View Assessment Details

Navy/Marine Corps Air Readiness

The program produces well trained crews and well-maintained aircraft ready for service in the fleet. Together, the crews and aircraft link up with carrier strike groups to provide air power that is independent of access to foreign bases, to protect our national security.

Rating

What This Rating Means

PERFORMING
Effective

This is the highest rating a program can achieve. Programs rated Effective set ambitious goals, achieve results, are well-managed and improve efficiency.
  • The Navy and Marine Corps routinely and effectively deploy expeditionary air power in support of the war-fighting requirements of the Combatant Commanders and the Global War on Terror.
  • The Navy continues to implement the new methods of training, maintaining and deploying carrier air wings called for under the Fleet Response Plan. The Fleet Response Plan's goal is to improve the efficiency of the way the Navy trains and maintains its air and sea forces so that more air wings are ready to deploy at any given time than under the old Cold War approach.
  • The Navy reevaluates the levels of training and resources needed to meet Fleet Response Plan goals on a routine and ongoing basis through the Naval Aviation Readiness Integrated Improvement Process.

Improvement Plan

About Improvement Plans

We are taking the following actions to improve the performance of the program:

  • Evaluating the implementation of the Fleet Response Plan air operations to ensure proper readiness is maintained and that global presence requirements are being met.
  • Providing adequate funding to support Fleet Response Plan goals to be able to surge six aircraft carriers to sea within 30 days notice and one more within 90 days.
