Each year CHINFO evaluates the Cruise Books published by Naval Units and awards winners in two categories: Category V1 (small commands - fewer than 500 persons) and Category V2 (large commands - more than 500 persons).
This annual competition is announced by NAVADMIN in Nov/Dec of each year for Cruise Books published that calander year. Submissions are usually due to CHINFO by February, with winners announced by NAVADMIN in March.
Your command worked hard and sacrificed much during deployment...why not earn some well deserved Navy-wide recognition for your unit's accomplishments? Follow the
