NWC ADMINISTRATION & ORGANIZATION
Within the Department of the Navy, the President of the Naval War College is accountable
directly to the Chief of Naval Operations, who in turn is responsible to the Secretary
of the Navy. The Secretary of the Navy, under the Secretary of Defense, is similarly
responsible to the President and the Congress of the United States for proper management
of the Department of the Navy.
The Chief of Naval Operations establishes the College's mission, provides general
guidelines and appropriated funds for its operation, and selects the President of
the Naval War College, who exercises direct authority over all of the College's
academic and operational activities. The President of the Naval War College is a
U.S. Navy unrestricted line officer in the grade of vice admiral. The Provost administers
the College's academic and research programs through an organization composed of
the Dean of Academics, who directs and coordinates all academic programs and departments,
including the two international programs-the Naval Command College and the Naval
Staff College; the Dean of Naval Warfare Studies, who directs and coordinates the
College's major research efforts, including the War Gaming Department; the Dean
of Administration, who is responsible for the direction of all day-to-day administrative
and support functions; and the Dean of Students, who is responsible for all student
matters connected with the Colleges of Naval Warfare and Naval Command and Staff.
