*Needs and Uses:* Navy leaders in the Navy 21st Century Office (OPNAV N17) have engaged with researchers at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) through the NPS Naval Research Program to conduct research to investigate if signature and destructive behaviors vary across stages of the Optimized Fleet Response Plan (OFRP). The OFRP is a fleet force model that includes 5 phases: basic, advanced, integrated, sustainment, and maintenance. Ships cycle through the phases to maintain employability and preserve maintenance, modernization, and workup. Anecdotal and observational evidence suggests variation in behaviors across the phases, and, in particular, an uptick in destructive behaviors during the maintenance phase. Congruent with research findings, the Chief of Naval Operations has directed the Navy to create a “Culture of Excellence,” noting that by focusing on positive, signature behaviors, the Navy can build and sustain a lethal force of tough sailors who are ethical and masters of their trade. The Culture of Excellence Campaign's Perform to Plan effort will empower warfighting capability by fostering psychological, physical, and emotional toughness. To meet this goal, the Navy needs to understand what encourages signature behaviors and reduces destructive behaviors and how these behaviors impact readiness.
The overarching aim of this study is to support the Navy Culture of Excellence Campaign's Performance to Plan effort to encourage signature behaviors and reduce destructive behaviors. The study will answer three questions: What are the rates of signature & destructive behaviors during 3 phases of OFRP? Do rates differ by organizational command (department)? How do signature & destructive behaviors impact readiness?
