SUBJ/DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY BUSINESS OPERATIONS PLAN//

RMKS/1.  For 243 years, the Navy and Marine Corps team has operated as the 
foundation of Americas military strength and forward-deployed presence, 
deterring conflict when possible, and ensuring that our Nation is always 
ready to fight and win whenever and wherever required.

2.  As our Navy and Marine Corps regain readiness, restore lethality and 
prepare to compete against peers, near-peers and trans-national adversaries 
alike, we must strive to make our department as efficient, effective, and 
agile as possible to ensure that we can meet our Nations call now and into 
the future.

3.  In order to achieve this, we must adopt the same aggressive readiness 
posture in our business processes as we do in every other aspect of warfare, 
and realize that what we do, whether Sailor, Marine or Civilian, impacts our 
ability to fight and win.

4.  To that end, I am pleased to announce to the release of the Department of 
the Navy Business Operations Plan (DONBOP) for Fiscal Years 2019-2021.  This 
plan establishes the framework for the Department of the Navys continuing 
business reform agenda.

5.  The DONBOP represents a strategic shift for the DON, from oversight to 
leadership in ensuring that the DONs business operations effectively and 
efficiently achieve its mission to man, train, and equip Navy and Marine 
Corps forces for global operations.

6.  Through greater accountability, more agile processes and better 
management of business operations, the plan will enable greater efficiencies, 
permitting the department to reallocate resources from business operations to 
readiness, seeking the advantages of new innovation ecosystems, and 
recapitalizing our naval forces for the future.

7.  The DONBOP aligns to the three lines of effort expressed in the National 
Defense Strategy:  Rebuild Military Readiness as We Build a More Lethal Joint 
Force, Strengthen Our Alliances and Attract New Partners, and Reform the 
Departments Business Practices for Greater Performance and Affordability, as 
well as to the nine objectives defined in the Fiscal Year 2018-2022 National 
Defense Business Operations Plan.

8.  As the Chief Management Officer, I am confident that together, we can 
revolutionize the way we manage the DON in order to provide the resources our 
operating forces need to face current and future threats to our security.

9.  This will not be easy, nothing worthwhile ever is, but our heritage 
unquestionably proves the Navy and Marine Corps team will always rise to meet 
a challenge and this challenge is ours!

10.  The DONBOP is available at www.navy.mil/DONBOP.

11.  Released by the Honorable Thomas B. Modly, Under Secretary of the 
Navy.//
