NAVAL SERVICE TRAINING COMMAND MISSION

The mission of the Naval Service Training Command is to transform volunteers into Naval Service Professionals. We instill and reinforce enduring core values, knowledge, and skills to prepare them for the fleet. Naval Service Training Command oversees Recruit Training Command, Officer Training Command, Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps and Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps.

 

 

RECRUIT TRAINING COMMAND (RTC)

 
The mission of Recruit Training Command is embodied in the Recruit Division Commander's Creed.
 

"These recruits are entrusted to my care. I will train them to the best of my ability. I will develop them into smartly disciplined, physically fit, basically trained sailors. I will instill in them, and demonstrate by my own example, the highest standard of Honor, Courage and Commitment."

Supplying the fleet with top-quality basically trained Sailors ready for follow-on training is why we are here. The leadership of Recruit Training Command cannot do this alone. It takes the dedication, hard work, and selflessness of our committed staff to pull everything together.
