- To develop at sea a naval power that will be able to protect our legal rights for sovereignty, to defend the Greek coasts and islands by sea, to keep the sea lines of communications open, to show power in land and to emphasize our naval presence to all the Greek sea area and the widest area of East Mediterranean.
- To develop in the air an air force that will be able to protect our rights for sovereignty, to ensure the air defense of the country, to support the other Branches of the Armed Forces trying to protect the integrity of the landlocked and insular country, as well as to assure the operational capability in the widest area of East Mediterranean.
- To maximize the capability of joint action of all the Branches of the Armed Forces, emphasizing on the interservice complimentarity so that will be able to carry out combined operations in the direction of the implementation of the mixed operational doctrine to the special environment of every possible Operations' Theater for the achievement of the objectives of our defense strategy.
