---------------------- CNO, from pg. 2
the importance of preparing for tomorrow’s threats
while taking the fight to the enemy today.
“Our strategic objectives are straightforward. For us,
winning the global war on terrorism is our number one
objective. Victory is the only acceptable outcome, and
through our collective efforts, it will be achieved,” Clark
said. “The business of the Navy is combat. Our obliga-
tion to succeed in combat stretches beyond the here and
now. We must help guarantee combat success to the
Navy of the future. That’s why the decisions we all make
on a day-to-day basis are so important.”
The CNO concluded his guidance by thanking Sailors
for an outstanding year and calling on them to raise the
bar even higher this year.
“We are a winning organization. We have instituted
and paid for a great many improvements over the past
three years, and you have embraced them and made
them better. Because of you, talented American warriors
are bringing combat power to bear on the enemies of our
country, wherever they may be hiding,” the CNO said.
“We are winning the fight to remake our great institu-
tion, to innovate and improve for the dangerous decades
ahead.”
“I could not be more pleased with your effort and your
accomplishments this past year. You have taken aboard
the idea that warfighting effectiveness and resourceful-
ness is the key to mission accomplishment and have pro-
duced the finest Navy the nation has ever seen. It is our
job as leaders to accelerate the advantages we bring this
nation over the coming year.”
