    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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.

    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 its 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.

    [[Page 221]]

        --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
    and forward bases in the Western Pacific to respond to contingencies
    worldwide.
