These nominations will ensure the Navy is equipped with capable senior leaders to employ, generate, and design the Fleet for combat operations, recognizing that the continued preeminence of U.S. naval power is inextricably linked to the ability to successfully change by advancing our culture.  To do so, officers with proven sustained superior performance in command leadership positions in difficult and challenging assignments, including those in the diplomatic/foreign service arena were chosen.

The Board sought innovative and bold leaders who are ready to sustain the Get Real, Get Better movement by role-modeling GRGB leadership behaviors and problem solving.  These officers are their own toughest critic, think creatively, challenge assumptions, and take well-calculated risks to maximize effectiveness. The Board selected those officers with superior leadership skills that may be further developed in a variety of assignments across the Navy without regard to community, platform, or career paths to serve as the future leaders of the Navy.
