NARR/REF A IS NAVOP 010/00, THE WAY AHEAD.  REF B PROVIDES
GUIDANCE FOR NAVY LEADERS FOR 2003//
 
RMKS/1.  REF A INFORMED YOU OF MY TOP FIVE PRIORITIES, INCLUDING
A COMMITMENT TO IMPROVE NAVY-WIDE ALIGNMENT.  SINCE 1997, THE
NAVY HAS ADDRESSED IMPROVED SHORE INSTALLATION EFFECTIVENESS
BY REGIONALIZING MANAGEMENT AND REDUCING THE NUMBER OF
INSTALLATION MANAGEMENT CLAIMANTS FROM 18 TO 8.  BY LATE 2000, WE
BEGAN TO ASSESS THE VALUE OF FURTHER INSTALLATION MANAGEMENT
CLAIMANT (IMC) REDUCTIONS WHILE USING INTEGRATED PROCESS TEAMS
TO IDENTIFY BEST BUSINESS PRACTICES, SET NAVY-WIDE STANDARDS OF
SERVICE, DEVELOP METRICS AND LINK THESE STANDARDS AND METRICS
TO REQUIREMENTS AND FLEET READINESS.
 
2.  PER MY GUIDANCE IN REF B, WE WILL CONTINUE FLEET AND
ORGANIZATIONAL ALIGNMENT THROUGH CONSOLIDATION OF THE EXISTING
INSTALLATION MANAGEMENT CLAIMANTS (COMLANTFLT, COMPACFLT,
COMUSNAVEUR, FSA, NAVSEA, NAVAIR, RESFOR, AND CNET) INTO A SINGLE
IMC.  A NEW COMMAND ENTITLED COMMANDER, NAVY INSTALLATIONS (CNI),
REPORTING DIRECTLY TO ME AS AN ECHELON II COMMANDER, WILL STAND
UP EFFECTIVE 1 OCTOBER 2003.  CNI WILL BE A SINGLY FOCUSED
INSTALLATION MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION WITH CORE RESPONSIBILITY TO
PROVIDE UNIFIED PROGRAM, POLICY AND FUNDING TO MANAGE AND OVERSEE
SHORE INSTALLATION SUPPORT TO THE FLEET.  CNI WILL BE THE BUDGET
SUBMITTING OFFICE FOR INSTALLATION SUPPORT AND THE NAVY POC FOR
INSTALLATION POLICY AND PROGRAM EXECUTION OVERSIGHT.  FUNDING FOR
INSTALLATION SUPPORT WILL FLOW FROM CNO TO CNI, AND FROM CNI TO
THE REGIONS.
 
3.  CONUS REGIONAL COMMANDERS WILL REPORT OPCON TO CFFC; OCONUS
REGIONAL COMMANDERS WILL REPORT OPCON TO THEIR RESPECTIVE
NAVFOR.  ALL REGIONAL COMMANDERS WILL REPORT ADCON TO CNI FOR
INSTALLATION SUPPORT FUNDING AND STANDARDIZATION OF
PROCESS/POLICIES.
 
4.  ALL INSTALLATION COMMANDING OFFICERS WILL REPORT TO THE
APPROPRIATE REGIONAL COMMANDER; SPECIFICS PROMULGATED SEPCOR.
THE REGULAR REPORTING SENIOR FOR INSTALLATION COMMANDING
OFFICERS WILL BE THE APPROPRIATE REGIONAL COMMANDER.
 
5.  NLT 1 APR 03, OPNAV N4 WILL ANNOUNCE AN IMPLEMENTATION
ORGANIZATION, ISSUE DETAILED IMPLEMENTATION GUIDANCE, AND
PROMULGATE A POAM TO STAND UP CNI.
 
6.  I KNOW THAT HARD WORK AND A STRONG BOND OF TRUST AMONG
CLAIMANTS, REGIONS AND INSTALLATIONS ARE REQUIRED TO IMPLEMENT
THESE CHANGES.  THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATIVE EFFORTS AND
INNOVATIVE THINKING TO DATE. INITIATIVES AFFECTING INSTALLATIONS ARE
SENSITIVE BOTH HERE IN WASHINGTON AND IN LOCAL COMMUNITIES.  THUS,
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE CLEARLY COMMUNICATE THAT THE INTENT OF THIS
CHANGE IS TO ESTABLISH A SINGLE SHORE INSTALLATION MANAGEMENT
ORGANIZATION THAT WILL FOCUS ON INSTALLATION EFFECTIVENESS.  OUR
PAST SUCCESSES IN THESE AREAS PROVE THAT WE CAN AND WILL SUCCEED
AS WE CONTINUE TO ALIGN OURSELVES IN SUPPORT OF THE FLEET.
