MECHANICSBURG, Pa. (NNS) -- Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Commander Rear Adm. Mike Lyden released his FY11 Commander's Guidance Nov. 9. The Guidance remains aligned to the Chief of Naval Operations' priorities to Build the Future Force; Maintain Our Warfighter Readiness; and Develop and Support Our Sailors, Navy Civilians, and their Families.

"In FY11 we must maintain our laser focus on cost effective support to Sailors around the world," Lyden said. "We must also continue to be leaders on the business side of the Navy and play a key role in the daily execution of the Navy enterprise and support infrastructure."

The Commander's Guidance includes five focus areas: Efficiency and Affordability; Global Network; Navy Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) & Logistics Systems; Quality of Life; and Our People, which are driven by 31 strategies. The strategies are designed to change the way NAVSUP does business.

"To underscore how the strategies will impact our basic business, we have mapped each strategy into one of three primary business lines: Weapon System Support; Global Logistics Support; and Sailor and Family Support," Lyden said. "The strategies will drive specific changes to how we operate that business line with specific outcomes and deliverables clearly defined."

"Our success depends on the dedication, professionalism, and skills of our entire workforce. Every day, the members of the NAVSUP enterprise provide vital support to our customers around the world. The products and services we provide—our basic business—play a key role in maintaining warfighter readiness and improving the quality of life for our Sailors and their families. My Commander's Guidance conveys the strategic initiatives that will help us improve the way we accomplish our basic business in the future," Lyden said.
