Responsibilities

Subordinate to the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of the Navy is responsible for, and has statutory authority (Title 10 of the United States Code Section 5013) to "conduct all the affairs of the Department of the Navy", i.e. as its Chief Executive Officer. The Department of the Navy consists of two Uniformed Services: the United States Navy and the United States Marine Corps.^[3] In effect, all authority within the Navy and Marine Corps is derivative of the authority vested in the Secretary of the Navy. Specifically enumerated responsibilities of the SECNAV in beforementioned section are: recruiting, organizing, supplying, equipping, training, mobilizing, and demobilizing. The Secretary also oversees the construction, outfitting, and repair of naval ships, equipment and facilities. SECNAV is responsible for the formulation and implementation of policies and programs that are consistent with the national security policies and objectives established by the President or the Secretary of Defense.^[4]^[5]

Whenever the United States Coast Guard operates as a service within the Department of the Navy, the Secretary of the Navy has the same powers and duties with respect to the Coast Guard as the Secretary of Homeland Security when the Coast Guard is not operating as a service in the Navy.^[6] The principal military advisers to the SECNAV are the two service chiefs of the naval services: for matters regarding the Navy the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO), and for matters regarding the Marine Corps the Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC). The CNO and the Commandant acts as the principal executive agents of the SECNAV within their respective services to implement the orders of the Secretary.

The Navy Secretariat

The Office of the Secretary of the Navy and its subordinate officials are known collectively as the Navy Secretariat. The principal officials of the Secretariat include the Under Secretary of the Navy (the Secretary's principal civilian deputy), the Assistant Secretaries of the Navy (ASN), the General Counsel of the Department of the Navy, the Judge Advocate General of the Navy, the Naval Inspector General, the Chief of Legislative Affairs, and the Chief of Naval Research. The Office of the Secretary of the Navy has sole responsibility within the Department of the Navy for acquisition, auditing, financial and information management, legislative affairs, public affairs, research, and development.^[7]

The CNO and the Commandant have separate staffs, the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations and Headquarters United States Marine Corps.
