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.  The  Marine  Corps  has  a global  perspective,  which  is  not  focused  on  any 5-18 Q8.
