In 1950, NJS moved to its present location in Newport, R.I. NJS currently provides accession and continuing legal training for all Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard lawyers and enlisted legal professionals, active and reserve, as well as training for Sea Service commanders, legal officers, senior enlisted and others in the proper administration of military law. Staffed with officer and enlisted personnel from each of the Sea Services and supported by civilian administrative personnel, NJS currently offers more than 45 courses of instruction in Newport annually.

As the mission of NJS has expanded, additional offices have been established to serve commands in different geographical areas. These offices include a detachment in San Diego, Calif., established in 1991 to conduct training on the West Coast and overseas Pacific; a branch at The Judge Advocate General's Legal Center and School (U.S. Army) in Charlottesville, Va., established in 1991; and a detachment at Naval Station Norfolk, Va., added in 1995 to provide waterfront legal training at the largest naval base in the world. A ten-week Basic Lawyer Course trains Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard lawyers in the fundamentals of military justice and relevant civil law, with particular focus on the development of trial advocacy skills, administrative law and investigations, legal assistance, basic operational law and the preparation of new military attorneys to act as counsel at courts-martial. Graduates often return to NJS from the field for added career training as staff judge advocates and for specialized training in trial advocacy, prosecuting and defending complex cases, computer crimes, legal assistance and the law of military operations.

The Naval Justice School and the detachments offer a number of courses to members who are not lawyers. A three-week Legal Officer Course trains junior officers and senior enlisted personnel in the basic administration of military justice and prepares them for duty as unit/battalion/squadron legal officers. A one-week Senior Officer Course, offered worldwide, provides commanding and executive officers with training on the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) and other matters relating to their legal responsibilities.

The 11-week Legalman Accession Course provides intensive paralegal training for Navy enlisted personnel selected for the Legalman rating. In addition, all Legalmen are now required to participate in the Legalman Paralegal Education Program (LPEP), a two year program leading to an Associate of Science degree in Paralegal Studies. LPEP students study via distance learning, with some students returning to NJS for one semester of in-residence study with Roger Williams University. The Marine Corps Legal Services Specialist Course, which runs for nine weeks, is designed to give junior enlisted Marines the skills and training necessary to support legal offices throughout the Marine Corps. Select graduates from the Specialist course receive 11 weeks of additional training in the preparation of verbatim records of trial. The school also holds a Coast Guard Legal Technician course to train selected personnel in the basic military justice and civil law issues encountered in the Coast Guard. For enlisted personnel who are not in a legal rating or military occupation specialty (MOS), the school provides a two-week Legal Clerk Course on preparing report chits, service record entries and other administrative matters relating to minor disciplinary infractions. In addition, NJS provides continuing legal training to enlisted legal professionals including courses in legal research and writing, court reporting, and specialized training for senior legalmen, command judge advocate personnel and mid-career enlisted personnel.

NJS provides ongoing training to the Navy and Marine Corps Reserve component officers and enlisted legal professionals with the support of NJS Reserve Unit 101 and its USMC Individual Mobilization Activity Detachment.

Established in 1884, the U.S. Naval War College (NWC) is the oldest institution of its kind in the world. More than 50,000 students have graduated since its first class of nine students in 1885 and over 160 of today's active-duty admirals and generals are alumni.

Navy Department General Order #325, dated Oct. 6, 1884, stated, in part, "A college is hereby established for an advanced course of professional study for naval officers..." In a matter of only months after the order was released, NWC's founding President, Commodore Stephen B. Luce, welcomed the first class of nine students.

From this humble beginning the college has grown and transformed into the nation's premier Professional Military Education institution, now educating more than 40,000 students annually, with resident and non-resident curricula tailored to the educational needs of Sailors from the ranks of E-1 to O-8.

As a fully accredited graduate institution, students completing the rigorous College of Naval Warfare and College of Naval Command and Staff resident curricula earn a Master of Arts degree in National Security and Strategic Studies and earn joint professional military education credit. Reflecting the College's Navy-wide reach, Fleet Seminar students enrolled on a network of 20 satellite campuses across the country can also earn the MA degree. The college also has a robust international engagement mission with approximately 100 international officers graduating yearly.

Just as NWC's educational programs have expanded in depth and reach, so have the research and analysis efforts conducted by NWC's Center for Naval Warfare Studies. Through war games, conferences, workshops and publications, NWC's research arm provides direct curriculum support to our educational programs and focused task-driven analysis for fleet customers and government agencies across the national security spectrum.

The Naval War College contributes significantly to enabling the service to meet the challenges outlined in the nation's Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower. By developing strategic and operational leaders, the college helps create a cadre of critical thinkers with the ability to respond to emerging threats and to capitalize on emerging opportunities.

By helping the CNO define the future Navy, the college's researchers and analysts provide Navy leadership with unbiased and independent analysis on the key issues affecting the service and the nation.

The college supports combat readiness by conducting training, education, and assessment functions to improve the capability of Navy commanders to lead in maritime, joint, and combined headquarters.

By strengthening maritime security cooperation around the globe, the college helps build and maintain the relationships with Navies around the world who can work cooperatively for the common good.

The Naval War College has often been called the Navy's "home of thought," and as such, it constitutes a unique national asset unmatched anywhere else in the world. Through education, research, gaming, and training, the college helps shape and support the intellectual leaders of tomorrow's Navy and her joint and combined service partners.

The Navy Supply Corps School was first opened as the Navy Supply Corps School of Application in 1921, located at the Navy Department in Washington, D.C. Following closure three years later, supply officers learned their profession on the job, at sea from senior supply officers and through formal, but independent coursework over the course of the next ten years. A more formal arrangement was achieved when the Naval Finance and Supply School was opened in September 1934 for instructing regular Navy Supply Corps officers. Training of reserve officers didn't occur until 1940, when the Supply corps Naval Reserve Officers School was established in Washington, D.C. After ten months, the two schools merged and created the Navy Supply Corps School, located at the Harvard Business School in Cambridge, Mass. Since that time, the Navy Supply Corps School has been hosted at various locations, including the Naval Supply Operational Training Center in Bayonne, N.J. where it official became the Navy Supply Corps School and Athens, Ga.

The Navy Supply Corps School officially relocated from Athens, Ga. to Newport, R.I. in December 2010. Housed in a 58,000 square foot state of the art facility complete with electronic classrooms, NSCS Newport had its opening ceremony onboard Naval Station Newport on Jan. 24, 2011. Officially named The Wheeler Center, the building is named after VADM Kenneth R. Wheeler, SC, USN, a former World War II prisoner of war who served as a former Commander, Naval Supply Systems Command and 31st Chief of Supply Corps. VADM Wheeler earned his third star in 1973 at which time he as designated Vice Chief of Naval Material.

The building contains eleven electronic classrooms, two Video Tele-Training rooms, a multi-purpose room capable of being separated into three classrooms, and nine breakout rooms.

SURFACE WARFARE OFFICERS SCHOOL COMMAND (SWOSCOLCOM)
Building 446/1268
446 Cushing Road
Telephone: 841-4957
Website: http://www1.netc.navy.mil/swos
Overlooking Narragansett Bay in Newport, the Surface Warfare Officers School Command (SWOS) occupies three main buildings on board NAVSTA Newport; Memorial Hall, Arleigh Burke and Weakley Hall; all are located on Coasters Harbor Island. The SWOS mission is to provide a continuum of professional education and training in support of Surface Navy requirements that prepares officers (CWO2-O6) to serve at sea. SWOS is dedicated to the professional development of seagoing Surface Warfare Officers and has been for the 50 years since its founding as the Naval Destroyer School in 1961. Surface Warfare Officers attend SWOS several times throughout their careers. Initially officers attend Division Officer courses prior to and during their first sea tour. As officers rise through the ranks, they are selected as Department Heads, Executive Officers, Commanding Officers and possibly, heads of Major Commands. At each step they return to SWOS to enhance and share their fleet experiences, as well as get back up to speed with the latest in technologies, using state-of-the art trainers and simulators.

Prior to newly commissioned Officers arriving on board their first ship, they will attend the Surface Warfare Officer (SWO) Introduction Course, which consists of simulator training encompassing basic Navigation, Seamanship, and Shiphandling (NSS); Division Officer Fundamentals; basic Engineering and Damage Control; Maritime Warfare; and Navy Familiarization training. This three-week course focuses on providing newly commissioned Surface Warriors with focused training on fundamental SWO skill-sets. Additionally, this training prepares to be effective and efficient contributors to the success of their first ship from day one. However, the Division Officer 'flagship' course, called Advanced Shiphandling And Tactics (ASAT), is a three week, rigorous course of instruction that aims to build on Division Officer experience, while focusing on enhancing warfare skills, full spectrum tactical knowledge and Navigation, Seamanship and Shiphandling competency.

