Book Description
"This document is a partner piece to 'The Vision for Naval Aviation 2025,' and together they are the roadmap to ensuring Naval Aviation possesses the readiness, capabilities and capacity to deliver on the five essential functions outlined in the maritime strategy, 'A Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower.' The essential functions -- All Domain Access, Deterrence, Sea Control, Power Projection and Maritime Security -- are missions that depend upon Naval Aviation to guarantee their success. It is essential that our vision fully supports and aligns to this cooperative strategy. We are undeniably the best maritime aviation fighting force in the world. That said, near-peer nations and non-state actors pose credible threats to our security. The vision outlined in this document acknowledges our fiscal realities and illustrates that Naval Aviation has the readiness, capability and capacity to prevail. It is consistent with Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus' declaration that we as a sea service "get there sooner, stay there longer, bring everything we need with us and we don't have to ask anyone's permission. We provide our nation's leaders with options in times of crisis.
