IS THE 2012 CALENDAR FOR AMERICA PLANNING CONFERENCE.
POC/KIM MARKS/CDR/DIRECTOR NAVCO/LOC: MILLINGTON, TN/TEL:
(901) 874-5802/EMAIL:kim.marks@navy.mil//
RMKS/1. THIS SETS FORTH THE 2012 CALENDAR FOR AMERICA
(CFA12), DETAILING THE NAVY'S LARGE-SCALE OUTREACH EVENTS FOR
THE COMING YEAR. EVENTS INCLUDE NAVY WEEKS, FLEET WEEKS,
DIVERSITY EVENTS, WAR OF 1812 BICENTENNIAL COMMEMORATIVE EVENTS,
BLUE ANGEL AIR SHOWS, SHIP COMMISSIONING CEREMONIES AND KEY
RECRUITING EVOLUTIONS AMONG OTHERS.
2. PER REF A AND AS DISCUSSED REF B, RESEARCH AND ASSESSMENT
CONDUCTED OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS HAS SHOWN THAT WHILE AMERICANS
LIKE AND APPRECIATE THE IMPORTANCE OF THEIR NAVY, THEY DO NOT
TRULY UNDERSTAND THE NAVY'S MISSION AND ITS IMPORTANCE. NAVY
OUTREACH EFFORTS MUST BE STRUCTURED AND EXECUTED TO EDUCATE THE
AMERICAN PUBLIC ON THE NAVY'S CAPABILITIES AND RELEVANCE TO
NATIONAL SECURITY. THE PRIMARY GOAL OF NAVY OUTREACH IS TO GAIN
AMERICANS' UNDERSTANDING THAT THE NAVY IS A WARFIGHTING FORCE,
OPERATING FORWARD, READY TO FIGHT AND WIN TODAY AND EVERY DAY.
ACHIEVING THIS GOAL IS A PARTICULAR AND UNIQUE CHALLENGE. THE
NAVY'S MEN AND WOMEN MAKE UP ONLY A FRACTION OF ONE PERCENT OF
THE TOTAL U.S. POPULATION. INDIVIDUAL CONNECTIONS, WHICH CAN BE
THE MOST POWERFUL AND INFLUENTIAL ONES, ARE NOT AS PERVASIVE
TODAY AS IN THE PAST. BECAUSE NAVAL FORCES AND PERSONNEL ARE
BASED PRIMARILY ON BOTH COASTS, THE NAVY IS CHALLENGED TO
COMMUNICATE ITS MISSION AWAY FROM FLEET CONCENTRATION AREAS. IN
2012, THE BICENTENNIAL OF THE WAR OF 1812 PROVIDES A POWERFUL
PLATFORM FROM WHICH TO LAUNCH AN INFORMATIVE OUTREACH CAMPAIGN.
3. TO FURTHER HELP GAIN AMERICANS' UNDERSTANDING OF THEIR NAVY,
PARTICULARLY INTO AREAS OF THE COUNTRY THAT HAVE NO SIGNIFICANT
NAVY PRESENCE, THE NAVY WILL IMPLEMENT A NEW PROGRAM IN 2012 THAT
WILL MATCH 50 SENIOR OFFICER, CIVILIAN AND ENLISTED LEADERS WITH
50 CITIES ACROSS AMERICA. THE "NAVY 50-50" PROGRAM WILL SEND NAVY
LEADERS TO THEIR ASSIGNED CITY FOR 2-3 DAYS OF HIGH-LEVEL
ENGAGEMENTS WITH CORPORATE EXECUTIVES, CIVIC LEADERS, GOVERNMENT
OFFICIALS, UNIVERSITY PRESIDENTS, NON-PROFIT EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS
AND SENIOR EDITORS AND JOURNALISTS FROM THE MEDIA. MORE INFORMATION
ON THIS NEW INITIATIVE WILL BE FORTHCOMING SEPCOR.
4. SIMPLE AND CONSISTENT MESSAGING IS ESSENTIAL TO HELP THE
AMERICAN PUBLIC UNDERSTAND THEIR NAVY. KEY NAVY MESSAGES WILL BE
PROVIDED SEPCOR.
