United States Fleet Forces Operational Readiness, Effectiveness, Primacy 3 Navy Roles and Missions Navy Value: Shaping strategic framework Today’s Navy significant contributor in all spheres –Global War on Terrorism (GWOT) –Homeland Defense / Homeland Security (HLD/HLS) –Stability Operations –Major Combat Operations (MCO) Continuous / growing demand signal from Regional Combatant Commands for forward presence –Relevancy of Navy as shaping force –Navy as “Rheostat” / scalable force –Provide distributed effects / influence battle space Aligns with precepts of National Military Strategy … Assure, Dissuade, Deter … the purpose of our presence

4. United States Fleet Forces Operational Readiness, Effectiveness, Primacy 4 Navy Operational Model Exploit multi-dimensional maritime maneuver and dominate the battle space – MCO & GWOT Network and connect Worldwide Navy Component Commanders and Regional C-JFMCCs – –Globally Networked C-JFMCCs control littoral battle space –Strengthen COCOM / WNCC / C-JFMCC relationship –Provides Coalition leadership, C2, connectivity, and credibility –Supports “Forces For” responsiveness Build MDA through forward presence and theater engagement –Essential for MCO / GWOT / Maritime HLD –Key to “Intelligence Preparation of Battle Space” –Foundation for Proliferation Security Initiative Quickly aggregate high-capability, multi-mission forces for MCO

5. United States Fleet Forces Operational Readiness, Effectiveness, Primacy 5 Operational & Organizational Alignment Traditional Navy strengths – forward presence, operational readiness – remain imperatives in post-9/11 environment, and change accelerants for Navy Future... Pacific, European, Central, Southern, Northern Commands focus on forward deployed responsiveness and regional engagement... Fleet Forces Command focuses on preparation of forces for deployment and Homeland Defense roles Global War on Terrorism demands operational responsiveness... seamless Maritime Domain Awareness... execution of command and control through global network of Joint Force Maritime Component Commanders Value of Fleet Forces Command: – “Business-smart” management of operational readiness preparations – Operator’s perspective in providing input to future capabilities acquisition
