Bee Power 21

Abstract

In October 2002, the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) published his strategic vision for the 21st century U.S. Navy entitled Sea Power 21. From this strategic guidance, subordinate Naval commands will follow the CNO's lead and tailor their own Command strategies to match the new concepts and goals established. Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) has much to offer the current Naval strategy, and in keeping with its tradition of contribution and service to the fleet, will want to align its strategic plan with the Sea Power 21 vision. In many ways NAVFAC is already benefiting from the concepts of Sea Power 21, but in the interests of alignment and visibility in a transforming Navy, the NAVFAC organization needs to identify its contribution and communicate its vision within the newly established context. This paper will attempt to identify those elements contained in the new Navy vision to which NAVFAC already contributes, suggest the format in which these elements be communicated, and recommend additional points that NAVFAC should emphasize to align its strategic vision with that of the Navy. The ultimate goal is a NAVFAC Strategic Plan that clarifies its vision for the organization and the Navy, motivates the people within the organization, and coordinates their contributions to and within the context of the Sea Power 21 vision.
