Navy and Marine Corps ammunition. Naval Refers to Both the Navy and Marine Corps Althoughthe termnaval is oftenusedto refer specifically to the Navy, it more properly refers to both the Navy and Marine Corps, because both the Navy andMarineCorps are naval services. Even though the Marine Corps sometimes operates for extended periods as a land fighting force (as it has done in recent years, for example, in Afghanistan and Iraq), and is often thought of as the country's second land army, it nevertheless is, by law, a naval service. 10U.S.C. 8001(a)(3) states that The term'member of the naval service' means a person appointed or enlisted in, or inducted or conscripted into, the Navy or the Marine Corps. DON officials sometimes refer to the two services as the Navy-Marine Corps team. See also the sectionbelow entitled The Naval Service. N avy in DOD Budget Documents Can Mean DON DOD budget documents that divide the DOD budget into fourmilitary departments often label those departments as Army, Navy, Air Force, and Defense-Wide. In using data from such documents, it is important to remember that the category called Navy in these cases refers to the Department of the Navy, and thus includes funding for both the Navy and Marine Corps. Blue Dollars and Green Dollars in DON Budget People who workwith the DON budget sometimes refer to blue dollars, meaning funding in the DONbudget for the Navy, and green dollars, meaning funding in the DON budget for the Marine Corps. Of the more than two dozen appropriation accounts that formDON's budget, many contain funding specifically for either the Navy or Marine Corps. For example, the Operation and Maintenance, Navy (OMN), appropriation account contains operation and maintenance funding primarily for the Navy, while the Operation and Maintenance, Marine Corps (OMMC), The Navy's shipbuilding account, known formally as the Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy (SCN) appropriation account, funds theprocurement of various types of ships, including amphibious ships. Although amphibious ships are Navy ships operatedby Navy crews, the primary function of amphibious ships is to transport Marine Corps personnel and equipment and support Marine Corps ship-to-shore movements and Marine Corps operations ashore. The Navy's amphibious ships are sometimes referred to informally as the GatorNavy, a shortening ofthe term alligator, an animal that, like the Marine Corps, can move from the water to land, and then backinto the water. DON Budget DON's proposed FY2022 budgetrequests $211.7 billion, of which, DON states, $163.9 billion (77.4%) is for the Navy and $47.9 billion (22.6%) is for the Marine Corps.
