That the Marine Corps is subordinate to and part of the US Navy.
The US Navy and Marine Corps are both parts of the US Navy. Then there's shore establishments, HQ's and Operating units if I'm correct. If you want a more simple answer- The Navy, Navy Reserve, Marine Corps Reserve, and the Marine Corps.
Two separate US Military Forces are under the direction of the Secretary of the Navy, the US Navy and the US Marine Corps under the most recent National Security Act of 1947.
The Marine Corps by Title X US Code is still a part of the Dept of the Navy.
No. That would be the US Navy.
It is a separate US military branch in the Department of the Navy.
Tradition.
The US Army is not part of the US Navy . EDIT: The Marine Corps is technically part of the Navy
The US Marine Corps is a branch of the US Military. It is a part of the Department of the Navy. The commandant services on the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The Marine Corps is not senior to the Navy, nor is the Navy senior to the Marine Corps. The USMC is a branch of the US Military under the jurisdiction of the Navy. Basically, the Marines conduct landing operations on coastal areas, working WITH the Navy, who mainly stays on the ships and in the air. If however the question regards parade marching position, then yes, the Marine Corps does take precedence by tradition over the Navy.
