SUBJ/2022 SECRETARY OF THE NAVY ENVIRONMENTAL AWARD WINNERS// 
 
RMKS/1.  The Department of the Navy environmental programs play an important 
role in executing our National Defense Strategy.  The environment is an 
essential part of our mission and a strategic asset that enables warfighter 
readiness.  Environmental stewardship protects and enhances the mission 
capabilities of our installations and training/testing areas, ensures 
operational flexibility by complying with environmental laws and regulations, 
and sustains the resources and public trust and support needed to carry out 
the mission.  The Navy and Marine Corps take a proactive role in maintaining 
and improving the environmental quality on installations and ranges to ensure 
our ability to use them for their intended purposes, raise the quality of 
life for Sailors, Marines, their families, and the local community, and avoid 
significant liabilities that require cleanup, restoration, or other 
actions.  I want to thank our civilians, Sailors, and Marines who are part of 
the environmental team supporting our operations and installations.
