People provide the real combat edge in our nation's combat capability. Leadership must continue to recognize that the most important element in our overall readiness is the quality of our people. To make us a better, stronger, more capable force, we must mentor our people to ensure they have the leadership skills and tools to succeed; implement a long-range employment strategy to man and sustain the Fleet for battle; recruit, engage, and retain the best people-military and civilian; and create opportunities for the development and use of each diverse individual's full potential, leveraging their unique capabilities.
Goal 2: Deliver Responsive Short Term Readiness
Everything we do must keep the Pacific Fleet ready to fight and win. We will accurately define and continuously validate our readiness requirements. We will adapt the maintenance and training cycle to Fleet Response Plan needs. We will ensure our maintenance and training processes provide proven output, as measured by mission readiness, mission accomplishment, and warfighting effectiveness. Through leadership, innovation, and transformation, we will challenge the assumptions of current readiness processes and ensure we meet near-term requirements while maintaining long-term sustainability. We will work as one team to maximize readiness, guaranteeing our ability to fight and win.
Goal 3: Advance 21st Century Naval Operational Concepts
The Department of the Navy is committed to a program of modernization that will deliver ships and aircraft that are the best in the world. COMPACFLT must plan for delivery of the necessary facilities, systems, resources, and trained people to ensure the readiness of these ships and aircraft to advance 21st century naval operational concepts. To meet this challenge of long-term readiness we must guarantee future warfighting effectiveness through transformational technologies, innovative operational concepts, and robust procurement. It will be our priority to promote best business practices which streamline our support structure and free up resources for the warfighter. We will properly structure Pacific Fleet to fight and win, multilaterally where possible, unilaterally when necessary.
Goal 4: Promote Home and Family; Individual Growth and Work Environments
Recognize the contributions of Sailors and their families, and ensure personal and family success, by providing quality bachelor and family housing. Provide a safe, functional and productive work environment that supports successful accomplishment of the assigned mission, and in which a sailor can take pride and excel.
Goal 5: Align to Produce Combat Ready Fleet Forces
Alignment–organization and communication–leads to enhanced mission accomplishment. Our goal is to align the Pacific and Atlantic Fleets to produce a consolidated set of long and short term Fleet requirements that will ensure the highest near term and future warfighting and combat readiness. The results of this effort will be a sharper output-based focus on fleet readiness. Where possible, organizational alignment will enhance our ability to communicate, building trust and producing realistic expectations and accomplishment of realistic goals. Embedded in this objective is the alignment focus to expand Fleet’s authority to determine requirements and resourcing decisions, while streamlining organizations and communicating realistic expectations.
As Commander of the largest maritime security environment on the globe, we will take actions to enhance our ability to respond immediately and effectively as both a naval component and as a joint force provider and commander. In joint operations, Pacific Fleet will adopt theater transformation initiatives to enable exploitation of tactics, techniques and procedures critical to joint mission success. Pacific Fleet will promote and participate in technology and experimentation initiatives that accelerate the ability of Pacific Fleet staff and forces to excel in all PACOM joint operations. Pacific Fleet will pursue PACOM Theater Security Cooperation (TSC) engagement that asserts our AOR responsibility as the principal maritime engagement counterpart with our allied partners. Finally, Pacific Fleet will pursue development of new operational concepts to leverage those concepts to more effectively conduct joint and combined operations.
