Rhumb Lines

Naval Logistics Integration

“The essence of flexibility is in the mind of the commander; the substance of flexibility is in logistics.” -- Rear Adm. Henry E. Eccles, Logistics in the National Defense, 1959
“We finally broke the code on logistics; working with the Navy our equipment stayed above 94% during the deployment.” -- Brig. Gen. Ronald Johnson, Commanding Officer, 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit (2003-2007)


Rhumb Lines is a weekly update for Flag and General Officers and senior civilians prepared by the Chief of Information for the Secretary of the Navy, CNO and Commandant. It gives naval leaders the situational awareness and factual information they need to effectively communicate the priorities of the Navy Department. Adm. Vern Clark called Rhumb Lines his principal "alignment" tool to allow a diverse and dispersed cadre of naval leaders to speak with one voice on critical issues. Navy League has been given permission to share Rhumb Lines with you, our members, so that each of you can remain similarly informed.
