As such, DONhas a single civilian leader, the Secretary of the Navy, and two four-s tar military service chiefs-an admiralwhose title is the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO), and a generalwhose title is the Commandant of the Marine Corps. Although the title Secretary of the Navy includes only the termNavy, the secretary serves as the civilian leader for both the Navy and Marine Corps. The CNO and the Commandant of the Marine Corps are members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS). The Secretary of the Navy is Carlos Del Toro, the CNO is Admiral MichaelGilday, and the Commandantof the Marine Corps is GeneralDavid Berger. Naval Refers to Both the Navyand Marine Corps Althoughthe termnaval is often used to refer specifically to the Navy, it more properly refers to both the Navy and Marine Corps, because both the Navy andMarineCorps are navalservices. Even though the Marine Corps sometimes operates for extended periods as a land fighting force (as it did 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. 10 U.S.C. 8001(a)(3) states thatThe 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. Navy in DOD Budget Documents Can Mean DON DOD budget documents that divide the DOD budget into four military 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 work with 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 accountcontains operation and maintenance funding primarily for the Navy, while the Updated August 11, 2021 Operation andMaintenance, MarineCorps (OMMC), appropriation account contains operation and maintenance funding for the Marine Corps. A few DON appropriation accounts include funding for both the Navy and Marine Corps, even though their titles refer only to the Navy. For example, the Aircraft Procurement, Navy (APN) appropriation account funds the procurement ofbothNavy and Marine Corps aircraft, and the Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation, Navy (RDTEN) account includes research and development funding for both the Navy and Marine Corps. The Procurement of Ammunition, Navy/Marine Corps (PANMC) account includes funding for procuring both Navy and Marine Corps ammunition. The Navy's shipbuilding account, known formally as the Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy (SCN) appropriation account, funds theprocurement ofvarious types ofships, 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 thenbackinto 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. In terms of appropriation groups, about26.7% is for military personnel, about 33.6% is for operations and maintenance, about 27.5% is for procurement, about 10.7% is for research and development, about 1.4% is for infrastructure, and about 0.1% is for revolving and management funds. DON Personnel DON's proposed budget for FY2022 requests a totalof 843,213 personnel, including 524,700 active-duty uniformed personnel (62.2%), 95,400 reserve personnel (11.3%), and 223,113 civilian personnel (26.5%). The budgetrequested atotal of 604,992 Navy personnel (346,200 active-duty, 58,600 reserve, and200,192 civilian), or about71.7% of the totalrequested for DON, and a total of 238,221 Marine Corps personnel (178,500 active-duty, 36,800 reserve, and 22,921 civilian), or about 28.3% of the total requested for DON. Coast Guard in Relation to DON Unlike DON, which is part of DOD and is covered (along with the Departments of the Army and Air Force) in the U.S. Code primarily in Title 10, the Coast Guard is part of ttps:/'crs reports~congress~gc
