Maintaining the current combat readiness of naval forces is the primary objective of this appropriation. These include carrier striking forces, submarine forces, antisubmarine forces, amphibious forces, and antiair warfare forces, whose major mission is to protect the sealanes vital to the free world's survival and to project rapidly American power to danger spots around the world. The inherent flexibility and mobility of naval forces provides a rapid and measured response to aggression or potential aggression with force appropriate to the threat. The day-to-day operating and maintenance costs of the naval shore establishment, which provide supply, repair, training and other support services to the naval operating forces, are also financed from this appropriation. Early in 1963 certain reserve forces which had been activated during 1962 as a result of increased world tensions, were released from active service, accounting for a slight reduction in the number of active fleet ships from 1962. The number of ships and the complexity of naval weapons systems are increased in 1964 over 1963. Expanded and improved training programs are required in order to provide the additional trained personnel necessary to operate and maintain the more sophisticated weapons systems. Growing needs in oceanography, com3,059,504 3.006,735 3,126,013 munications, intelligence, and data maintenance must be provided for in order to attain and maintain the desired capability of the operating forces. -1,896 -2,190 Unobligated balance brought forward, mili- -107 39,443 Combat readiness will be maintained through continued fleet training exercises. This budget provides 2.2 million steaming hours for active fleet ships and 3.8 million flying hours for naval aircraft. Funds are also included for the OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE-Continued General and special funds-Continued OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE, NAVY-Continued operation of 24 Polaris submarines by the end of the yeardouble the number operating in the current year. Supply, communications, medical, construction battalion, and public works functions support the operations described above. The Navywide supply system will process 22 million separate supply actions in 1964 and will manage 1.2 million stock items. As executive agent for the Defense Department, the Navy will provide logistic support to the U.S. program for Antarctica. This support will include operation and maintenance of ships, aircraft, and facilities at a cost of $20 million.1 A major change in the appropriation content is the transfer of the military family housing program to the appropriation Family housing, Defense. A supplemental appropriation for 1963 is anticipated for separate transmittal. 1. General expenses, Navy personnel.-Modern naval operations dictate the recruiting and training of highly adaptable and capable personnel. The program includes training for approximately 143,000 recruits; technical, scientific, and professional training and education for approximately 400,000 officers and enlisted men; reserve training for approximately 125,000 reservists and support for over 11,000 NROTC midshipmen in civilian colleges. In addition, the Naval Academy will prepare 3,900 midshipmen for officer careers. 1962 actual 1963 estimate 1964 estimate 2. Weapons and facilities.-Naval and Marine Corps flight operations supporting the military missions of the Navy include combat operating forces, such as carrier air groups, Marine air wings, land-based patrol squadrons, and supporting units. Extensive flight training is programed to provide the skilled crews to perform these complex missions. In 1964 flight operations in both the Regular and Reserve categories are higher than in 1963. The increasing number of missile-firing ships in the fleet results in increased funds for missile system support, including Polaris, while the costs of operating and maintaining higher performance aircraft continue to rise as greater numbers are added each year. The shore establishment supporting these weapons systems includes air stations, ammunition depots, and ordnance plants. Average operating aircraft: Regular Reserves..

Civil engineering. Civil engineering services for the naval establishment include plant maintenance, operation of utilities and transportation, planning, engineering, and design and contract administration. Much of this work is accomplished at 6 public works centers operated in areas where several naval facilities are located, to provide centralized services common to the several facilities. The 12 Construction Battalions (Seabees) plus 2 headquarters staffs are also supported under this activity. These units are maintained in readiness to support the operating forces and also operate and build at stations from which Antarctic operations are conducted. 6. Servicewide supply. The workload of this activity is directly responsive to fleet, air, and shore station operations, including major procurement actions. This activity encompasses the logistical support of major active forces, both continental and overseas, at shipyards and at 14 major supply depots and centers. Planning and programing for this support, including procurement and requirements determinations, is accomplished by 11 inventory control points of which the Aviation Supply Office in Philadelphia is the largest. Transportation costs of intra-Navy movement of materiel directed by these inventory control points, including shipment by Military Sea Transportation Service, are also funded by this activity. A summary of workload data for this activity follows: the 7.

Program and Financing (in thousands of dollars) General. The objective of the Marine Corps is to train and maintain the Fleet Marine Forces in a high state of combat readiness for service with the Fleet in amphibious operations or for such duties as the President may direct. The Fleet Marine Forces, composed of three reinforced Marine division-aircraft wing teams and related support units, are assigned to the Atlantic and Pacific Fleets, which are naval components of unified commands. In 1964, the deployment of these forces will remain substantially unchanged. This appropriation principally supports the ground elements of the Fleet Marine Forces; the operations of the three Marine aircraft wings are financed primarily by the Operation and Maintenance, Navy appropriation. Öther units supported by this appropriation include Marine detachments aboard naval vessels, landing force training units, Marine Reserve ground forces, and the security forces that guard naval bases, U.S. embassies and certain classified facilities. The major installations supported by this appropriation are: 1. Training and operations. Operational deployments of Fleet Marine Force units with the Atlantic and Pacific Fleets will continue in 1964 at the present tempo of activity. Fleet Marine Forces training objectives stress vertical envelopment doctrine in amphibious operations through major exercises by combined air and ground units. To support training objectives, the Corps recruits and trains military personnel and operates four major combat-unit support bases, two recruit training depots and one school.

This activity includes the overhaul and preservation of major equipment and materiel and the receipt, issue, and storage of materiel to support combat forces. Major equipment repair is -2,828 programed on the basis of balancing items repaired with new procurements to meet a maximum materiel readiness requirement within fund resources available. Supply activity workload is more directly related to the level of manning and operations of combat forces. Programing and planning for this logistic support is accomplished at the Marine Corps Supply Activity, Philadelphia; storage and issue functions are accomplished primarily at two major supply centers. In 1964, the Corps will continue a 4-year program of overhaul and modernization of amphibious landing vehicles commenced in 1962. 192,300 3. Transportation of things. This activity provides funds for the movement of Marine Corps supplies within the continental United States and overseas, including 192,300 stevedoring and port handling charges. 1 Reimbursements from non-Federal sources are principally from sales of surplus U.S. Government property; sales of goods and services to individuals, including laundry services and unofficial telephone service (10 U.S.C. 2481 and 7581; 70 Stat. 1105). 4. Marine Corps Reserve training. The objective of this program is to provide a strong Reserve organization capable of rapid assimilation into the operating forces when needed. This activity finances the annual field training of Reserve units, maintenance and operation of |
