Without the support of those local communities, our ability to service our warfighting platforms, maintain safe and healthy infrastructure for our workforce, and even deploy assets on time can suffer. The Environmental Stewardship Flagship program recognizes commands who are fortifying those vital relationships through volunteer efforts that protect and restore the natural environment we all share. Congratulations to the winners and honorable mentions on these accomplishments. 6. Released by VADM D. R. Smith, OPNAV N4.// BT #0001 NNNN UNCLASSIFIED//
