Who does NMCO report to? What does reporting entail?
NMCO reports to the the U.S. Maritime Security Interagency Policy Committee, of which the Director of NMCO is a member. The MSIPC operates within the framework of the National Security Council and reports via the the NSC Deputies Committee and Principals Committee to the President of the United States. Reporting includes participation in quarterly meetings as a member of the MSIPC, and an annual report to the MSIPC on NMCO’s activities and implementation of MDA directives. In addition, the Director of NMCO has dual reporting reponsibility to the Commandant of the Coast Guard and to the Chief of Naval Operations, and keeps each apprised of MDA progress and NMCO activities through regular meetings and briefings either directly, or to their respective staffs.
