[[Page 219]]
The primary mission of the Department of the Navy is to protect the
United States, as directed by the President or the Secretary of Defense,
by the effective prosecution of war at sea including, with its Marine
Corps component, the seizure or defense of advanced naval bases; to
support, as required, the forces of all military departments of the
United States; and to maintain freedom of the seas.
The United States Navy was founded on October 13, 1775, when Congress
enacted the first legislation creating the Continental Navy of the
American Revolution. The Department of the Navy and the Office of
Secretary of the Navy were established by act of April 30, 1798 (10
U.S.C. 5011, 5031). For 9 years prior to that date, by act of August 7,
1789 (1 Stat. 49), the conduct of naval affairs was under the Secretary
of War.
The National Security Act Amendments of 1949 provided that the
Department of the Navy be a military department within the Department of
Defense (63 Stat. 578).
The Secretary of the Navy is appointed by the President as the head
of the Department of the Navy and is responsible to the Secretary of
Defense for the operation and efficiency of the Navy (10 U.S.C. 5031).
The organization of the Department of the Navy is reflected in the
organization chart and personnel listing. The Department of the Navy
includes the U.S. Coast Guard when it is operating as a Service in the
Navy.
Office of the Secretary of the Navy
Secretary of the Navy
The Secretary of the Navy is the head of the Department of the Navy.
Under the direction, authority, and control of the Secretary of Defense,
the Secretary of the Navy is responsible for the policies and control of
the Department of the Navy, including its organization, administration,
functioning, and efficiency. The members of the Secretary's executive
administration assist in the discharge of the responsibilities of the
Secretary of the Navy.
During the temporary absence of the Secretary of the Navy, the Under
Secretary of the Navy is next in succession to act as the Secretary of
the Navy. The Under Secretary functions as deputy and principal
assistant to the Secretary, and acts with full authority of the
Secretary in the general management of the Department.
Civilian Executive Assistants
The Civilian Executive Assistants to the Secretary are the principal
advisers and assistants to the Secretary of the Navy on the
administration of the affairs of the Department of the Navy as a whole
and are assigned Departmentwide responsibilities for areas essential to
the efficient administration of the Department of the Navy.
The Civilian Executive Assistants to the Secretary of the Navy are
the Under Secretary of the Navy, the Assistant Secretaries of the Navy,
and the General Counsel of the Navy. It is the policy of the Secretary
to assign Departmentwide responsibilities essential to the efficient
administration of the Department of the Navy to the Civilian Executive
Assistants.
Each Civilian Executive Assistant, within an assigned area of
responsibility, is the principal adviser and assistant to the Secretary
on the administration of the affairs of the Department of the Navy. The
Civilian Executive Assistants carry out the duties in harmony with the
statutory positions of the Chief of Naval Operations, who is the
principal military adviser and executive to the Secretary regarding
naval matters, and the Commandant of the Marine Corps, who is the
principal military adviser and executive regarding Marine Corps matters.
Each is authorized and directed
[[Page 220]]
to act for the Secretary within his assigned area of responsibility.
The Staff Assistants
The Staff Assistants to the Secretary of the Navy are the Naval
Inspector General, the Comptroller of the Navy, the Auditor General of
the Navy, and the Chief of Information. The heads of such other offices
and boards established by law or by the Secretary for the purpose of
assisting the Secretary or one or more of the Civilian Executive
Assistants in the administration of the Department of the Navy are
detailed as follows.

interpretation, and litigation involving these issues; and acts on other
matters as directed by the Secretary.
The Judge Advocate General also supervises the administration of
military justice throughout the Department of the Navy, performs
functions required or authorized by the Uniform Code of Military
Justice, and provides technical supervision for the Naval Justice School
at Newport, RI.
The Judge Advocate General maintains a close working relationship
with the General Counsel on all matters of common interest and liaisons
with other departments and agencies of the Government as appropriate.

Advocate General when there is a vacancy in that office, or during the
absence or disability of the Judge Advocate General. The Deputy Judge
Advocate General is also Commander of the Naval Legal Service Command
which includes Naval Legal Service Offices, their detachments, and the

under reasonable standards of naval law and discipline, a discharge or
dismissal should be changed and, if so, what change should be made.
The Naval Complaints Review Board reviews, upon request, decisional

Board after April 1, 1977. The Naval Complaints Review Board determines
whether decisional documents conform to those applicable regulations of

civilian board established, pursuant to the provisions of 10 U.S.C.
1552, to relieve the Congress of the burden and necessity of considering
private relief legislation for the correction of errors and injustices
suffered by members and former members of the Navy and Marine Corps. The
Secretary of the Navy, acting through this board of civilians of the
executive part of the Department, is authorized to take action
consistent with law and regulation to correct naval or military records
of the Department of the Navy where such action is necessary or
[[Page 222]]
appropriate to correct an error or to remove an injustice. The Board
represents the highest echelon of review of administrative errors and
injustices. The Board reviews, on application, actions taken by various
boards and officials in the Department.

