3.  These nominations will ensure the Navy is equipped with capable senior 
leaders to employ, generate, and design the Fleet for combat operations, 
recognizing that the continued preeminence of U.S. naval power is 
inextricably linked to the ability to successfully change.  To do so, 
officers with proven sustained superior performance in command leadership 
positions in difficult and challenging assignments, including those in the 
diplomatic/foreign service arena were chosen. 
 
4.  The Board sought innovative and bold leaders who are their own toughest 
critic, who think creatively, challenge assumptions, and take well-calculated 
risks to maximize effectiveness.  The Board selected those officers with 
superior leadership skills that may be further developed in a variety of 
assignments across the Navy without regard to community, platform, or career 
paths to serve as the future leaders of the Navy. 
 
5.  The convening orders and precepts for both boards may be found on the 
MyNavy HR website at the following link:
