Chief of Naval Operations
Der Chief of Naval Operations (kurz CNO, dt. etwa: Chef der Marineoperationen) ist der ranghöchste Offizier und Admiralstabschef der US Navy. Von 1922 bis 1945 war der Chief of United States Fleet der ranghöchste Offizier der Navy und der Chief of Naval Operations der zweithöchste Offizier der Navy.
Aufgaben
Die Dienststellung CNO ist ein Admiral, der administrativ dem Secretary of the Navy (SecNav; dt. etwa: Marineminister) unterstellt ist, nicht aber operativ. Er hat eher eine administrative denn operative Rolle innerhalb der US Navy, die Kommandokette umgeht ihn, da der Verteidigungsminister Befehle direkt an regionale Kommandostellen, die Unified Combatant Commands weitergibt. Er wird von seinem Stellvertreter, dem Vice Chief of Naval Operations, unterstützt.
Als Mitglied der Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS), dem vereinigten Generalstab der US-Streitkräfte, ist der CNO der Hauptberater des Präsidenten in Marinefragen, verantwortlich für die Ressourcenverteilung in der US Navy und die operative Einsatzfähigkeit der ihm unterstellten Streitkräfte.
Sein Hauptquartier befindet sich auf dem Washington Navy Yard.
