U.S. Navy Arctic Roadmap

Abstract

1. Scientific evidence indicates that the Earth's climate is changing, and the most rapid changes are occurring in the Arctic. Because the Arctic is primarily a maritime environment, the Navy must consider the changing Arctic in developing future policy, strategy, force structure, and investment. 2. During the Chief of Naval Operations (eNO) Executive Board on 15 May 2009, CNO directed the establishment of Task Force Climate Change (TFCC) and the development of an Arctic roadmap for the Navy. Enclosure (1) provides a holistic, chronological list of Navy action items, strategic objectives, and desired effects regarding the Arctic for Fiscal Years (FY) 2010-2014. 3. The Navy Arctic Roadmap will remain in effect until promulgation of the next Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) report in FY-14, when the roadmap will be reviewed and revised to incorporate QDR guidance.
