The fiscal landscape and emerging security environment are unstable and uncertain; balancing budgetary challenges and the need for national defense demand that Naval Aviation fulfill more global commitments while operating within tighter budget limitations.

This document, guided by and aligned to The Vision for Naval Aviation 2025 and its pillars of capability superiority, wholeness, and maintaining capacity, provides our unified view of how Naval Aviation intends to meet the challenges ahead. We will do it through revolutionary changes in capabilities, retaining our aggregate and operational capacity, and by safely, effectively, and affordably executing our job of organizing, manning, training, and equipping fleet combat forces.

Naval Aviation is a warfighting enterprise that continues to be the preeminent forward-deployed force ready to fulfill any mission assigned. Our aircraft carriers, amphibious assault ships, carrier air wings, aviation combat elements, and maritime patrol and reconnaissance forces maintain a combat-ready posture as an instrument of our nation’s will.

For the past century, Naval Aviation has been at the forefront of operational and tactical innovation. Consistent with The Vision for Naval Aviation 2025, we remain focused on systematically establishing an enduring, affordable, lethal, and adaptable approach to meet and shape strategic objectives.

We will continue to operate forward with revolutionary Integrated and Interoperable capabilities designed to face future threats in an increasingly-contested operating environment. Our nation’s demand for access, commerce, and maneuver will require us to continue to evolve capabilities and capacities to assure our nation’s and Navy’s global leadership from the sea. Naval Aviation is a major stakeholder in these operations, and will continue to play key roles in the rebalancing of our nation’s global posture and presence to an emphasis on the Pacific and sustaining support for our partners in the Middle East.

This vision for Naval Aviation aspires to ensure an affordable, powerful Navy that maintains our core competencies across the spectrum of military operations. Our Sailors and Marines embrace the privilege of this awesome responsibility with pride, determination, and enthusiasm.
