Naval Safety Center.—Commander,  Naval Safety Center (COMNAVSAFECEN) enhances the war-fighting capability of the Navy and Marines by arming our Sailors, Marines and civilians with the knowledge they need to save lives and preserve resources.  This  mission  is  accomplished  by investigating  and  advocating  new  methods, technology, and initiatives to improve the safety process and by setting naval safety policy. Commandant of the Marine Corps The Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC) commands the Marine Corps. The commandant is directly   responsible   to   SECNAV   for   the administration,  discipline,  internal  organization, training requirements, efficiency, readiness, and total performance of the Marine Corps. The commandant also operates the material support system of the Marine Corps. The commandant keeps the SECNAV fully informed on matters considered or acted upon by the Joint Chiefs of Staff. As the Marine Corps member of the  Joint  Chiefs  of  Staff,  the  commandant  is responsible to the President and the SECDEF for duties external to the DoN as prescribed by law. The commandant is directly responsible to the CNO for the organization, training, and readiness of Marine Corps forces assigned to Navy operating forces. Marine Corps forces, when so assigned, are subject to the command  exercised  by  the  CNO  over  the  Navy operating  forces.  Likewise,  Navy  members  or organizations assigned to the Marine Corps are subject to the command of the Commandant of the Marine Corps. 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 DoN, 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, 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 specialty, are fundamentally the same, forged from a common experience in 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.
