2. HISTORY, MISSION and VISION
Established on 30 June 2014: Created to provide Fleet support to the 4 Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) DDGs in Rota, the 14 forward deployed MCMs and PCs in Bahrain, and the deployed units in the 5th and 6th Fleet AORs.
Location: FDRMC has three locations, Headquarters in Naples, Italy; Detachment in Rota, Spain; and Detachment in Manama, Bahrain.
Mission: WE FIX SHIPS AND TAKE CARE OF OUR PEOPLE
Vision: FDRMC is prepared to fully support the ships operating in the 5th and 6th Fleets. We are adaptive and transform to meet the challenges of new ships and systems.
Forward Deployed Regional Maintenance Center (FDRMC) assesses risks according to the two tenets of our mission: Fixing Ships and Taking Care of People. FDRMC was established to meet the Navy’s expanding need for Forward Deployed Naval Forces (FDNF) ship repair. We will continue to ensure ships operating in the 5th and 6th fleets, are always ready to defend the American people and values. We must transition FDRMC to meet the future challenges of additional ships within theater and new platforms. FDRMC meets ships whenever and wherever they need support.

The Naval Sea Systems Command is comprised of command staff, headquarters directorates, affiliated Program Executive Offices (PEOs) and numerous field activities. Together, we engineer, build, buy and maintain ships, submarines and combat systems that meet the Fleet's current and future operational requirements. Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) is the largest of the Navy's five system commands. With a fiscal year budget of nearly $30 billion, NAVSEA accounts for nearly one quarter of the Navy's entire budget. With a force of 74,000 civilian and military personnel, NAVSEA engineers, builds, buys and maintains the Navy's ships and submarines and their combat systems. To accomplish this, NAVSEA manages 150 acquisition programs and manages foreign military sales cases that include billions of dollars in annual military sales to partner nations.
CNRMC is responsible for coordinating the depot- and intermediate-level maintenance of the Navy's surface fleet, and for resourcing the many requirements necessary to meet the demanding schedule of ship maintenance availabilities that keep the Navy's warships materially ready for action. CNRMC is the Immediate Superior in Command (ISIC) for each of the direct report Regional Maintenance Centers: Forward Deployed Regional Maintenance Center (FDRMC) headquartered in Naples, Italy with Detachments in Manama, Bahrain & Rota Spain; Mid- Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center (MARMC) in Norfolk, Virginia; Southeast Regional Maintenance Center (SERMC) in Mayport, Florida; Southwest Regional Maintenance Center (SWRMC) in San Diego, California; U.S. Naval Ship Repair Facility And Japan Regional Maintenance Center, Yokuska, Japan
