Sea Power 21

Sea Power 21

In 2003 the United States Navy launched the Sea Power 21 [http://www.chinfo.navy.mil/navpalib/cno/proceedings.html] transformation plan in an effort to make the Navy more flexible and more agile to effectively meet future threats. A significant portion of the plan was "Sea Warrior", which intends to link the fleet's personnel processes (recruiting, training, and assigning) with acquisition processes (buying ships, aircraft, etc.) in a way that also improves each individual sailor's ability to guide his or her own career in a satisfying direction. Sea Warrior's aim is to more efficiently muster the right number of sailors with the right skills and seniority at each ship, squadron, and duty station, thereby enhancing the joint warfighting effectiveness of the entire Navy.

Sea Enterprise is one of the three supporting processes in Sea Power 21. It involves Navy headquarters, the systems commands, and every commander throughout the Navy in its goals of improving organizational alignment, refining requirements, and reinvesting savings to help the Navy recapitalize and transform. Sea Enterprise also provides a means to scrutinize the Navy's spending practices from the top line all the way to the bottom dollar.
