By George Galdorisi
The U.S. Navy has been forthcoming and transparent in its strategies designed to ensure peace and stability on the global commons working with allies and partners. These strategies have contributed to the security and prosperity of all nations touched by the oceans.
Whether manifested in documents such as the Department of the Navy Strategic Guidance, Advantage at Sea: Prevailing with Integrated All Domain Naval Power, or Americas Warfighting Navy, these high-level documents provide a clear vision of how the U.S. Navy intends to accomplish these goals.
While these strategic visionary documents remain important, achieving these goals requires documents with more granularity that describe ways, means, and ends to achieve the desired outcomes.
Over the past decade, these ways, means, and ends have been articulated in Navigation Plans issued by successive U.S. Chiefs of Naval Operations. These Navigation Plans serve two purposes. One is to be transparent to the nation and to U.S. Congress regarding the Navy’s goals and objectives. Another is to assign responsibilities to senior flag officers on the CNO staff, as well as to other commands and commanders throughout the Navy.