Oceanography The Commander, Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command,
and the Superintendent, U.S. Naval Observatory, are responsible for the
science, technology, engineering, operations, and those personnel and
facilities associated with each, which are essential to explore the
ocean and the atmosphere and to provide astronomical data and time for
naval and related national objectives. Oceanography examines how naval
operations are influenced by the physical environment and applies its
findings to the development of technology and methods for improving
naval operations.
The Naval Oceanographic Program embraces five major disciplines of
physical science to investigate the nature and behavior of the ocean
environment in which the Navy operates. They are:
Hydrography--to collect data for the charting of the oceans and to
establish geodetic references for navigation;
Oceanography--to define the characteristics of the water volume for
use in ocean reporting and prediction, and studies of underwater
acoustics, water dynamics, corrosion, and other factors influencing the
performance of naval systems;
Meteorology--to define the characteristics of the atmosphere for use
in weather reporting and prediction, and studies of upper atmosphere
winds and currents, refractive indices for radar performance, and
similar factors;
Astrometry--to determine the position and motions of celestial
bodies required for accurate navigation, operational support, and use in
calculating precise geodetic positions and azimuth references on Earth;
and
Precise Time--to determine, provide, and manage the distribution of
precise time and time interval (frequency), both atomic and
astronomical, for use in electronic navigation and command, control, and
communications.

United States Marine Corps
Commandant of the Marine Corps,
Headquarters, U.S. Marine Corps, Washington, DC 20380-0001
Phone, 703-614-2344
The United States Marine Corps was established on November 10, 1775, by
resolution of the Continental Congress. Marine Corps' composition and
functions are detailed in 10 U.S.C. 5063, and functions are performed as
follows:
--The Marine Corps, within the Department of the Navy, is organized
to include not less than three combat divisions and three aircraft
wings, and such other land combat, aviation, and other services as may
be organic therein.
--The Marine Corps is organized, trained, and equipped to provide
Fleet Marine Forces of combined arms, together with supporting air
components, for service with the fleet in the seizure or defense of
advanced naval bases and for the conduct of such land operations as may
be essential to the prosecution of a naval campaign.
--In addition, the Marine Corps provides detachments and
organizations for service on armed vessels of the Navy, provides
security detachments for the protection of naval property at naval
stations and bases, and performs such other duties as the President may
direct. However, these additional duties may not detract from or
interfere with the operations for which the Marine Corps is primarily
organized.
--The Marine Corps develops, in coordination with the Army and the
Air Force, those phases of amphibious operations that pertain to the
tactics, techniques, and equipment used by landing forces.
--The Marine Corps is responsible, in accordance with integrated
joint mobilization plans, for the expansion of peacetime components of
the Marine Corps to meet the needs of war.
Organization The Marine Corps is composed of Headquarters, U.S. Marine
Corps; the Operating Forces; and the Supporting Establishment. The
Operating Forces consist of Fleet Marine Force Atlantic, Fleet Marine
Force Pacific, Marine Corps Reserve, Marine Security Forces, and Marine
Detachments Afloat. The supporting establishment includes recruiting
activities, training installations, reserve support activities, ground
and aviation installations, and logistics bases.
The Marine Corps deploys and employs for combat as Marine Air Ground
Task Forces (MAGTF's). There are four types of MAGTF's: the Marine
Expeditionary Force, the Marine Expeditionary Brigade, the Marine
Expeditionary Unit, and the Special Purpose MAGTF. Each of these MAGTF's
has a command element, a ground combat element, an aviation combat
element, and a combat service support element. The size and specific
organization of the MAGTF is determined by the task to be accomplished--
task organization. For instance, Marine Expeditionary Units are
routinely deployed on amphibious ships to the Mediterranean Sea, Persian
Gulf, and Pacific Ocean providing deterrence to aggressors and
reassurance to our allies through their forward presence and unique
crisis response capabilities. Larger MAGTF's can rapidly deploy by air,
sea, or any combination of means from both coasts of the United States
[[Page 227]]
and forward bases in the Western Pacific to respond to contingencies
worldwide.
