1 Vanguard Process Enhancing value, relevance and agility for Navy Medicine in the Maritime and Expeditionary Environments February 2009 Navy Medicine Support Command

2 Vanguard ID, validate & prioritize broad set of capabilities required Vanguard Mission: - Identify and prioritize Naval Medicine capability gaps, requirements, and emergent needs for next generation Force Health Protection and Expeditionary Medicine. - Provide validated capability gaps for high-level investment strategy in support of Navy Medicine’s strategic goals and research for operations readiness, military health care, and health promotion. Vanguard 2009 Goals: - Review / analyze identified Joint Force Health Protection (JFHP) capability gaps. - Identify any new emerging operational gaps from Navy Warfighter perspective - Review lessons learned for additional capability gaps. - Prioritize gaps within each JFHP Capability area from Navy Warfighter perspective. - Create overall first 10 action list. - Agree on follow-on processes to include tracking & reporting requirements.

3 Drive for value, relevance, & agility National Maritime Strategy CNO/Commandant’s Guidance Naval Enterprise Provider Role SG’s Strategic Plan BRAC’s Push for Collocation & Consolidation Joint/Common Focus No appetite for redundant expenditure of resources

4 National Maritime Strategy Core capabilities of Maritime power: –Forward Presence –Deterrence –Sea Control –Power Projection –Maritime Security –Humanitarian Assistance & Disaster Response How is Navy Medicine’s engagement aligned?

5 From CNO Guidance 2009 Guidance: - We must leverage science and technology initiatives to ensure warfighting benefits accrue to future Sailors. - Our S&T investments must address warfighting gaps and improve our effectiveness and efficiency. - Our S&T investments must deliver products that transition affordably to Fleet operators within a timeframe that maximizes their value. - In pursuit of new technologies, we must practice appetite suppression: technology can deliver great capability, but we can only afford to invest in capabilities we absolutely need. Key Measures: –Warfighting value and relevance of S&T investments –Agility of S&T transitions from development to acquisition to operation Strategic Direction supporting Vanguard Process

6 USMC Capstone Concept Central Idea: Defeating Hybrid threats and challenges Enhancing the MAGTF’s flexibility, agility, and adaptability Enabling Marines to think faster, decide faster, act decisively Increase the ability of the rifle company to conduct the full range of missions Imperatives: Seabasing Persistent forward presence and engagement Agile and adaptable forces Multicapable across the ROMO “remain the world’s foremost forward health services support element”

7 Navy Enterprise Key methods to improve ROI are: Improving the output/cost ratio associated with all major processes Aligning and resourcing our lines of business to achieve the intended outcome in the most effective and efficient manner Responsibilities of Enterprise management include: Setting enterprise objectives Assessing progress Removing barriers Making decisions (per vested authorities) Medicine as a Provider: works together (with other Providers) to deliver future capabilities and support current readiness to the Warfare Enterprises at the best cost. Improve the Return on Investment in all we do

8 SG’s Strategic Plan Build a standardized, sound, customer focused & measurable process

9 BRAC accelerating Jointness Base Realignment and Closure

10 Achieving value, relevance & agility NAVMED needs a deliberate and standardized “Requirement to Solution” process: –The process must include myriad of on-ramps that satisfy warfighter and clinical needs –The process must define value & relevance and enable agility & adaptability –The process must enhance ability to support current readiness and deliver future capabilities –The process must be multi-capable and contiguous to the joint arena Business as usual will diminish NAVMED’s mission delivery
