Naval Aviation Vision - 2016-2025 U S Marine Corps

Naval Aviation forces are forward, engaged and ready-every day. Expeditionary forces, amphibious forces, nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, air wings, manned and unmanned platforms, rotary- and fixed-wing aircraft are on station, valued and in increasingly higher demand. No other service or community can deliver the capabilities Naval Aviation brings in support of our national interests. It is a national priority to sustain, resource and ultimately expand these capabilities to ensure that when called, Naval Aviation is at the hold short, takeoff checks complete... Ready to Go. This publication is part of the roadmap to ensuring Naval Aviation possesses the readiness, capabilities and capacity to deliver on the five essential functions outlined in the maritime strategy-All Domain Access, Deterrence, Sea Control, Power Projection and Maritime Security-are missions that depend upon Naval Aviation to guarantee their success. It is essential that our vision fully supports and aligns to this cooperative strategy.
