Maritime Strategy Interdependency: DON provides military capability and training to foreign entities via FMS and/or cooperative programs in support of the National Defense Strategy. Never before has the International Acquisition Mission been more important or received more visibility than it does today. From Maritime Patrol vessels, aircraft, and related equipment for protection of fisheries, oil resources, or disputed territory, to training, logistical support, and systems maintenance and upgrades for U.S. acquired military articles and services, our everyday efforts are crucial to global security and prosperity.

Maritime Strategy Collaboration Continued: International Requirements Board NIPO utilizes semi-annual IRBs with each GCC/NCC to improve communication, increase understanding of capability requirements and priorities, and advance SC opportunities. IRBs present an opportunity for the Regional Component Commander to update DoN stakeholders on any changes in SC priorities, and provides an opportunity for SC stakeholders (e.g. NIPO, USMC HQ, OPNAV N52, OPNAV N2/N6, NETSAFA, ONR or other staff) to describe to the Component Commander the SC activities the community is pursuing to support the regional SC objectives. Both IRBs and CDBs are an integral part to NIPO's strategic imperative of alignment. Panel #2.1
