Foreword
aval forces are unique in their contribution to the nation's defense.
1.\ Versatile naval expeditionary forces are the nation's first responders,
relied upon to establish the tempo of action, control the early phases of
hostilities, and set conditions for decisive resolution. America's ability to
protect its homeland, assure our friends and allies, deter potential adver-
saries, and project decisive combat power depends on maritime superior-
ity. The transformation of naval forces is dedicated to greatly expanding
the sovereign options available worldwide to the President across the full
spectrum of warfare by exploiting our control of the sea. The result of our
transformation will be a Navy-Marine Corps Team providing sustainable,
immediately employable U.S. combat power as part of a transformed joint
force ready to meet any challenge.
As directed in the Defense Secretary's Transformation Planning Guidance,
the Department of the Navy presents its first annual update to the Naval
Transformation Roadmap. Whereas the first roadmap submission in July
2002 described the framework for naval capability development, this road-
map update describes the key naval concepts, capabilities, initiatives, pro-
cesses and programs that guide the efforts of the Navy-Marine Corps Team in
support of the critical operational goals described in the 2001 Quadrennial
Defense Review Report and the newjoint operating and functional concepts
currently being formulated.
