Mission First to See, First to Fight. Our mission is to provide dominant, all-weather airborne command and control, battle management, and theater-wide situational awareness to the Carrier Strike Group and Joint Force Commanders. We leverage the advanced capabilities of the E-2D Hawkeye to deliver a decisive information advantage, enabling lethal and non-lethal effects across all domains, ensuring maritime superiority, power projection, and victory in combat.
