23 Years as the Foundation of Fleet Readiness ⚓

Long before a ship gets underway or an aircraft launches, mission readiness begins right on the shore with our airfields, waterfronts, barracks, and child development centers.

Today, Commander, Navy Installations Command celebrates 23 years of delivering the shore infrastructure, installation services, and quality of life programs that power the global fleet.

Key milestones driving our mission forward:
🔹 Modernizing barracks via the No Sailor Lives Ashore initiative
🔹 Enhancing human performance, nutrition, and Sailor resilience
🔹 Accelerating public works repairs under local command leadership
🔹 Expanding virtual behavioral health and family support resources

"Our responsibility is to create the environments where people, platforms, and missions are ready to perform at their very best," – Vice Adm. Brad Collins, Commander, CNIC.

Swipe through to see our team in action across our 10 regions and 71 installations worldwide!

Today, we gathered at the Northwest Annex Chapel to honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation, and to stand in solidarity with our Gold Star Families.
During the ceremony, the solemn toll of a bell accompanied each name read aloud—acknowledging their absence but celebrating their enduring legacy and service.
To our Gold Star Families: We hear you, we honor you, and we will never forget.
Thank you to the Navy Gold Star Program for making today's remembrance possible.

The Secretary of the Navy and the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) officially established the Robotic and Autonomous Systems Warfighting Development Center (RASWDC) today, marking a critical milestone in accelerating the development, operational integration, and employment of robotic and autonomous systems (RAS) across the maritime domain.

Headquartered at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story, RASWDC is an Echelon 3 warfighting development center operating under U.S. Fleet Forces Command. The command will serve as the Navy’s dedicated, Fleet-facing operational integration point for robotic and autonomous capabilities.

“To maintain our decisive maritime advantage, we must rapidly integrate robotic and autonomous systems into how we operate, train, and deploy,” said the Chief of Naval Operations. “The establishment of RASWDC ensures our Sailors are equipped with the tactical edge, advanced training, and specialized doctrine required to win the high-end fight.”

The establishment of RASWDC operates in tandem with the recently announced Direct Reporting Portfolio Manager for Robotic and Autonomous Systems (DRPM RAS). While DRPM RAS provides single accountable portfolio authority for RAS acquisition, requirements implementation, budgeting, technical standards, and fielding, RASWDC focuses entirely on operational employment.

Together, these organizations create a rapid, direct feedback loop between the acquisition enterprise and operational forces. By capturing lessons from testing, experimentation, and training, RASWDC will ensure empirical performance data is returned rapidly to developers and program managers to improve future capability.

“RASWDC is the critical bridge between capability development and operational employment,” the CNO added. “By forging a direct feedback loop, we are accelerating the delivery of unmanned capabilities from the foundry directly to the Fleet, ensuring our forces are postured to meet any challenge.”

As robotic and autonomous systems become increasingly vital to naval warfare, RASWDC is designed to rapidly test, learn, iterate, and field capabilities.

Empowering Local Leadership ⚓

The Navy has completed its public works realignment, transitioning approximately 10,000+ military and civilian personnel from NAVFAC to CNIC.

What this means:
🔹 Faster Decisions: Installation maintenance teams are now under the direct authority of base commanding officers, allowing them to prioritize local repairs quickly.
🔹 Strategic Focus: NAVFAC continues to deliver essential infrastructure construction, engineering, and contracting support.
🔹 What’s Next: The final transition stage for affected personnel in Japan is scheduled for Nov. 1.

Child Development Center, Arriving!

On September 15 Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor leaders, Sailors, civilian team members and families gathered to cut the ribbon on the new Child Development Center (CDC).

The new State of the Art facility will add 200 for much needed spaces for children of military personnel in the region, roughly doubling the capacity of the CDC it replaced.

The new childcare centre is a critical component of the Navy’s commitment to supporting service members and their families and to keep project under the Chief of Naval Operations “Sailor First” initiative.
