CNA's Support to the Revolution in Business Affairs (RBA). A Review of the Revolution in Business Affairs

Abstract

In today's world of downsizing and shrinking budgets, the Department of the Navy (DoN) continues to seek more efficient and effective ways to support the operational forces. The past decade has seen the end of the Cold War and a rise in the number of crisis response actions. With its ability to project forward presence, the DoN has become a strong element in today's diplomacy. It is apparent that as the missions of the naval services evolve, the infrastructure that supports the operational forces must evolve as well. This infrastructure must be as flexible, responsive, and adaptive as the forces it supports. In response to this situation, in late 1997, the Secretary of the the Navy, John H. Dalton, directed the Under Secretary of the Navy (UNSECNAV), Jerry M. Hultin, to begin work on a strategic plan for the DoN. Such a plan requires the participation of not only the leadership in the Secretariat, but the Navy and Marine Corps as well. This paper documents the DoN's strategic planning, and provides recommendations and lessons learned.
