Mission one for every Sailor, active and reserve, uniformed and civilian, is the operational readiness of todays Navy. That means being ready both in our personal and professional lives. And part of that readiness, as members of the profession of arms, is holding ourselves to high ideals of integrity and service. 2. Sailors are our asymmetric advantage in a complex and changing environment. Optimizing our Navy teams performance requires us all to drive toward a Culture of Excellence, a culture focused on the high ideals espoused in our Core Values of Honor, Courage, and Commitment. In order to more effectively recruit, develop, manage, reward, and retain the forces of tomorrow, aiming to simply avoid doing the wrong thing is too low a bar; we must actively pursue that which is right. When Sailors feel included, respected, and empowered, they will be more ready to win wars, deter aggression and maintain freedom of the seas. 3. This is not a tagline. This is a call to action, and we must begin today. 4. To reach this vision of cultural excellence, the Navy must evolve beyond simply responding to incidents after they occur. Reactive strategies demand large amounts of our collective time and effort to target a relatively small population. Instead, we must proactively prevent incidents from occurring in the first place. We are hard at work developing the necessary guidance and tools to do so. a. Soon, you will receive the following: (1) Communication guides for senior and deckplate leaders to further explain our way ahead. (2) Information on upcoming pilot programs designed to empower unit- level commanders and their Command Resilience Teams to make data-driven decisions to get to the left of destructive behaviors. 5. Over the last 6 months, we have been reviewing, simplifying and aligning our policies and programs that are duplicative or ineffective. Before we ask you to do anything different, we will leverage this simplification to give deckplate leaders time back for training, qualifications, education, and everything else that promotes combat readiness. We will continue to seek your feedback on these efforts. 6. Navy senior leaders, myself especially, are listening. We are committed to promoting your success. You will soon see a follow-up 12 Star message from our Fleet Commanders, highlighting our unified commitment to signature behaviors. 7. This NAVADMIN will remain in effect until superseded or canceled, whichever occurs first. 8. Released by Admiral M. M. Gilday, Chief of Naval Operations.// BT #0001 NNNN UNCLASSIFIED//
