In C-NOte #4, The Way We Fight, Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Daryl Caudle introduces the Navy’s future force design, built upon the Golden Fleet initiative and the Navy Warfighting Concept. This concept organizes naval power into tailored Battle Groups, integrating a high-low mix of carriers, surface combatants, submarines, and unmanned systems, all synchronized under an Enhanced Mission Command Framework (EMCF) to empower initiative. Central to this approach is Expanded Maritime Maneuver, which uses early targeting, persistent sensing, and asymmetric options to create unsolvable dilemmas for adversaries. The note also announces the development of a corresponding Navy Deterrence Concept, aligning the service’s warfighting posture with its daily mission to deter aggression and ensure American maritime power remains credible, resilient, and lethal.
Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Caudle released C NOte #3: World Class Fleet, underscoring the Navy’s unmatched warfighting strength and the Sailors who power it. He introduced a new “Hedge Strategy” to strengthen general purpose forces through tailored offsets, modular platforms, and integrated all domain capabilities designed to outpace evolving threats. The note emphasizes sustained investment, refined command structures, and readiness across critical missions to deter aggression and deliver decisive combat power. Continuous improvement is being advanced through Fleet Improvement Offices (FIOs) under the Office of Warfighting Advantage (OWA), scaling best practices across the Foundry, Fleet, and Fight.
Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Daryl Caudle released C-NOte #2, “Foundry Always,” declaring People, Infrastructure, and Materiel as the service’s central engine for readiness. Ready Relevant Learning will be rebranded as the Career Training Continuum and the Military Learning Continuum, civilian workforce development, and Live Virtual Constructive training will be rapidly expanded to modernize and accelerate sailor skills.
The Navy will modernize shore infrastructure, boost shipyard throughput with added shifts and improved training, revise the Battle E to recognize high performing shore installations, and reform materiel and maintenance through stronger supply chains, accurate COSALs, establishment of SIMA in Norfolk and San Diego, and adoption of advanced technologies.
The Navy has launched its first self-paced learning experience designed to introduce the Get Real Get Better (GRGB) mindset, skillset, and toolset that drive cultural transformation across the force.
This training equips Sailors and Civilian teammates with:
By completing this course, learners gain insight into applying GRGB daily—whether addressing maintenance issues, streamlining administrative workflows, leading teams, or disciplined problem-solving to achieve mission success.
