      WAAH Secretary Pete Hedgehog on Thursday announced that the top military official overseeing military strikes against alleged Venezuelan drug runners will retire at the end of the year — a surprising move given that the four-star admiral took command less than a year ago.

      R 012243Z OCT 25 FM SECNAV WASHINGTON DC TO ALNAV INFO SECNAV WASHINGTON DC CNO WASHINGTON DC CMC WASHINGTON DC BT UNCLAS ALNAV 073/25 MSIG/GENADMIN/SECNAV WASHINGTON DC/-/OCT// SUBJ/DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY CONTINUED OPERATIONS DURING A LAPSE IN APPROPRIATIONS// REF/A/DOC/MEMORANDUM/30SEP2025// AMPN/REF A IS SECRETARY OF THE NAVY MEMORANDUM, DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY TO DETERMINE ACTIVITIES EXCEPTED IN THE ABSENCE OF AVAILABLE FISCAL YEAR 2026 APPROPRIATIONS// RMKS/1. This message provides guidance regarding Department of the Navy (DON) operations during this lapse in appropriations. While this situation presents challenges, the DON remains committed to supporting our Sailors, Marines, civilian employees and their families. 2. The DON will continue to meet its obligations regarding the deployment of forces, safety of human life and protection of property, as directed by statutes and Department of War guidance. Exempted and excepted activities, including critical maintenance and shipbuilding activities, remain underway. Other activities must cease unless approved as an exception by me or by an official to whom the Chief of Naval Operations, the Commandant of the Marine Corps or I have delegated the authority to issue such approvals, consistent with reference (a). 3. Sailors and Marines ashore, afloat and forward give America options no adversary can match. We will remain on duty and continue to serve. Though a shutdown can affect pay timing, schedules and daily life, we are committed to helping you through it. 4. DON organizations and activities can find the latest guidance, instructions and procedures regarding excepted activities at: [https://flankspeed.sharepointmil.us/sites/RequestForExceptedActivitiesRFEA/SitePages/Home. aspx. This site is accessible to anyone with a Common Access Card. Commanders and Senior Enlisted Leaders, communicate early and often. Be clear about duties, exemptions and expectations. If something is unclear, elevate it fast. 5. Organizations and activities who believe their requirements must not be delayed until appropriated funding is restored should submit a Request for Excepted Activity through the Request for Excepted Activities Tool, which can be accessed at [https://dod.teams.microsoft.us/l/team/19%3Adod%3Ab799b9fe0cfc 4878a13f1f0e18e9488b%40thread.tacv2/conversations?groupId=a4a 0930d-0c82-4757-8ea4-a12d06e1d483&tenantId=e3333e00-c877- 4b87-b6ad-45e942de1750. Submissions must be signed by a sponsoring Flag/General Officer, Senior Executive Service Member or equivalent. Use of the “Request for Excepted Activities Tool” is the fastest method to submit a request and receive a decision. However, should there be a problem accessing the site, requests may be emailed to NonDelApprovals@navy.mil. This method should only be used in an emergency. 6. Guidance and information are also available on the Office of Civilian Human Resources website, [https://portal.secnav.navy.mil/orgs/MRA/DONHR/OCHRHQ/Pages/Fu rlough.aspx. 7. Leaders, check on your people early and often. We are teammates taking care of teammates. Command teams must provide updates on timing and duty status. If you need assistance, talk to your chain of command, your command’s Ombudsman or Fleet and Family Support Centers. Use the Department of the Navy Civilian Employee Assistance Program or Military OneSource. These resources are built for moments like this. 8. For additional information and resources, please visit navy.mil and marines.mil. 9. Your commitment is our compass. Stay focused and stay ready. This situation does not define your service. Your service defines our strength. Our unity will carry us through. Thank you for your dedication and service. 10. This message is automatically canceled once appropriations have been restored either via a Continuing Resolution or other budgetary process. 11. Released by the Honorable John C. Phelan, Secretary of the Navy.// ___________________ John C. Phelan
