Decisiveness: Every element of the Navy-Marine Team will be equipped, organized, and trained to bring decisive effects – both lethal and non-lethal – to bear where it counts.
Sustainability: We are capable of arriving quickly and remaining on scene for extended periods
of time. Transforming to fuller seabasing capabilities will provide even greater expeditionary capabilities across the naval and joint force.
Responsiveness: Naval forces operate around the world, around the clock, continuing to operate from the sea, free from basing or permission constraints.
Agility: Our forces are creatively packaged; continuous organizational transformation will create an even more flexible and responsive Naval Force.
