SYSCOM
The systems commands, abbreviated as SysCom or SYSCOM, are the materiel agencies of the United States Department of the Navy, responsible for the design, construction, and maintenance of military systems such as ships, aircraft, facilities, and weapons. The systems commands replaced the Navy bureau system in 1966 and report to the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research, Development and AcquisitionASN RD&A. The current Navy systems commands are: *Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) *Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) *Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR) (formerly SPAWAR), *Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) *Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) *Marine Corps Systems Command (MCSC) The Office of Naval Research is sometimes grouped with the systems commands, although it has a different mission geared towards scientific research rather than weapon systems development and acquisition.

United States Navy Bureau System
The "bureau system" of the United States Navy was the Department of the Navy's material-support organization from 1842 through 1966. The bureau chiefs were largely autonomous, reporting directly to the Secretary of the Navy and managing their respective organizations without the influence of other bureaus. In 1966, the bureaus were gradually replaced by unified commands (generally known as " systems commands" or SYSCOMs) reporting to the Chief of Naval Operations. Before the bureaus For the first several decades of the Navy Department's existence, all procurement and material matters were handled directly by the Office of the Secretary of the Navy. As the navy expanded during the War of 1812, it became clear that this system was not sufficient for the service's needs. On February 7, 1815, Congress established a three-member Board of Naval Commissioners to handle material-support matters. As part of the navy secretary's office, the board's jurisdiction generally extended only lo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Line Officer
In the United States Armed Forces, a line officer or officer of the line is a U.S. Navy or U.S. Marine Corps commissioned officer or warrant officer who exercises general command authority and is eligible for operational command positions, as opposed to officers who normally exercise command authority only within a Navy Staff Corps. The term ''line officer'' is also used by the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Coast Guard to indicate that an officer is eligible for command of operational, viz., tactical or combat units. The term is not generally used by officers of the U.S. Army – the roughly corresponding Army terms are basic branch (e.g, Infantry) and special branch (e.g., Medical Corps) qualified officers, although the concepts are not entirely synonymous, as some Army special branch officers (e.g., Judge Advocate General's Corps) are eligible to hold command outside their branch specialty. Officers who are not line officers are those whose primary duties are generally in non-co ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
