Turns out it is very likely to be real (seeing as how it was posted on the Navy site verbatim), but a better question is:
Why do they feel the need to make a statement like this?
Seems odd, unless they suspect something might be coming that they want to get ahead of. You don't make this statement in any ordinary year, so what does that tell you?

It was posted by Navy Times and Military Times first.
Last I checked, it's not on the JCS website. I could be wrong, though.
Haven't checked this morning and don't have the time to right now.
