RMKS/1. We are a maritime Nation, and American naval primacy is essential to
meeting the security, economic, and geopolitical challenges we face
today. The Department of the Navy (DON) actively brings to bear the vision
of a world that is, per the National Security Strategy, “free, open, secure,
and prosperous.”

2. The United States Navy and United States Marine Corps are in contact with
   our adversaries every day on the sea, undersea, land, air, and in space. To
   build our competitive advantage we are moving with urgency to make the
   necessary investments for the fleet and force our country needs today and
   into the future. We stand ready in times of peace, and when called upon, in
   conflict. America’s naval forces are unique as America’s most timely,
   flexible, and forward-deployed force across the full spectrum of challenges –
   from naval diplomacy to strategic deterrence, crisis, and conflict.
3. The enduring Secretary of the Navy priorities laid out just over 2 years
   ago remain the principal guidance for the DON. To protect maritime supremacy,
   we will continue to advance our three enduring priorities, which are purpose-
   built to serve as an interconnected framework for ongoing evolution.
   Guided by our mission and vision, and remaining committed to our priorities,
   we will continue to field the world’s most dominant maritime force.
4. Our Navy and Marine Corps team is a timely, relevant, and highly
   reliable force. Unquestionably, we face a time of profound change.
   Yet, we have the benefit of hundreds of years of legacy of professionalism,
   resilience, and innovation in our corner. We will overcome uncertainty with
   vision, and competition with perseverance.
5. The Chief of Naval Operations’ Navigation Plan and the Commandant’s Force
   Design 2030 are critical enablers and well nested within this strategy.
   Refer to them often and ensure every member of our team understands how their
   work fits in to the broader mission of our fleet and our force.
6. We will move out together, decisively and rapidly to respond to the
   challenges ahead of us. Our team is simply the best there is, and I remain
   humbled to be a part of it.
