Commander’s Priorities
READINESS: We save lives wherever our forces operate – at and from the sea.
HEALTH: We will provide the best care our nation can offer to Sailors, Marines, and their families to keep them healthy, ready and on the job.
PARTNERSHIPS: We will expand and strengthen our partnerships to maximize readiness and health.
We are a maritime nation and have been since our founding. Our peace and prosperity are linked to the security of the seas and littorals. To protect that peace and security, America has the greatest and most capable Navy and Marine Corps the world has ever known. The role of Navy Medicine in preserving the health and fighting readiness of that force has never been greater or more critical.
