SUBJ/2024 SECRETARY OF THE NAVY ENVIRONMENTAL AWARD WINNERS// 
 
RMKS/1.  Department of the Navy environmental programs play an important role 
in achievement of 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 United States Navy (USN) and United States Marine Corps 
(USMC) 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 
Sailors, Marines, and Civilians who are part of the environmental team that 
supports our operations and installations.
