RMKS/1. THIS MESSAGE ANNOUNCES THE 2009 CALENDAR FOR AMERICA (CFA), LISTING THE NAVY'S LARGE-SCALE CONUS OUTREACH EVENTS FOR THE COMING YEAR. EVENTS INCLUDE NAVY WEEKS, FLEET WEEKS, DIVERSITY EVENTS, BLUE ANGELS AIR SHOWS, SHIP COMMISSIONINGS, AND KEY RECRUITING EVOLUTIONS AMONG MANY OTHERS.
2. THE CHIEF OF NAVAL OPERATIONS (CNO) HAS A STRONG DESIRE TO TELL THE NAVY STORY TO AMERICA AND HAS DIRECTED A MORE STRATEGIC APPROACH TO THE DEVELOPMENT AND DELIVERY OF THAT MESSAGE. CNO INTENT FOR CFA 2009 IS AS FOLLOWS:
A. VISION: EDUCATE AND INFORM KEY AUDIENCES TO ENHANCE PUBLIC AWARENESS AND UNDERSTANDING -- ESPECIALLY IN NON-FLEET CONCENTRATION AREAS -- OF OUR MISSION AND EXTRAORDINARY PEOPLE IN SUPPORT OF OUR NATION AT WAR.
(1) USE TRADITIONAL COMMUNITY RELATIONS TACTICS, AMPLIFIED BY LOCAL AND REGIONAL MEDIA ENGAGEMENT, AUGMENTED BY SOCIAL NETWORKING AND NEWS MEDIA.
(2) COORDINATE A SERIES OF ENGAGEMENTS HIGHLIGHTING OUR SAILORS, FLEET CAPABILITIES, AND PROFESSIONAL OPPORTUNITIES.
(3) UTILIZE PUBLIC SPEAKING EVENTS, MUSICAL PERFORMANCES, CAPABILITY DEMONSTRATIONS, AND CREATIVE MECHANISMS.
(4) REFINE AND EXECUTE A CALENDAR OF NAVY ENGAGEMENTS THAT LEVERAGES EXISTING
COMMUNITY EVENTS, TO OPTIMIZE NAVY PERSONNEL INTERACTION WITH CIVILIAN MEDIA AND INFLUENCERS.
(5) INCLUDE SENIOR FLAG LEADERSHIP AMONG ALL ECHELONS OF COMMAND AND RANKS OF PERSONNEL.
B. KEY TASKS:
(1) FIRST AND FOREMOST, EDUCATE AMERICANS ABOUT THE MARITIME STRATEGY.
(2) HIGHLIGHT THE COURAGEOUS AND DEDICATED SERVICE OF OUR PERSONNEL. DEMONSTRATE NAVY CAPABILITIES USING THE BLUE ANGELS, TACTICAL DEMONSTRATIONS, LEAP FROGS, NAVY BANDS, AND MYRIAD RECRUITING ASSETS AMONG OTHERS.
(3) CONSIDER SPECIFIC RECRUITING NEEDS, BUT FOCUS BROADLY ON EDUCATING AND
INFORMING THE U.S. PUBLIC AT LARGE.
(4) DIVERSITY THEMES SHALL BE KEY IN OUR MESSAGE.
(5) EMPHASIZE SHIPS' NAMESAKE CONNECTIONS, SAILORS' HOMETOWN TIES, CULTURAL
UNIQUENESS AND INDUSTRIAL INTERESTS AS WELL AS OTHER LOCAL MARKET UNIQUENESS.
C. NAVY WEEK EMPHASIS: CNO IS A STRONG SUPPORTER OF THE NAVY WEEK PROGRAM.
NAVY WEEKS, OUR FLAGSHIP MIDDLE-AMERICA OUTREACH ACTIVITY IS LED BY CHINFO'S
NAVY OFFICE OF COMMUNITY OUTREACH (NAVCO) IN PARTNERSHIP WITH NAVY RECRUITING
DISTRICTS. CNO HAS ASKED MORE SENIOR FLAG LEADERSHIP TO ENGAGE. ACCORDINGLY,
THIS EFFORT WILL REQUIRE INCREASED SUPPORT FROM THE FLEET IN TERMS OF LEADERS
TO SEA VISITS (SUB, SURFACE, AND CARRIER) AND EXPANDED HOMETOWN NEWS COVERAGE
FROM FORWARD DEPLOYED SHIPS AND UNITS, AS WELL AS INCREASED NAMESAKE SHIP VISITS TO NAVY WEEK CITIES. NAVY WEEK RELATIONSHIPS WILL PROVIDE INCREASINGLY STEADY-STATE AND CONSISTENT ENGAGEMENT THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. THE NAVY WEEK 2009 PROGRAM EMBRACES THE EXPEDITIONARY MINDSET, WITH NEARLY 50 PERCENT OF THE NAVY WEEK SCHEDULE BEING IN FIRST-EVER NAVY WEEK LOCATIONS. ALL WILL EMPHASIZE KEY THEMES SUCH AS MARITIME STRATEGY, SELFLESS SERVICE, AND DIVERSITY.
