.@POTUS has been clear: America will dominate the seas. The @USNavy and @USMC deliver the combat power that deters our enemies, protects our way of life, and secures the homeland. Adm. Caudle, Gen. Smith, and I recognize that the heart of our naval force is not found in the Pentagon, it starts at home - it is in the family and friends who support them. Our Nation's safety, prosperity, and the values we hold dear are upheld by the strength of our military families. Thank you for standing behind our warfighters.

President Trump gave me a clear direction: modernize defense acquisition and accelerate innovation. The Department of the Navy is delivering.

Last December, we established our first Portfolio Acquisition Executive for Robotic & Autonomous Systems, led by Rebecca Gassler.

Today, we add five more interim PAEs:
➡️ Maritime - Chris Miller
➡️ Industrial Operations - VADM James Downey
➡️ Marine Corps - LtGen Eric Austin
➡️ Strategic Systems Programs - VADM Johnny Wolfe
➡️ Undersea / DRPM Submarines - VADM Rob Gaucher

Single accountable leaders empowered to move fast, take measured risk, and deliver capability to our warfighters at speed. Too much is at stake for business as usual.
