Description of the Book:

Chairwoman McCollum, Ranking Member Calvert, distinguished Members of the Subcommittee, it is my privilege to update you on Navy Medicine. The last year has been like no other in our lifetimes as we confronted a deadly adversary, the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the disease it causes, COVID-19. The battle continues today. Throughout this global pandemic, the operational tempo of Navy Medicine remains high, as we protect the readiness and health of our Sailors, Marines and their families, along with making direct contributions to the whole of Nation response to help our fellow citizens in need. I want to assure you that despite these unprecedented challenges, the One Navy Medicine team remains relevant, ready and responsive. I am grateful for your continued leadership, support, and confidence as we execute our medical readiness mission in support of the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps, the world’s premier Naval Force.

Aligning Strategy, Priorities and Resources Foundational to Navy Medicine’s mission effectiveness is full synchronization with the strategic direction articulated by the Chief of Naval Operations and Commandant of the Marine Corps in their seminal documents CNO Navigation Plan 2021 and the Commandant’s Planning Guidance 2019, respectively. This guidance, along with the Tri-Service Maritime Strategy (2020), details the way forward in meeting current and future challenges posed by a dramatically changing international security environment. We in Navy Medicine recognize that our lines of effort must be vectored to support these strategic imperatives. Our four priorities – People, Platforms, Performance and Power – ensure important readiness linkages to our Marines and Sailors: Well-trained People, working as cohesive teams on optimized Platforms, demonstrating high value Performance that will project medical Power in support of Naval Superiority
