Who holds overall responsibility for the NAMP?

The overall responsibility for the Naval Aviation Maintenance Program (NAMP) is held by the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO). The CNO is tasked with overseeing the operational readiness and maintenance standards for the Navy's aviation units. This responsibility includes ensuring that the program is implemented effectively across the fleet and that all squadrons adhere to established policies and procedures. By setting high-level directives and providing the necessary resources, the CNO plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and performance of naval aviation operations.

While the Commanding Officer and Fleet Maintenance Officer are critical in managing and executing maintenance responsibilities within their respective commands and units, their roles are more focused on local implementation rather than overarching program management. The Secretary of the Navy also has a broad scope of responsibilities, but the specific oversight of NAMP falls to the CNO, who works closely with aviation leaders to ensure that maintenance standards and policies are upheld across the Navy.
