Official Backpedals Navy Chief’s Goal To Hold Officers ‘Accountable’ For Improving Branch Issues
Story by Jake Smith • 19h •
ANavy official appeared to downplay Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Lisa Franchetti’s ambitions to hold officers “accountable” for pursuing specific goals to improve the branch, Military.com reported Thursday.
Franchetti wants to strengthen the Navy by 2027 by focusing on key areas where the branch is struggling by assigning several goals to “accountable” officials, such as restoring critical infrastructure, addressing maintenance backlogs and bolstering recruiting efforts, as outlined in a document released Wednesday. However, a spokesperson for Franchetti told Military.com on Thursday that these are “stretch goals” that don’t come with any punitive consequences if they aren’t achieved.
Franchetti reaffirmed her ideas during an interview with the Center for Strategic and International Studies on Thursday, telling the host that they were “realistic” and “100% agreed to by our four stars, by the type-commanders and, most importantly, by the single accountable individual who is going to be responsible to me.”
