Abstract: The Navy Health of the Force Survey program is a strategic level engagement survey initiative designed to assess climate and culture across the entire Department of the Navy enterprise. When deployed, the Health of the Force Survey is tailored to the unique population (Active Duty Navy, Reserve Navy, Active Duty Marine Corps, and Navy civilians) being surveyed, but also includes a core set of questions and metrics that support comparisons across the Navy and provide a means for evaluating changes in culture and climate over time.
