For anything that needs higher-level attention, the commanders and lieutenant colonels can <a href=\"https:\/\/portal.secnav.navy.mil\/orgs\/fmc\/lists\/runningfix\/ccs_newform.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">submit their ideas online<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rumbaugh acknowledged in a Jan. 8 media call that lawmakers are making progress toward passing defense appropriations for the current fiscal year, rather than ask the military to go a whole year under a continuing resolution. \u201cNevertheless, it\u2019s still a capped budget, there still is another capped year still to come,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd that means we need to take responsibility \u2014 just as the act is called, Fiscal Responsibility Act \u2014 we need to be responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars and prove that we are doing the best with the dollars that we have.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rumbaugh said there is a nuanced tie between the Running Fix effort and cost savings. On the one hand, he explained, this initiative comes as the Pentagon faces years of spending caps even amid high inflation, rising labor costs, and expanding real-world operations and threats that put additional pressure on the budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But, he said, \u201cthis is not an efficiency drill. It\u2019s not a cut drill. This is a \u2018do things better.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first phase, for solicitations, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mynavyhr.navy.mil\/Portals\/55\/Messages\/ALNAV\/ALN2024\/ALN24006.txt?ver=ZIRXK9RLEja6a5R-Ga11Sw%3d%3d.\" target=\"_blank\">began Jan. 8 and will remain open<\/a> for at least two weeks. It could be more, Rumbaugh said, given his partner in this effort, Nickolas Guertin, was recently sworn in as the assistant secretary of the Navy for research, development and acquisition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In subsequent phases, working groups will select the nominated issues they\u2019ll tackle based on what has the potential for substantial payoff. Groups will then look closer at the chosen issues to examine how to implement them and what budget impact the change would have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Final implementation will come in the fiscal 2026 budget, Rumbaugh said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leaders want feedback on where the service can spend more efficiently and repurpose its