The core components of the modular course include Maritime War fighting curriculum and Advanced Shiphandling/Bridge Resource Management. All curriculum encapsulate the broad range of Navy missions and is reinforced and applied in tactical scenarios with use of state-of-the-art simulation.

SWOS is also responsible for the development and implementation of the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) Officer of the Deck (OOD) and Junior Officer of the Deck Courses. The foundation of the curriculum for these courses is rooted in the U.S. Navy's Train to Qualify (T2Q) concept, which establishes a baseline objective with the intent to equip the prospective LCS OOD/JOOD students with the requisite mariner skills and tactical awareness required to proficiently operate a high-speed (LCS) upon reporting aboard. In order to achieve this goal, the curriculum has two primary areas of focus; classroom familiarization instruction and state-of-the-art simulator based proficiency training. The SWOS simulator is the only one of its' kind capable of training both variants of the LCS within the same building. Students are provided the necessary tools to safely operate a high-speed vessel through any navigational situation, with a particular focus on the fundamentals of seamanship, safety and a thorough understanding of the capabilities and limitations of our Navy's newest ship class.

After successful Division Officer tours, officers may be selected to attend the Department Head Course. As an evolution of the original Destroyer School, this course is one of the most demanding, in-depth professional courses a Surface Warfare Officer will attend during his or her career. This intensive 27-week course is designed to prepare officers for duty as Engineering, Combat Systems, Operations, or First Lieutenant Department Heads on all classes of ships. The course is divided into two major subdivisions: Basic Tactics, where students are trained in the skills that Tactical Action Officers demand to effectively fight their ships; followed by Operations, Readiness, Training, and Engineering where the specifics of each student's prospective assignments are explored. Approximately 275 students attend the Department Head Course each year.

As officers complete tours as Department Heads, they may screen for Commander Command and return to SWOS for the Prospective Executive Officer/Commanding Officer Fleet Up course. This course prepares them with the tactical, operational, material management and advanced ship-handling skills required to excel in command. The curriculum culls the best practices through the use of case studies and mentor sessions in order to identify where post commander command staff members have encountered and overcome obstacles while in command. The final week is an at-sea period that matches the PCO with his ship's CLASSRON (Specific Ship Class Squadron) that will be supporting his/her ship type during his 18 month tour.

The final and most senior course taught at SWOS is the Major Command Course. This course is designed to provide senior officers, who have completed at least one tour as a Commanding Officer, with additional expertise needed to fully utilize their assets, such as aircraft carriers, AEGIS cruisers, large deck amphibious assault and Destroyer and Amphibious squadrons.

The Engineering Specialty Training Department has an active role in each stage of a Surface Warfare Officer's professional education pipeline, from newly commissioned Division Officers to Captains heading to Major Command.

At each level the engineering material is tailored to best fit the needs of the student. The Engineering Specialty Training Department is organized to maximize the assembled engineering technical expertise. Instructors of steam, diesel and gas turbine systems work together to provide Surface Warfare Officers, Limited Duty Officers, Engineering Duty Officers and Warrant Officers with quality engineering instruction in the following areas: main propulsion systems and controls, auxiliary systems, electrical systems, maintenance management, engineering program management and engineering departmental administration.

Also taught at SWOS is the International Surface Warfare Officer School (ISWOS), which plays a vital role in building lasting relationships with our international partners. These ISWOS courses (CICWO, DIVO, Dept. Head and Joint Maritime Tactical Development) are designed to train foreign naval surface warriors in all aspects of surface warfare from damage control to coalition operations. During the course of their instruction, they are immersed in our culture, tour historic American sites and build lasting relationships with each other as well as their U.S. counterparts.

Students of the Surface Warfare Officers School receive a graduate level education and are able to make immediate contributions to their gaining command upon arrival-ready to Drive, Fight and Lead. From the Bachelors degree level education provided to our Division Officers, Masters degree level education provided to our Department Heads, and Doctorate level of education provided to our Executive Officers, Commanding Officers and Major Commanders, SWOS has developed into the University of Surface Warfare.

The officers who complete our curriculum are ready for today's challenges of tactical decision-making and understand how to employ their ships to their maximum capability. These accomplishments are only achievable because of dedicated instructors and staff. By constantly adjusting the curriculum to keep pace with the rapidly changing global situations and technologies, SWOS meets the needs of the fleet and incorporates the most modern and dynamic teaching methodologies. As the geopolitical situation continues to change, SWOS will continue as the "Center of Surface Warfare Excellence."
