Navy’s Way Ahead: The Annual Navigation Plan

Current Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Adm. Jonathan Greenert released the Department of the Navy (DON) Annual Navigation Plan that highlights DON’s intended track and investments for 2016-2020. This plan provides a common viewpoint, so that everyone in the Navy is aware of the investment strategy and goals over the next five fiscal years.

The Navy is also working with other services to provide cooperative strategies going forward. As stated in the Annual Navigation Plan, “In March 2015, the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard published a revised maritime strategy, A Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower: Forward, Engaged, Ready, which provides more specific guidance on how we will design, organize, and employ the Sea Services in support of our national, defense, and homeland security strategies.”
