CNO Guidance for 2004

• Our goal is to enhance our mission
  accomplishment and deliver a combat-credible Navy
  now and in the future.
• We will continue to pursue organizational and
  operational alignment to ensure that our Navy is
  consistent and credible.
• We must improve our use of modeling, develop and
  improve output metrics to better define our
  requirements and resource needs, and instill a
  culture of improved productivity in everything we
  do.
