​The business of the DON is to man, train, organize and equip Navy and Marine Corps forces for global operations. In order to achieve this, we must adopt the same aggressive readiness posture in our business processes as we do in every other aspect of warfare, and realize that what we do impacts our ability to fight and win. We continue to move forward with a sense of urgency to deliver and maintain a Navy and Marine Corps that is ready to fight today, while also committing to reform, accountability and modernization that will ensure a Navy and Marine Corps that is ready for tomorrow. To achieve this, the Department of the Navy released its new FY21-23 Business Operations Plan. This plan aligns to the National Defense Strategy lines of effort (Restore Readiness, Strengthen Alliances, and Reform Business Practices) and the 9 strategic objectives in the National Defense Business Operations Plan. It provides a framework that unifies Secretariat, Navy, and Marine Corps activities under 14 DON specific Strategic Objectives realized through 40 Focus Areas.
