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

    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

    from the sea to fight on land.
        For most of the country's history, integrated Navy-Marine Corps
    expeditionary forces have been routinely forward deployed around the
    world. The Marine Corps is tasked by law to be ``the most ready when the
    Nation is least ready.'' All marines, regardless of speciality, are
    fundamentally the same, forged from a common experience in

    [[Page 222]]

    boot camp or officer training, sharing a common set of values, and
    trained as a cohesive air-ground team from the moment they join the
    Marine Corps.
        The Marine Corps conducts entry-level training for its enlisted
    marines at two bases, Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island, SC, and
    Marine Corps Recruit Depot, San Diego, CA. Officer candidates are
    evaluated at Officer Candidate School at Marine Corps Combat Development
    Command, Quantico, VA.
        The Marine Corps has a global perspective which is not focused on
    any particular threat. While the primary responsibility for winning wars
    lies with the Army, Navy, and Air Force, the Marine Corps wins battles,
    ever ready to respond to international ``brush fires.'' Marines train to
    be first on the scene to respond to attacks on the United States or its
    interests, acts of political violence against Americans abroad, disaster
    relief, humanitarian assistance, or evacuation of Americans from foreign
    countries. Operating from Navy ships afloat, the Navy-Marine team
    provides a unique range of options for the country's leadership. At sea,
    these units can operate from a protected sea base, unencumbered by
    political constraints often encountered by U.S. forces based in foreign
    countries.
        At the very basic level, the Marine Corps uses a system of ranks
    similar to that of the U.S. Army. Ground units are organized into
    squads, platoons, battalions, regiments, divisions, etc., also similar
    to the Army. Marine aviation units are organized into squadrons, groups,
    and wings, similar to the Air Force and Navy. However, the size, number,
    and composition of Marine Corps ground and aviation units differ from
    the other services. Expanding on this basic organizational framework,
    the Marine Corps employs a versatile and flexible organizational
    approach by task organizing its units for deployments and contingencies.
    These are called Marine Air Ground Task Forces (MAGTF's), which can
    emphasize whatever capability is required to accomplish the mission.
    Regardless of size, all MAGTF's share four common elements, which vary
    in size and composition according to the mission: Command Element,
    Ground Combat Element, Aviation Combat Element, and Combat Service
    Support Element. MAGTF's are organized, trained, and equipped to conduct
    operations across three dimensions: air, land, and sea. Through a
    combination of strategic basing and prepositioning of equipment, global
    forward operations, and an ability to rapidly deploy by air and sea,
    MAGTF's provide a building block approach to deploying Marine Corps
    combat power.
        The Marine Corps also has other marines and units that provide
    specialized support and capabilities. Marine Security Guards provide
    security at each U.S. Embassy around the world. The Marine Corps
    Security Force Battalion, headquartered in Norfolk, VA, provides mobile
    training teams to support antiterrorism training at naval installations
    and maintains Fleet Antiterrorist Security Teams for deployment as
    directed by the Chief of Naval Operations. With the advent of the
    chemical and biological weapons threat, the Marine Corps has created the
    Chemical Biological Incident Response Force, based at Camp Lejeune, NC,
    to respond on short notice to chemical or biological incidents
    worldwide.
