The Board selected these officers to ensure the Navy has the right senior officers to employ, generate, and design our Fleet for combat operations, recognizing that the continued preeminence of the Navy is inextricably linked to our ability to successfully change. To do so, the Navy needs innovative and bold leaders who think creatively and critically are their own toughest critic, challenge assumptions, and take well-calculated risks that maximize effectiveness.

The Board looked for officers with sustained, superior performance in O5 and O6 command who demonstrated key attributes such as: taking ownership while working collaboratively, looking at new ideas with an open mind, generating a culture of continuous learning, and showing absolute readiness to unleash the power of our people in leading men and women coming from widely varying backgrounds.
