Figure 1: The Philippine Navy Sail Plan strategy map
The Sail Plan strategy map tells the story of how the Philippine Navy intends to achieve
its vision. It provides the organisation with the direction and prioritisation of effort and
resources for developing its capacities and capabilities. It also provides all navy units
with a clear picture of the inter-relatedness and dependencies of objectives everyone
needs to address through their respective tasks and initiatives in order to achieve the
2020 vision.
Let me now discuss the dynamics of the twin pillars.
The Twin Pillars
On one hand, AADS via its maritime strategic concepts of maritime cooperation, maritime
situational awareness and maritime operations, determines our operational concepts,
which drive capability development, and determining DOTMPLF requirements. Using
these DOTMPLF requirements, capability-force mapping is implemented. The Philippine
Navy force structure is then determined, focusing on a detailed force design and objective
table of organisation and equipment.
