This doesn’t appear to be correct – Can this really be the BIGGEST cyber challenge facing the Navy??
Vice Admiral Jan E. Tighe is reported to have said that the biggest cyber challenge facing the Navy is the protection of sensitive but unclassified (SBU) information that resides outside of its networks.
From this ARTICLE. Do we need a Task Force SBU?? Is someone aware of which organization is tasked with working to resolve the biggest cyber challenge facing the Navy?
Seems like this would be addressed in the DoD’s Risk Management Framework for cyber.
Your Chance to Influence The Navy’s New Slogan

| “HOOK “EM HORNS” has already been used. |
Remember how the Navy in the U.S. is moving away from the whole “Global force for good” message, into something a little more, uh, aggressive?
This will come as a shock to some of you

“All Navy officers, particularly our senior leadership in positions of unique trust and responsibility, must uphold and be held to the highest standards of personal and professional behavior.”
Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus in his remarks after censuring three senior Naval officers. NJP for an enlisted Sailor for similar offenses would have seen fines, reduction in rate, very likely restriction and extra duty.

A Promise From The Past – LONG Forgotten
NETWARCOM Strategic Plan 2006-2010
Execution of the plan: Responsibility for each part of the plan is clearly indicated in the document. Tier I goals are collectively owned by the Commander, Vice Commander, and Deputy Commander (the strategic leadership team).
Tier II goal owners are accountable for accomplishing strategies and removing barriers, identifying resources, and tracking progress. These goal owners may establish a virtual team when needed to determine a Plan of Action and Milestones for their goals, and then monitor progress.
Each month, the strategic leadership team will review progress in achieving goals.
This plan will ultimately be linked to all existing NETWARCOM headquarters functions (Weekly Activity Reporters (WAR), military FITREPS and evaluations, civilian awards, civilian/contractor/resource allocation, etc.).
Stakeholders will be kept informed of progress in goal achievements.
NETWARCOM Strategic Plan 2006-2010 (THE LINK IS DEAD – as are the ideas originally expressed) Excellent ideas, poor execution.
