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.

Phone, 703-614-1034. Internet, www.usmc.mil.

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.
    The Marine Corps, which is part of the Department of the Navy, is 
the smallest of the Nation's combat forces and is the only service 
specifically tasked by Congress to be able to fight in the air, on land, 
and at sea. Although marines fight in each of these dimensions, they are 
primarily a maritime force, inextricably linked with the Navy to move 
from the sea to fight on land.
    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. 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.
