Ensuring success at sea depends on training and testing in coordination with the Marine Corps, Coast Guard, other services, and our nation’s allies.

In the Pacific Ocean, the ability to conduct training and testing activities in a realistic environment is the single greatest asset the Navy, working along with other services and our allies, has to ensure ships are prepared to deploy on schedule; that Sailors are ready to carry out their duties as required; and vessels, aircraft, and weapons systems operate as intended. 

Importance of Military Readiness Activities

At-Sea Training

  • Is required by law for the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard to be ready at all times to defend the United States by conducting operations at sea.
  • Is essential to protecting and defending the United States, its territories, allies, and national interests.

Testing

  • Needed to research, develop, acquire, and evaluate weapons, systems, manned and unmanned aircraft, surface ships, submarines, unmanned underwater vehicles, and other specialized technologies.
  • Gives U.S. military services a technological advantage over potential adversaries.
