The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) operates and maintains the largest inland and coastal Marine Transportation System (MTS) in the world. This system connects the very heartland of America to the rest of the world and is vital to the nation s economy, security and quality of life. To maintain a safe, reliable MTS the USACE is changing parameters that affect the navigation program and making adjustments to minimize risks and maximize benefits produced by the system. This document provides a framework to guide short-term and long- term objectives and identifies activities necessary for the continued success of the USACE navigation program. Objectives and activities presented in this Navigation Strategic Vision support the USACE Campaign Plan and the Civil Works Strategic Plan (Figure 1). Combined, these objectives and activities enable delivery of innovative, effective, sustainable solutions to the Nation and build and cultivate a competent, disciplined, and resilient team equipped to deliver high quality solutions. This document also links with the strategy and vision of the Committee on the Marine Transportation System (CMTS), a partnership of Federal MTS stewards. In 2009, the USACE navigation program management assembled a team of representatives from various regions, agencies and interests who developed the USACE Navigation Strategic Vision that was released in February 2011. While that document provided some specific actions, it was intended to be a compass to guide decisions that would result in a more unified and efficient execution of the Corps navigation mission. A similar team was formed and met in March 2012 to update the initial Strategic Vision and to frame both a tactical plan of action and a monitoring approach to ensure continued implementation.
