests demand that we focus on continuous improvement. We must courageously self-assess, deliberately self-correct, and continuously learn. Navigation Plan 2022 acknowledges identified shortcomings and barriers to our future progress, while charting the path forward to overcome them. 6. Everything in Navigation Plan 2022 supports our four overarching priorities: Readiness, Capabilities, Capacity, and Sailors. We must maintain readiness, keeping combat-credible forces forward in order to protect the free and open system underpinning American security and prosperity. We must possess capabilities to deter war and, if needed, win in conflict. We must build capacity that will enable us to deliver sea control and project power. And we must lead, train, and equip our Sailors to out-think and out-fight any adversary. 7. I expect all Navy leaders to read Navigation Plan 2022, which is available on the Navy.mil website (https://www.navy.mil/Leadership/Chief-of-Naval-Operations/). Each one of us has an important role to play, and our success depends on executing this Navigation Plan as a team. 8. Released by Admiral Mike Gilday, Chief of Naval Operations.// BT #0001 NNNN UNCLASSIFIED//
