We are well-trained People operating on optimized Platforms

demonstrating high-reliability Performance to project Medical 

Power for Naval Superiority.

We strive to create and maintain a work environment where 

ALL members are treated with dignity and respect. We support 

a Culture of Excellence that instills high ethical standards and 

demonstrates our core values. Our aim is to actively exhibit 

signature behaviors that optimize individual performance and 

strengthen our shipmates.

Navy Medicine ensures the medical, dental, and psychological 

health readiness of America’s Sailors and Marines on the sea, 

under the sea, on the ground, in the skies, and in space. 

We are actively “Rendering Assistance” to our warfighters. 

We keep them in the Fight and ensure they are operationally 

ready for the mission.

We are One Navy Medicine.

WHO WE ARE:

WHAT’S INSIDE:
4 5

Greetings! As the Navy Surgeon General it is my honor to lead our One 

Navy Medicine Team of dedicated medical and support professionals 

who are focused on ensuring Sailors and Marines are healthy and ready to 

fight. When a Sailor or Marine has their worst day, Navy Medicine must be 

at its best. It’s why we serve and wear the uniform. 

From the Age of Sail to today, Navy Medicine has been guided by a singular 

mission to support the warfighter and ensure their readiness. This is our 

North Star. 

We exist to ensure Sailors and Marines are medically, dentally, and 

psychologically ready to support the Navy’s mission of “winning wars, 

deterring aggression and maintaining freedom of the seas.”

We accomplish this through our four strategic priorities or “4Ps” – People, 

Platforms, Performance and Power – and our purpose is very clear: Navy 

Medicine provides well-trained People on optimized Platforms operating as high 

Performance teams to project medical Power in support of Naval Superiority. This is what uniquely 

sets us apart and why we wear the Navy uniform. I liken this to an equation whereby the People, 

Platforms and Performance equals Power. 

To help better meet this mission in July 2022, we stood up Maritime Headquarters (MHQ) and a 

Maritime Operations Command (MOC) at the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED) as well as 

Naval Medical Forces Atlantic (NMFL) and Naval Medical Forces Pacific (NMFP) commands. This new 

operationally focused command structure has already helped increase our speed and streamlined 

processes to meet development and sustainment of medical forces current and future requirements. 

Operational medicine is ensuring we know how to prevent injuries, and conditions with an emphasis on 

mental health. It is being ready and able to deploy medical capability in support of Sailors and Marines. 

It is unparalleled combat casualty care. It is preparing for the next fight with new medical platforms to 

include small medical teams, patient transport ships and the next generation hospital ship. It is looking 

to and meeting the future fight. 

Finally, if you are a Navy Medicine team member, you are part of a long line of brave, intelligent, and 

caring Navy Medicine professionals who deliver operational medicine – on, above, below the sea, and 

on the battlefield. Thanks for all you do. I have the upmost respect and admiration for your service and 

professionalism.

Sea Warriors,

As Navy Medicine’s 16th Force Master Chief, I aid the Navy’s Surgeon 

General as the senior enlisted advisor for all matters pertaining to the 

enlisted Sailors within our ranks. I am charged with ensuring that each 

Sailor has the training and tools necessary to best support our warfighters.

In addition, I lead the Navy’s largest and most decorated rating as the 

Director of the Hospital Corps. From my time spent on a medical ward as 

a junior Hospital Corpsman, and through my tours as an Independent Duty 

Corpsman aboard various ships and Marine Corps units, to now, as Director, 

the Hospital Corps is at the very center of who I am. 

In the world of healthcare, Navy Medicine is unique when compared to our 

civilian counterparts. Our focus is operational. We deliver the highest caliber 

of medical care regardless of location or environment. Navy Medicine provides 

exemplary care on the battlefield, aboard ships, in the air, and underwater. We 

provide care to communities stricken by war, disaster, and illness. We deliver care unlike 

anywhere else in the world because nowhere else has the Sailors we have in our ranks. 

Our One Navy Medicine Team is comprised of more than healthcare providers. We are a team of Sailors 

who are also Doctors, Nurses, Corpsmen, Administrators, Yeomen, Personnelmen, Culinary Specialists, 

and much more. And every Sailor, regardless of their role, rating, and rank, is essential to the success of 

the medical mission. 

Serving alongside such a diverse group of outstanding Sailors is one of my career’s most humbling and 

fulfilling challenges. I’m privileged to lead you, honored to serve alongside you, and proud to belong to 

Navy Medicine.

CHARLIE MIKE:

Rendering Assistance

In an era long before the advent of satellites, cell phones, and 

radios, seafarers used a communication system based on flags 

and pennants. Transmitting messages over long distances is 

called Semaphore, and these visual signals enabled ships to 

communicate with other ships at sea.

For more than 30 years, Navy Medicine has used Semaphore 

Flags part of the International Code of Signals to convey our 

posture and activity within the Fleet. 

In 1987, we adopted the motto “Charlie Golf One” to signify Navy Medicine 

was “Standing By, Ready to Assist.” 

Following the attacks on September 11th, Navy Medicine shifted to “Charlie 

Papa” meaning that we were “Steaming to Assist” in times of crisis.

In November 2021, we shifted our colors to reflect our active mission of 

“Rendering Assistance” to our warfighters. We are keeping them in the Fight 

and ensuring they are operationally ready for that next mission. 

In Semaphore, Rendering Assistance is communicated by an Answer Pennant 

and two Flags -- “Charlie” and “Mike.” 

These signal flags will help guide us forward as we continue to deliver 

operational medical capabilities to our Sailors and Marines. 8

WHAT WE DO: 

OPERATIONAL MEDICINE

Wherever a Sailor or Marine goes, Navy Medicine is there, ready and engaged. We are there 24/7 

rendering medical aid in military treatment facilities or austere locations. We are deployed aboard 

ships, submarines, aircraft and on land. 

We have medical researchers and scientists working to protect our forces against disease and 

environmental threats, and we provide humanitarian assistance around the world. We train in 

order to provide combat specific medical care in all kinds of scenarios. On a warfighters worst 

day, we have to be at our best. 

Navy Medicine ensures Sailors and Marines are healthy and always ready to defend America.

Navy Medicine must be manned, trained, and equipped to deliver integrated medical 

capabilities that operate forward with the warfighter. Navy Medicine personnel are resourced 

and aligned to support warfighting requirements. Our highly-trained people are assigned to 

platforms where they actively demonstrate high-reliability performance to project medical 

power for naval superiority.

Navy Medicine brings greater capabilities farther forward. 

Navy Medicine is focused on training Sailors and Marines to care for service members at the 

point of injury for longer periods. We are acquiring lighter, smaller, more versatile medical 

capabilities that get care closer to the point of conflict. We operate a global network of 

medical laboratories and environmental and preventive medicine units that make vital 

contributions each day to our warfighters and make our Navy and Marine Force stronger 

through surveillance activities, medical research, and public health support.
