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.

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. Internet, http://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. 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.
