Mission & Vision
Mission CNIC enables and sustains Fleet, Fighter, and Family readiness through consistent, standardized, and reliable shore support. CNIC's role as a Supporting Commander evolves into the Supported Commander when directed.
Strategic Vision Navy Installations operate as extensions of Fleet warfighting capabilities.
History
Established on October 1, 2003, Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC)  is the Echelon II command under the Chief of Naval Operations responsible for Navy-wide shore installation management.  The stand up of CNIC was an effort in the continuation of fleet and regional shore installation management organizational alignment that began in 1997 with the reduction of installation management claimants from 18 to 8. The intent of CNIC is to establish a single shore installation management organization that will focus on installation effectiveness and improve the shore installation management community's ability to support the fleet.
Commander, Navy Installations Command has overall shore installation management responsibility and authority as the Budget Submitting Office for installation support and the Navy point of contact for installation policy and program execution oversight.
Commander, Navy Installations Command Headquarters is located in Building 168 on the Naval District Washington Anacostia Annex in Southwest Washington, D.C.

CNIC Supports Fleet, Fighter, Family
CNIC's mission is to enable the Navy's Operating Concept through Enterprise alignment of all shore installation support to the Fleet, Fighter and Family.  Now what does all that mean?
The Navy's Operating Concept or "NOC" is essentially "Big" Navy's mission statement of how DOD's maritime component will execute its mission.
The Enterprises are those warfighting domains (Naval Aviation Enterprise (NAE), Undersea Enterprise (USE), etc.) which oversee the procurement, use and sustainment of all the ships, aircraft, submarines and their associated operating concepts, so the Navy can execute the NOC.
CNIC's job as an "enabler" is to thread a needle across these Enterprises, with the needle and thread equating to all the services our installations provide on a daily basis in support of the Enterprises. These services (Ports, Airfields, MWR and Housing, to name just a few) are how we support the "Fleet, Fighter and Family."
"Fleet" represents the operating forces of the Navy. CNIC ensures all installation requirements necessary to train and operate the Fleets (Ports, Airfields, Training Ranges, etc.) are maintained and ready regardless of tempo.
"Fighter" represents the men and women in the operating forces. CNIC ensures the installation's ability to facilitate the manning, training and equipping of the Navy's fighting force never skips a beat.
"Family" represents the men and women of the armed forces and their families. To ensure our fighting force is supported on all fronts, our Family and Community Services, Housing and Safety efforts provide the "peace of mind" to allow "Big" Navy to operate effectively.

Navy Reserve Mission - "Support to the Fleet ... Ready and Fully Integrated"
The mission of the U.S. Navy Reserve Force is to provide mission-capable units and individuals to the Navy, Marine Corps Team throughout the full range of operations from peace to war.
In today's environment this new mandate takes on added meaning and responsibilities as the Navy Reserve Force is called on to play an increasingly active role in the day to day planning and operational requirements of the active Navy.  The Navy Reserve represents 20% of the Navy's total assets and is a significant force multiplier the fleet must have to meet its growing global commitments.
The Navy Reserve Force consists of the Ready Reserve, the Standby Reserve and the Retired Reserve numbering over 690,000 men and women. The "Ready Reserve" is made up of "Selected Reserve" personnel and "Individual Ready Reserve" (IRR) personnel. The Selected Reserve, or SELRES, is the Navy's primary source of immediate mobilization manpower and represents those Reservists who are paid, either as weekend drillers, or who serve as Full Time Support (FTS) on active duty status in the training and administration of the Navy Reserve Force program. Other reserve categories include the Standby Reserve and the Retired Reserve.

What to Say:
The Air Force is divided into ten Major Commands organized on a functional basis in the United States and by geographic location overseas. Each command has child development and youth specialists. Our major command specialists provide their basis with technical guidance, support, training and funding.
The Air Force also includes an Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve component.
The Air National Guard has a dual mission- both federal and state. The federal mission is to maintain well-trained, well-equipped units available for prompt mobilization during war and provide assistance during national emergencies. During peacetime, the combat-ready units and support units are assigned to most air Force major commands to carry out missions compatible with training, mobilization readiness, humanitarian and contingency operations such as OEF. When not mobilized or under federal control, ANG units report to the governor of their state. Under state law, the ANG provides protection of life, property and preserves peace, order and public safety for example during natural disasters, search and rescue operations and support to civil defense authorities.

General Cota reportedly followed their direction and on his way down the beach said, “Lead the way, Rangers!”
The Rangers from the 2nd Bat reportedly said, “WHO US!?” General Cota thought he heard them say, “HOOAH!” He was so impressed with their cool and calm demeanor, not to mention their cool term, “HOOAH”, he decided to make it a household term.
