San Diego Military Advisory Council

Advocate. Inform. Connect.

Since 2004, SDMAC has supported our local military community by advancing the partnership and communication between the military, elected officials, and the business community while serving as a strong advocate for those who serve and their families.

CNO's 2024 Year In Review:

A few notable highlights across the spectrum of Warfighting, Warfighters, and Foundation:

  • Eisenhower, Theodore Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, and Truman Strike Groups successfully defending merchant ships and regional partners from nearly 200 attacks in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. All while also carrying out offensive strikes, to include TLAMs from USS Florida and USS Georgia.
  • Thanks to the hard work of CNRC and leaders across the fleet, we exceeded our recruitment goal by bringing 40,978 new Warfighters to our Navy while retaining 105% of those currently serving.
  • We’re putting ready players on the field with 85 ships on contract, in addition to the 23 battle force ships we added and 15 battle force ships we extended.
  • We’ve invested in more than 40 SIOP projects totaling more than $6B.
  • Quality of Service initiatives including increasing access to quality food, MWR facilities, free WiFi, unaccompanied housing, and childcare continue to grow.

Additionally, we released America’s Warfighting Navy, Culture of Excellence 2.0, Charge of Command, and Navigation Plan 2024, providing our fighting force with valuable guidance and resources designed to help us accomplish our warfighting mission.
