Navy Strategic Guidance Go FAST! Fundamentally, the world has become dramatically more globalized, and this trend is accelerating. The pace at which potential competitors are moving demands that we, in turn, increase The speed at which we act. Our advantage is shrinking we must start today and we must improve faster. We need a new, faster way to align, allocate and accelerate scientific discoveries to naval programs of record and deployment as new capabilities. ALIGN ALLOCATE - ACCELERATE
